<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• In the wild, dolphins can travel from 40 to 80 miles a day, using echolocation and sonar which they rely upon as acoustic creatures.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• In captivity, they are confined to barren concrete tanks where they are forced to perform circus tricks for the paying public. They are unable to use echolocation- as the sound waves ricocheting off of the tanks walls create stressful confusion for these animals- in some cases causing them to go literally insane.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• In the wild, they hunt live fish, and have a natural diet.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">• In captivity, they are hand-fed dead fish and are routinely given various medications to prevent serious ailments- such as stomach ulcers -which are a result of the stress in captivity.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Four male dolphins are currently being held at Disney World’s Epcot Park. They live in a pool surrounded by observation windows lined with people, screaming children, loud music, amplified voices and other stressful sounds.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They are literally treated as a ‘side-show’, and there is little to no information released publicly about them.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Disney claims that these dolphins are involved in ‘research programs’ at their park, but by simply visiting Epcot, it quickly becomes clear that there is no educational or conservational outcome.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These dolphins do NOT belong at a noisy, crowed theme park- living in an artificial indoor facility with little to no exposure to natural sunlight- they belong in their natural habitat- THE OCEAN.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tell Disney to do the right thing- RELEASE THESE DOLPHINS TO SEAPENS FOR REHABILITATION.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If Disney truly wishes to contribute to environmental research and help educate the public about these animals, they will make the humane choice and release these animals to seapens- allowing them to live in their natural habitat- the ocean -and receive rehabilitation. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We’re flooding Disney with letters, pressuring them to release their dolphins- join us!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By signing the petition, you are helping these dolphins get closer and closer to real freedom!</span></span><span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
