Dolphins' conditions

Thank you for your report about the conditions for animals at the Mediterraneo Marine Park (The Sunday Times, August 3). Dolphins belong with their families and companions swimming freely in their rightful ocean home, not in cramped, ugly tanks.

Our fascination with these intelligent, graceful, and affable marine mammals is no excuse for depriving them of their freedom and forcing them to 'interact' with us. People who patronise a swim-with programme can go home, but the dolphins are there until their dying day. When your tourist memories fade, the dolphins will still be confined, doing the same old routines for yet more curious customers.

As long as anyone buys a ticket for these exploitative and cruel operations, dolphins will continue to suffer and die.
