Commenting on the findings, ACRES Chief Executive Louis Ng said ACRES is “appalled by the conditions of the dolphins at Dolphin Lagoon”. He added that it supports the campaign by Wildlife Watcher (Singapore).

“Dolphins clearly do not do well in captivity and belong in the vast open oceans. The global movement to end the keeping of dolphins in captivity is growing. ACRES hopes that companies in Singapore will make a moral and ethical decision to end the confinement of dolphins in captivity.�

Mr Ng also cited Switzerland as an example, noting that the keeping of dolphins or whales in zoos or waterparks will end, while India, too, banned the keeping of cetaceans, or marine mammals, in captivity.



We need to phase out the “captive dolphin industry�, says ACRES: Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Singapore)’s Louis Ng in response to a report on ‘sub-standard’ conditions for creatures at Underwater World Singapore. http://cna.asia/1zyPzrj
