Nine dolphins at Miami Seaquarium were underfed as a form of punishment, causing unhealthy weight loss and dangerous aggressive behavior, according to a critical inspection by a federal agency.
were underfed as a form of punishment, causing unhealthy weight loss and dangerous aggressive behavior, according to a critical inspection by the federal agency that oversees animal attractions.
“Depriving these dolphins of their full dietary and nutrition requirements to ensure compliance during public encounters directly affected their health and well-being,” according to the report, which gave detailed anatomical descriptions of ‘very thin dolphins’ with exposed ribs and lean necks. “Deprivation of food or water shall not be used to train, work or otherwise handle animals. Correct from this day forward.
“As far as the nutrition and poor communication issues, we took corrective action even before the USDA got a tip and showed up.” “A hungry animal works harder, that’s the thinking,” Wallace said. “You increase the number of guests, you’re asking the dolphin to flap his pectoral fin — hi! — to 60 people, to put his head out and give kisses to more people, to have more people grab onto his pecs and swim. They’re hungrier, yet they’re being fed less food, and that makes anybody angry.”
