Dolphins are intelligent, social, and wide-ranging marine mammals meant to thrive in the vast, open oceans—not in confined tanks for human entertainment.
In captivity, dolphins are denied everything that is natural to them. They are separated from family pods, forced to perform for food, and confined to small enclosures where their physical and psychological wellbeing suffers. The illusion of a smiling dolphin hides a life of stress, sensory deprivation, and shortened lifespans.
At ACRES, we believe that no animal should suffer for our amusement. Through education, advocacy, and public engagement, we are working to end the captivity of dolphins in Singapore and the region.
Captivity is not conservation. It’s time to rethink the way we interact with wildlife and speak up for those who cannot.
Take action. Say NO to dolphin shows and marine mammal captivity. Help us push for ethical, science-based alternatives that truly respect wildlife.
