Dolphins or which in English is called dolphin belongs to the aquatic mammals that live in herds or groups. These animals communicate and receive stimuli using a sonar system, so that the dolphins will be able to avoid objects in front of him. Dolphins can be found in the seas and rivers throughout the world. This mammal is a close relative of whales and dolphins. Complex body structure made there are many technologies that are created by taking inspiration from dolphins. Among them is a swimsuit with a structure resembling the skin of dolphins which can reduce friction and radar in a submarine that is the way it works is similar to sonar of dolphins.
Besides famous for his complex structure and inspire a variety of technologies, the dolphin was also famous for his wit. In fact, dolphins belong to the most intelligent animals in addition to primates such as chimpanzees. The dolphins are trained can be a circus star for being able to jump over a fire circle and a number of other attractions. Because that's not surprising that we often find dolphins traveling circus. However, inappropriate treatment at the dolphin circus finally attracted the attention of the public, especially among animal lovers. Circus dolphins and also a variety of other animals considered as duping the public and animal exploitation. There are several points that cause circus dolphins as duping the public and animal exploitation.
The first is the treatment diverge at the dolphins into a circus star. Starting from the process of catching up with the training process undertaken, the dolphins would be governed by threats and fear. Sometimes a dolphin will be left feeling hungry and diimingi lure of food to obey the handler. Do not stop there, dwelling dolphins during a circus was made sober, so it seemed like a prison. Even more sad, this residence using fresh water mixed with chlorine and salt. The use of chlorine is dangerous because it can cause night blindness as well as for the dolphins. The moisture level of the dwelling dolphins even less attention so that it can injure the sensitive skin.
Another thing that makes the circus dolphins belong to the animal exploitation is feeding these intelligent animals. The data obtained from the Jakarta Animal Aid Network, or JAAN reveal that dolphins circus should be on a diet when they wanted to appear. This is done so that the dolphins are willing to obey the handler during circus performances take place, because the hungry they will do anything to get food. Dolphins also suffer because of the sensitivity of their sonar system to the sounds around him. At the time of the circus takes place, the merry sound of the audience unwittingly hurt the dolphins appear.
Then, where the circus side of duping the public of these dolphins? A dolphin circus show will generally say that the purpose of the circus dolphins are for education and support conservation. However, if traced further and it turns out there is a fact about the treatment is not appropriate in these animals, was it proper dolphin circus referred to as for education and conservation? Circus dolphins even more emphasis will be minimal entertainment and messaging related to conservation. The introduction to the wildlife by not showing their natural habitat will make children's knowledge becomes narrower, and fear it will create a new generation more exploitative future. So, where the knowledges?
Demonstration of wildlife also should pay attention to how the natural behavior of these animals in the wild. At the time of the dolphin circus going on, not infrequently a dolphin forced to ride to the mainland as well as kissing or take pictures with visitors. This attraction includes dangerous because the dolphins have to withstand the weight of up to three times the weight. In addition, the case of a dolphin attacked a group photograph visitors also should be a lesson that a dolphin is naturally being in the wild, not in a circus ring. Various attractions are not showing the behavior of animals naturally is one form of degrading various animals on the human will.
Indonesia became the only state to legalize circus dolphins. Some non-profit organizations have protested to the government to stop the circus dolphins as duping the public and the exploitation of these animals. Circus performances of dolphins and various other animals do not convey the message of education at all related to conservation, do not respect animal welfare and even degrading of these animals. Moreover, the circus also harm dolphins mammals that became the main star and keep them away from their natural habitat. It is time for the government and we as a society strongly reject all forms of animal exploitation that does not highlight the educational side like this for the welfare of the dolphins so that they do not quickly become extinct in the future.
