1. That's one of the worst things Cuba does--captures wild dolphins to be sold into slavery

around the world. I'm glad they're evacuating them, but they shouldn't have them in the first place. The 2 biggest sources for captive dolphins worldwide are Cuba & the dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan.

My husband talks about us visiting there someday. After learning this, we two animal rights activists won't be traveling there.

3. The dolphins should have been set free, if they want to return after Irma, that is their choice

The people are the real animals
