they should be free to do what the want
#first comment

(first one to comment yay!)
I think they should still be kept in a safe environment and still be bred, but have some freedom and be treated well and cared for.please tell me if you agree with my comment btw.

If it includes porpoises, then no. Simply for the sake of the Vaquita (which has about 30 animals left alive in the species.)

They shouldn't.

No, because people from charities and zoos might be breeding them to teach them and then set them free in the wild at an appropriate age. However, in cases when it isn't benefiting the species, such as SeaWorld, I think yes.

It's not good for animals to be bred in captivity.?

They have every right to live as us.They only kill because they do not know any better.They don't think like us.They eat to stay alive like every other animal.It's not their fault.

hey ezbez56! I was first to comment and I agree with shpee

Yes because what if we were forced to swim with strangers and be kept in a small tank with people looking at you.

No, because I LOVE swimming with dolphins.

I don't think they should be bred by humans because it would disrupt their natural lives

It would mean to ban breading those animals because the are very amazing animals and swimming with dolphins is fun

Swimming with dolphins is a wonderfull experience. And if it was banned here I would be soooooo sad. Especially since I've never got to do it yet. Anyone heard of dolphin tale? If you do, imagine what would happen to clearwater aquarium! They wouldn't be able to help dolphins who couldn't live in the wild!
Awful!????

i agree with you Radishes10

Although I think Dolphins and Killer Whales should be free to mate with whoever they want to and free to live how they choose, it is just as important, if the particular species is endangered, to breed and keep them away from the threat of extinction! I am unsure of which side to support because of this.

Animals are just like us, they need to roam free!!!

Remember that dolphins are living species and they should feel free and roam around and enjoy their life. They need to be in a safe environment and we must keep the dolphins species going.

If they are looked after in a place that is comfortable for the whales than no, it should not be banned.

vote yes. it is the right thing

If they do they might get extinct

Dolphins and whales kept in captivity should just be given bigger areas to live in. This way they will be happier and can still be bred

dolphins dont harm you they are so cute they will get endangered so im voting no

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I love dolphins and killer whales so defiantly nooooooooooo!

I'm against zoos and places like that( small aquariums, farms) and I think it is unfair that ALL animals (including dolphins and whales) should be bred in such small places.
imagine if we were stuck in small cramped spaces and were imprisoned forever-just watch free willy!

agree with alanah10

If they are being bred for conservation reasons, I guess that is different. People should be educated on the importance of preserving species. If they are being bred for conservation, it is the breeders and experts responsibility to keep them in proper conditions.

But if they are kept in captivity for human enjoyment and pleasure, that is unfair.

If we stop breeding them, they'll all be extinct! :'( :'(

I think that it is OK, as long as not too many killer whales and dolphins are breeded and kept in captivity

YES THEY SHOULD BE BANNED! #ILOVEANIMALS!#

It is unfair for the animals not to have the freedom they deserve.

I agree with radishes10

I don't want these animals to become extinct.

I think that if the animals are becoming extinct they should be bred so then the population will increase and then they should be able to be free.

no because it is just like saying that humans cant make a family

GIVE THEM FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/ yes it should be banned!

I said no because I think that they should be in the wild because there serposed to be wild animals.?

I don't think that breeding in captivity is necessarily bad, but it depends on what you are doing with the animals. If there is an endangered species, then it should be bred in captivity to keep it's species going, but animals shouldn't be treated cruelly.

It is cruel to breed animals in captivity as they may not want to

You may say it is fine for saving the species and I agree but for that people just need to make parts of the sea protected. Most bred in captivity are for shows and it is cruel.

They should be in the wild unless they are hurt

I kind of believe yes and no as if it was the law they may just start bringing in animals from outside endangering the species

We need to continue wisely breeding (prevent inbreeding) of endangered species to prevent them going extinct

It depends on how they are treated, I mean, it's humans causing climate change and all that so we need to help them, but treat them well.

Only if they're rare

I think yes because most big marine animals become depressed when in captivity and some die in captivity because of being away from freedom. I think they should be bred in a safe environment maybe once in a while and then let into a protected area of an ocean or sea so they are free and protected at the same time.

I agree with radishes10

Me too

# No beCaUse it iZ fun

No, that's crazy to think yes!

be NICE TO DOLPHINS

no because they choose to come over to you to be fed and everything. if we leave them alone they might die. plus its a good experience to brag about XD

I am a member of WDC so am against dolphin captivity. Dolphins shouldn’t be bred because their babies will just be born into a life of doing circus tricks for “entertainment”. No matter how big the tank it will never match how much room they have in the sea-100 miles per day compared to 1500 lengths back and forth in a tiny tank

Dolphins should be free!!! #enddolphincaptivity

It depends, people, doing that could get their numbers up and save them but people could then think that is was more OK to hurt them

I don't think that it should be banned globally, as some conservations actually save species.
