| Note: all our photographs of dolphins are of wild free-ranging dolphins in their natural environment. "Swim-with-dolphin" programs and resorts that offer "encounters" with captive and/or trained dolphins are increasingly popular. Typically, the dolphins held in captivity at these resorts suffer from stress, reduced life expectancy and extremely confined surroundings. Some photographers exploit these controlled circumstances for dolphin pictures of the sort seen in calendars and postcards (e.g., a bottlenose dolphin leaping perfectly in front of a tropical sunset). Come on folks, life is too short to be spent supporting these pitiful imitations of a wild dolphin's world. The captivity of dolphins for the mere entertainment of resort-going tourists and the pursuit of photos is, frankly, pretty sad. |
