Swimming with dolphins

The popularity of swimming with dolphins and other interactions with dolphins has greatly increased in the 1980s and 1990s[1] due to the satisfaction and learning that human beings experience while swimming with dolphins. This activity may help to treat depression in humans.[2]
There has been a proliferation of privately owned, for-profit dolphinariums (aquariums having mostly dolphins) around the world despite the controversy around this activity, which has yet to be fully legalized by the law.[3][4] The continuous popularity of dolphins in the 1960s resulted in the appearance of many dolphinariums[5] around the world. Though criticism and more strict animal welfare laws have forced many dolphinariums to close their doors, hundreds still exist around the world attracting a large number of visitors. These institutions are frequently the object of severe opposition from animal rights groups, particularly when poor conditions cause the loss of animals,[6][7] and when the dolphins are sourced from wild-caught populations such as the dolphin fishery of Taiji, Japan.[8] The risks associated with interaction with dolphins include injury to humans and injury, stress and death of the dolphins involved.[1]
