Captivity
It is the position of Cetacean Society International that it is no longer
justifiable for cetaceans to be captured or maintained in captivity for
purposes of exhibition, research or education. There exists a moral
imperative for cetaceans in captivity to be maintained in optimal conditions
for their physical and social well-being and for efforts to be made for their
rehabilitation and release.
CSI has published a flyer on cetaceans in captivity.
