Barcelona – first city in Europe to declare itself officially free of cetaceans in captivity.

The City Council will no longer allow new facilities to be built or additional cetaceans to be imported for public display. With regards to the dolphins currently held at Barcelona zoo, it is hoped the marine mammals will be relocated to a sanctuary as soon as possible.

Congratulations to our member FAADA who helped bring about this fantastic achievement.
