Never has there been more need for ending the breeding and trade of captive dolphins and whales. The Dolphinaria-Free Europe policy brief “Safe and Thriving Whales and Dolphins in the European Union – a How-To Guide” outlines the coalition’s legislative proposals to the European Union for ensuring the wellbeing of all captive whales and dolphins in the EU. The coalition also addresses conditions in which cetaceans are currently held throughout Europe. DFE believes it’s vital that the EU embark upon a plan to phase out dolphinaria, and that the current population of captive cetaceans should be the last generation in the EU.
