This was a great informative video. However the Orcas being as big as they are and knowing how far they can travel I would rather them be out in the seas. Thanks Dave.

I’m due to go over the next few days, are you able to advise what the noise level was like on the show? I have noise sensitivity and find it difficult when noise gets above 90-95 decibels.

[@MrTravelONWorld]

Can get noisy with crowd but nothing major

I enjoy your channel, particularly the weather updates in the sunny Canary Islands. As for the content of this video… Captivity.. in particular dolphins. Research the reality of these dolphins (cetaceans). It is one of the cruelest money making businesses I have ever witnessed. Many years ago I became aware of the cruelty involved in the capturing, training and keeping of these intelligent animals. I ended up travelling to Taiji, Japan where most of these dolphins are captured. Each morning between September 1st & March 1st a fleet of hunting boats leave the small harbour of Taiji (Taiji itself is a sleepy town approximately 3 hours drive South of Osaka). These boats then search for pods of dolphins which are swimming along the coast. The hunters use sound to disorientate the dolphins , using metal poles tied to the side of the boats which have one end beneath the surface of the water’s surface. The hunters bang hammers against these metal poles creating sound waves in the water. This ‘wall of sound’ confuses the dolphins and causes them to become disorientated. The hunting boats then ‘drive’ the dolphin pod into what’s known as ‘The Cove’ where the dolphins are trapped using nets. The older dolphins are killed in a brutal manner while the ‘young pretty’ dolphins are taken captive. They’re then starved and over a period of several months while confined to small enclosures in the harbour are trained to respond to instructions in exchange for food. They are subsequently sold to places that this video discusses. There is ZERO rehabilitation. There is ZERO rescuing etc. Those phrases are used to make the paying public think that they are supporting an animal rescue business. You’re not contributing to any rescue. What you’re contributing to is abhorrent cruelty. Taking a wild animal from the sea, killing its family members within the pod, starving it until it reacts positively to ‘training’ and then forcing it to ‘exist’ in a tiny tank for the rest of its miserable life. All so that these businesses can make profits. As stated, I’ve personally travelled to Taiji, Japan and witnessed first hand the daily hunts and capturing/killing of these intelligent animals. PLEASE do not support this cruelty. For more information watch the following documentary ’The Cove’, a documentary which won an Oscar several years ago as it highlighted what’s behind these businesses. (Available on Apple TV and can be found on eg KZbin). NETFLIX: Blackfish KZbin: PSA my friend is. KZbin: Dolphins Taiji. KZbin: Ric O’ Barry Taiji dolphins. KZbin: Taiji the dolphin hunts Steve Backshall KZbin: Dolphin project Taiji READ: Behind the dolphins smile by Richard O Barry. Wikipedia: Taiji dolphin drive hunt. Thanks for reading. Support genuine rescue and rehabilitation, not cruelty. 👍🏻

No reading sorry gave you an OUT 1st minute of the video

[@lauriekline178]

If it’s so abhorrent, then why would you travel to Japan to watch it first hand. So just pat yourself on the back. There’s a right way to get your point across, and you didn’t do it right.

There are so many zoos where they have dolphins in much smaller tanks than loro parque so you should comment this under more cruel zoos especially, and also the creator of this video said at the beginning of the video that if youre sensitive to these kind of videos just leave before watching it. And I personally find the way cows are held for milking and baby cows killed at young age for meat much more cruel than this but theres still many more people around the world eating meat and drinking milk that loro parque visitors, so maybe you should go force veganism on people instead of this. The dolphins here at least are not stacked next to each other and forced to be pregnant standing there being milked daily until they die. Same with pigs actually. I personally read what you wrote and it is definitely awful but not as awful as the animals that we eat on a daily basis are treated. Also going to loro parque is a once or twice in a lifetime thing, unlike eating meat and consuming milk and bacon. I loved the video and will visit once in my life for sure.

[@PabloChoto]

Oh and also, loro parque and siam park are owned by the same company… so basically you should also tell people not to visit the waterpark ¨siam park¨ either… I will visit siam park this year and if i like it i will go again next year and the year after that

[@poulolsen9053]

A terrible place. It's easy to make a nice video about the park, but it's hell when there are too many visitors. They let way too many people into the park.
