A world-renowned animal expert is jumping into a heated debate over whether the Vancouver Aquarium should keep whales and dolphins in captivity.
Dr. Jane Goodall, one of the world's leading primate experts, has sent a letter to the Vancouver Park Board calling for the popular attraction to phase out its practice of keeping and breeding cetaceans at the Stanley Park facility.
"Belugas, dolphins and porpoises are highly social animals which can travel in large pods and migrate long distances," reads the May 13 letter. "In captivity, these highly vocal and complex communicators are forced to live in a low-sensory environment, which is unable to fully meet the needs of their physical and emotional worlds."
