"There is about as much educational benefit to be gained in studying dolphins in captivity as there would be studying mankind by only observing prisoners held in solitary confinement." Jacques-Yves Cousteau

"As the dolphin becomes just another victim of humanity's utilitarian attitudes towards the Earth, it seems as though the ancient friendship between our respective species is no longer entirely reciprocal. Such exploitation is nowhere more evident than in the capture and display of cetaceans for profit. Stripped of their natural identity, deprived of their own culture and environment, the dolphin and whale incarcerated within the oceanarium not only symbolizes an abuse of that ancient relationship, but above all our estrangement from nature as a whole." Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan
A very cool shot by Diderik Huisman. Here’s what he said about: “With this young male I swam for two hours non-stop. He kept on turning, spyhopping and swimming very slowly around me, allowing me to take pictures from many angles. In this shot the young whale seemed to smile inquisitively as he approached me, his eye looking at me with an almost child-like naughtiness” |
