Are the Dolphins Smiling or Crying?
      “Hello! We’re so HAPPY to live here. The Ocean Park is our new HOME.”
      “The workers and trainers here are our FAMILY.”
       Have you ever seen or heard of the two sentences above? Watching dolphin shows in ocean parkshas been popular in Taiwan and other Asian countries. People think the dolphins look lovely andfriendly. But we need to think about some terrible facts.
       First, where do the dolphins come from? It is surprising to know that some ocean parks get thedolphins in a secret way. For example, they buy the dolphins at a lower price from dishonest fishermen.They catch, kill, and sell the dolphins without following the government rules.
      Second, dolphins show more and more strange behaviors because they get so bored to live in thesmall pools in the ocean parks. They hurt their teeth by hitting the walls or biting the hard rocks. Then,they get sick easily because of their bleeding teeth.
      All in all, it’s time for us to find out some scary truth behind the animal shows. If they belong tothe ocean, how can they live happily and healthily in the ocean parks, which we call “home”?
