Attractions that keep whales, dolphins or porpoises captive won't be able to sell tickets through TripAdvisor anymore, though there's an exception for 'seaside sanctuaries.'
TripAdvisor, one of the world’s most popular travel sites, plans to stop selling tickets to any attraction or destination that holds whales, dolphins or porpoises for public display.
“Whales and dolphins do not thrive in limited captive environments, and we hope to see a future where they live as they should: free and in the wild,” Dermot Halpin, president of TripAdvisor’s experiences and rentals, said in a statement. “We believe the current generation of whales and dolphins in captivity should be the last, and we look forward to seeing this position adopted more widely throughout the travel industry.
He added that “regardless of TripAdvisor’s position, SeaWorld will continue to advance education and animal conservation efforts along with our millions of supporters, professional scientists and other science-based organizations around the world.”
