Endangered Dolphins

Besides their playful attitude and often friendly appearance that have made them popular in the human culture, dolphins are considered to be one of the most intelligent animals on earth. They have performed an important role in the human culture, for ancient Greeks they were a good omen for a smooth voyage.

Dolphins are aquatic mammals closely related to whales. They vary in size and are found on shallower seas. These animals are carnivores and their diet consists mostly on fish and squids. Delphinidae is the largest family in Cetacea and since dolphins have evolved about ten million years ago they are relatively recent.

Even though these amazing creatures are trained to be entertainers in numerous aquatic parks around the world they are famous for several debuts in the big screen. Dolphins are trained by militaries for various purposes and are used for animal assisted therapy to help with physiological and neurological problems such as autism, depression and Down syndrome.

Dolphins are wonderful and adorable animals that can be found in our country. Right now there is a company called Ocean Embassy who wants to take advantage of the situation. They are planning on starting to capture dolphins and sell them to aquatic parks and establish in a multimillionaire business, leaving them in captivity.

Sadly the corruption in our country is greater than our sensibility, the situation on dolphins is getting critical, and luckily there are some Panamanians that have created associations to prevent the harm against these adorable creatures. You can help by singing petitions and joining to environmental groups, this cruelty can be stopped is in our hands to take a course of action!
