SINGAPORE – The video showing a dolphin repeatedly ramming its head against the wall of a tank it was kept in, purportedly at Resorts World Sentosa’s (RWS) S.E.A. Aquarium, was taken by a member of the public last year.
It was then sent to Empty The Tanks, a United States-based organisation focused on ending dolphin and whale captivity.
The organisation’s founder Rachel Carbary told The Straits Times on Thursday (Dec 5) that someone sent the organisation the video a day after he visited the S.E.A. Aquarium last year.
The dolphins at the resort can be viewed in their habitat at Dolphin Island via a glass panel.
Said Ms Carbary: “During his visit, he witnessed the disturbing dolphin behaviour seen in the video and chose to record it.
“We have shared this video on social media in the hopes of bringing more attention to the plight of these sentient animals that continue to suffer in captivity.”
It has garnered more than 240,000 views and 1.9k shares since it was posted by Empty The Tanks on its Facebook page on Sunday.
