Dolphins suffer during transport

The dolphins organism is adapted to swim in the water and does not support the body weight. Dolphins are not accustomed to the efect of gravity. The sudden pressure of their own body weight over their inner organs does cause stress and suffering.

Dolphins are very well adapted against temperature loss in the water. If not permanently cooled they may die from internal overheating during transport. There are many cases reported of dolphins dying durig aerial and terrestrial transport.

When ariving in the final destination the animals suffer permanent and painfull cramps all over their body. They are incapable to move and it is widely known that they have to be held by humans close to the surace of he water in order to avoid drowning, while providig them with masages.
