Etter at sekvenser som ble filmet på et sirkus i den populære feriebyen Tangarang ble lagt ut på sosiale medier har dyrevenner verden over rast. Bildene viser blant annet hvordan delfiner tvinges opp på land, slik at turister kan ta «selfies». Dette mener dyrevernsorganisasjonen Movement to End Animal Circuses er skadelig.
Nå henger flere dyrevenner seg på, og krever at regjeringen forbyr behandlingen, rapporterer NY Post.
To delfiner ligger på magen på gulvet ved siden av et basseng. Der ligger de slik at turister kan ta bilder av og med dem, og røre dem. Men dette er både smertelig og farlig for delfinene, mener Movement to End Animal Circuses, som filmet fra populære Tangarang i Indonesia.
«Delfinene tvinges opp av vannet så besøkere kan ta på dem. Det kan skade delfinene. Deres følsomme hud dras mot gulvet», skriver organisasjonen på sin Facebookside.
Har det ikke bra når de dras opp av vannet
Naomi Rose, spesialist på pattedyr som lever i havet, ved Animal Welfare Institute, mener delfinene har det dårlig når de ikke er i vann. De blir stresset når de tas vekk fra sitt naturlige miljø.
Krever at regjeringen sier stopp
Gjennom å spre avslørende videoer og bilder på sosiale medier håper dyrevernsorganisasjonen at flere skal støtte dem i å kreve at regjeringen stopper behandlingen av delfinene.
Look at the scores of children and adults queuing for a photo with a dolphin
Look at the scores of children and adults queuing for a photo with two dolphins which is out of the pool. This circus is the property of Wersut Seguni Indonesia. Being out of water for a long time can hurt dolphins physically and psychologically.The video footage taken on December 9 in TangerangPlease stand with us in protesting against animal performances in Indonesia.

We stand against wildlife attractions for the sake of entertainment rather than education. These attractions are a form of animal abuse and exploitation.Animal trainers and showmen frequently engage in negative reinforcement, whipping and striking animals, forcing them to carry out unnatural tricks and demonstrating that the animals can only be “controlled” by pain and fear.Performance in the presence of spectators are likely to cause severe stress to captive wild animals. Loud noise is a well-known stressor; acoustical stress within and outside the human hearing range can cause critical alteration in physiological parameters for captive animals.Animals are often housed in small, barren enclosures and released from their confinement only for a few minutes during their performance and for training sessions. Stress caused by such conditions can cause severe behavioural and physiological problems for captive wild animals.Even worse, society, in particular, children, become desensitised to animal suffering. Minister, all this leads to a negative international image of Indonesia, with tourists returning to their home countries reporting cases of animal abuse rather than highlighting the natural beauty and the rich cultural experiences which Indonesia is so famous for.I am appealing to you, Minister, to join the international movement against the use and abuse of animals in performances, and to pass and enforce laws ending animal shows in captive wildlife facilities. Please take action on behalf of animals, who cannot fend for themselves. Thank you
