English Essay : "Dolphin better in Captivity than in Original Habitat"

A beautiful sight if you see dolphins swimming in the open sea. These animals one of clever mammals. Natural systems that complement the body are very complex, making a lot of technology inspired by this animal. For example, the skin of dolphins, this can reduce water friction so that the dolphins can swim with a little water resistance, so that the swimmer swimsuit designing like dolphin skin. There is also a system they are used for communicating and receiving excitatory called sonar. This system makes the dolphins to escape from foreign objects that are in front of them so as to avoid collision. And even then the system is used in the manufacture of submarine radar.

The dolphins live in the sea and rivers in the world. They are mammals. Dolphins belong to the kingdom Animalia, chordate phylum, class mammals, cetaceans his order, upaordo Odontoceti, and the family Delphinidae. There are over 40 types of dolphins.

The skill of Dolphin makes them able to help humans. Even if they have been trained, they can break through the fire circle. However, wild dolphins haven’t been able to do attractions, like trained dolphins.

This skill can be put to good use, but some are abusing. The dolphins are supposed to live in their habitat, but now many places that maintain captive dolphins and use it for tourism purposes.

Have you actually ever watched the dolphin circus? If I want to see the attraction in a circus instead of trapping an animal, it will be interesting and challenging to see immediate action on the high seas because that is where it came from. Dolphins aren't from the captivity but from sea, captured by people who are only concerned with their lives.

This clever animals are forced to enter into nets and taken into captivity, trained, and made ​​a circus animal or can be sold for the benefit of man.

How humans catch this animal, for example nets off in the ocean by fishermen, then they make sound noisier so the dolphins are caught in traps and will be brought to the beach. Because of Sensitivity to sound, so they swim so fast as possible to avoid the ship. The net make dolphin can’t swim out from the beach to the sea. Furthermore, one by one dolphin checked and dragged to the edge of the beach and forced into captivity to become an animal circus.

Not to mention if it is moved from the sea to captivity should use the aircraft. High pressure of air can result in death for dolphins, because dolphins have hearing much of human hearing. The dolphins will be stressed with the high pressure sound.

When these cute animals are sent, they put butter and wrapped in a wet cloth to dampen dolphin’s body. What the pity if dolphin treated as such.

Moreover, if the dolphins can survive from the delivery process, the dolphins will be kept in a pool. The rate of dolphins will get stress or be in danger of dying bigger. In the pool able to bacterial infection, even a lot of annoying noise. Or commonly dolphin swim up to 40 miles per day, but now minimized by the size of the pool is not greater than its natural habitat. It causes limitations to swim and cut down the dolphin’s life. Usually live up to 50 years, but if in captivity could be just 5 years.

Unfortunate if it happens the dolphins are threatened with extinction. Ric Barry O'Feldman better known by the name of Ric O'Barry, a former dolphin trainer for Hollywood films say that captivity isn’t the best answer from the survival of the dolphins. "You should see the dolphins in nature to understand that captivity isn't the answer" Said O'Baary in discussions "Wildlife Protection Series - Dolphins." In Jakarta, Tuesday (5/2).

In the open ocean, the dolphins swim up for kilometers, socialize and surf, but the container circus or amusement park; they will become stressed and short-lived, as already described above. They will be physically damaged by chlorine burns their eyes and skin. Conditions will be better if the original habitat in the pool compared captivity, because their immune systems will decline. Even to do research on dolphins when they are not in the pool, but the data would be more valid if done in the wild.

We have to be smart and don’t misrepresent the look of a dolphin that is always smiling and cheerful because not all look really shown what they are feeling. The skill of dolphin makes them able to feel something that isn’t in accordance with their wishes.

According to Bossart et al. (200 ) Atlantic ocean dolphins have million/mm3 red cell count from 2.9 to 5.4 , hemoglobin levels of 12.4 to 15.4 g % and hematocrit value of 36.2 to 51 %.

When compared with the data, the dolphin in the Java Sea before breeding was still in the same range. Having been placed in captivity, dolphins have a red cell count, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit value higher if it is compared with the data.

If only dolphins could speak to a human, would he have said the tormenting him with the man who is only concerned with the treatment of their lives. Even if the dolphins should be in captivity because they are sick or injured, but after recovery should be at release again into the sea.

In the pool they lived like in the jail. Sometimes, their freedom is still on hold. If human freedom in the bridle, that violate human rights and the sovereignty of God. It should also dolphins should be given the right to live freely, because they are also God's creation of animals.

In Indonesia , laws protecting dolphins is Law No. 5 of 1990 on Conservation of Natural Resources and Ecosystems and followed by Government Regulation No. 7 of 1999 on the Preservation of Fauna and Flora , which in its attachment confirmed that Dolphin are marine mammals that are protected by the Act .

Decree of Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation No. S.297/IV-KKH/2013, dated June 19, 2013, on enhancing the management of the core dolphin show is not performed, limited only be the letter sheet. Traveling circus dolphins remain in operation in several major cities and even launched a new program at the end of the bus traveling dolphin species should be immediately addressed.

To see how great God created dolphins through a better look at it naturally in the open sea, when they have fun with their herd or the man himself, it will be more beautiful and enjoyable. There is no stress or pressure on the dolphins. We will feel more comforted by it.

Perhaps the maker’s captive dolphins remain in their opinions about the dolphins in their place rather than in the open sea. It was because of their humanitarian attitude of selfishness for example they appear. Though they place should not undue.

Don’t let the animals are clever, kind, funny and unique left continuous stress so short-lived and lead to extinction. Stop to make a dolphin as circus animals. Remove them from the pool and release all the appropriate places, so that their faces were always cheerful cheerfulness really describe them. And stop behaving like a man who does not have knowledge of, and reason.
