近日,一段海豚不斷撞牆的視頻在網上遭瘋傳,引起大家廣泛關注。短短幾天,視頻就有將近25萬次觀看,上千次轉載。從視頻中,我們可以看到一只寬吻海豚多次用頭部撞擊圈地內的牆上,看上去行爲怪異。視頻疑似拍攝于新加坡聖淘沙名勝世界內的S.E.A海洋館內:

不過,當國家公園局派人到名勝世界視察後,發現這裏的海豚並沒什麽異樣。新加坡眼咨詢了名勝世界,他們給出以下答複: We are uncertain of the source of the video but we can share some natural behaviourial traits of dolphins. Dolphins have a natural curiosity about people and their surroundings. They are also very social and enjoy playing with other dolphins. At Dolphin Island, we allow our dolphins to swim on their own or in groups at different timings where they can explore and interact with one another in our large interconnecting lagoons which can be differently reconfigured to encourage play and socialisation. As part of their natural behaviour, they communicate with each other through echolocation, making high-pitched clicking sounds and other playful actions such as nudging objects using their rostrums to attract attention. Dolphin Island is accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA), and we are committed to providing the highest level of husbandry and veterinary care for our marine mammals.我們不確定視頻來源,但是可以跟大家分享一些海豚天然的行爲特征。海豚對人和周圍的環境天生充滿好奇。它們也很喜歡社交和與其他海豚一起玩。在海豚島,我們會讓海豚在不同的時間獨自或成群遊泳,以便它們探索相互連接的大型瀉湖。而瀉湖也能進行調整,鼓勵它們嬉戲和社交。作爲天然行爲的一部分,它們也會通過回音、發出高頻的聲音,或是利用它們的喙輕敲物體來溝通或吸引注意。海豚島景點獲得動物園與水族館協會以及世界動物園和水族館聯合會的認證,我們一直以來都致力于爲園區內的海洋哺乳動物提供“最高水平的畜牧和獸醫護理”。 看到這幅場景,許多網友感到十分心碎,大家紛紛呼籲人們不要爲了娛樂傷害無辜的生命。“它已經慢慢地發瘋了。我在海洋世界看過類似情況。一只北極熊不停地左右搖頭。我問北極熊的馴養員,她說這完全正常,但我知道它已經發瘋了。海洋世界和其他類似的景點需要徹底被廢除。”
“我的心都碎了。不管我發表多少關于海豚被囚禁和折磨的帖子,我的朋友圈還不斷有人發他們和海豚的自拍照。這讓我非常生氣。他們自私地只想要在社交媒體上得到關注,不顧及這些無辜的生命。我鄙視人類。”
“什麽時候囚禁這些美麗的動物才能停止……帶您的孩子去潛水,教他們熱愛海洋和海洋裏的生命。告訴他們這些生物應該在海洋裏暢遊,而不是被關在小小的籠子裏被人類當成消遣娛樂。”
