    Sweet now close the one in Flagler beach FL too. Dolphins should not be captive.

      I’d just like to add the caveat that healthy dolphins should not be captive. That being said, we often rescue injured or sick dolphins, and while some can be released to the wild again, not all can. If treated responsibly, I see no reason why those animals who couldn’t be released also couldn’t live out their lives in an aquarium for the public to view and learn about.
