Should Dolphins Be Taken From Their Natural Habitat? by Peter

Should Dolphins Be Taken From Their Natural
Habitat?

My answer is no, why?  The reason is dolphins only have
specific feeding times and specific food but in the wild,
dolphins have the freedom to eat anything, anytime.

My second reason is that dolphins are forced to do tricks
for humans-it gives the dolphins a lot of anxiety, pressure
and stress.

Another reason is that dolphins will get very bored in a
blank aquarium.  A suggestion to those who don’t agree
with me should at least tell SeaLife to give a bit more
decoration to the aquariums.

Next reason is that they have no friends, just think about
it-a life without family or friends and being forced to act
for strangers, imagine that.

My 5th reason is that dolphins don’t have the freedom to
roam in those little tanks, it could be a big tank but they
would need to swim in circles every day but if they are in
the wild they can swim with freedom and they will think,
“I love freedom!”

6th reason here we go!  This one is because that dolphins
get excess chlorine because of the chlorine in the pool which
gives skin illness and that means that the dolphins have
only a short lifespan of only about half the time in the wild.

Next reason is that the breeding in the aquariums is hard so

the keepers have to keep on capturing the dolphins from the
wild, this is reducing the number of dolphins in the wild and
later there could be no dolphins at all!

8th reason-Don’t put dolphins in captivity, it’s not nice.

Should Dolphins Be Taken From Their Natural Homes by Cassie

 In my opinion,  dolphins shouldn't be taken from their natural habitats. 

In an aquarium there isn’t a lot of space, and it’s really boring to swim
around in circles. In the clear ocean water, they can swim as far as they
like. 

In dolphin shows, they sometimes get hit in training, if they don’t do it
properly. I think that's just cruel, dolphins have feelings too. 

Also, if they take the dolphins away from the sea, into Sea World and
Kelly Tarltons, it would be like taking YOU away from home, to another
random place to live. That would make you feel lonely and sad.

Instead of taking dolphins away for people to view, you could go on a
ferry and you might see dolphins playfully jumping out of the water and
scientists would be able to see dolphins in their natural habitat, not in a
squishy little aquarium.  

Dolphins shouldn’t be taken from their homes, stuck in a tiny little
aquarium makes them bored, and they also don’t have freedom. It’s like
being stuck in a small room for your entire life.

If you are about to put a dolphin in an aquarium since you are a scientist,
you might want to reconsider.

Should Dolphins Be Taken From Their Natural Homes by Arlo

Should Dolphins Be Taken From Their Natural Homes?

In my opinion I think they should because…

1.  They could get trapped in fishing nets if they were out
in the wild.

2.  If they were in the wild and got hurt no one would know
but if they were in an aquarium people would know and get
help.

3.  If people were going to get dolphins and put them in an
aquarium the best  way to get them would be to get them
in a school so they can be with their family.

4.  If someone wanted to study dolphins and get more
information about them, they would probably have to kill
them but if they were at an aquarium it would be easier
to study them.

Sienna's Buzzy Description of our Class

Buzzy Room 18

Room 18 is like a bunch of bees producing rich golden honey, then repeating
our hard work again. It gets easier and easier as we go because our Queen
Bee (Mrs Morris) and her helper bee (Mrs Medland)  helps us produce it. In our
busy hive we have 16 busy girl bees and 14 busy boy bees.

I am Sienna and I have lots of friends. They are: Jade, Jessica, Kaya, Caprice,
Toia, Sophia, Sammy, Alice, Cassie, Sonia, Jing, Emily, Natasha and Bella.

My favourite subjects at school are: Reading, Writing, Art, Handwriting and
Word study.

Every day we hand out CFBG cards (CFBG cards also means Caught For
Being Good). We also have News, Reading, SSR and so much more.

At our School we have GEMS (which means Growth, Empathy, Mana and
Self-belief).

Our class is the best and the busiest class in this school! We are a class that
loves to share and that will continue to do so.
