![]() The Ten Worst Tanks list is created and ranked by what each entry represents. Facilities were assessed in-person, through review of government and veterinary records and death reports, and via image and data documentation. How does In Defense of Animals determine which facilities make the list?Ĭetacean experts and scientists worked with In Defense of Animals for over a year to create the Ten Worst Tanks list. The Ten Worst Tanks list exposes and represents the misery and suffering of some of the oceans' most intelligent, far-ranging, and complex mammals in captivity. Entries were selected from over 60 facilities from North America where nearly 1,000 whales and dolphins are held captive for public display from Canada to Mexico. The purpose of the Ten Worst Tanks list is to raise awareness of the inescapable cruelty of captivity and also to expose how public display of captive cetaceans fails to educate and conserve populations in the wild.įollowing in the footsteps of In Defense of Animals' esteemed Ten Worst Zoos for Elephants list (now in its 12th year), Ten Worst Tanks represents the diverse and myriad ways cetaceans suffer in captivity, even in the most modern facilities. In Defense of Animals, along with a growing number of scientists and specialists, sees no empirical justification for keeping cetaceans in captivity and on public display. Unnatural conditions often condemn these highly intelligent, sentient mammals to lifetimes of deprivation, suffering, and early death. The plight of imprisoned dolphins and whales (cetaceans) is one of the worst disgraces of our era. ![]() This is In Defense of Animals' first-ever list of the Ten Worst Tanks for Dolphins and Whales in North America.
