In truth Sea World rescues more animals in the wild, chiefly from strandings, than all animal advocacy groups combined. Also forgotten is that Sea World does not capture dolphins or whales from the wild, and that the much maligned Shedd Aquarium is involved in breeding, maintaining, and restoring more than 100 species of African fresh-water fish called cichlids. The truth is that the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas holds animals rescued from inferior facilities. Many of the Mirage dolphins were at one time cruelly abused. No expense is spared now to give them the best care available. They are not forced to perform. In addition, some 60,000 schoolchildren a year from the state of Nevada see dolphins, and this has motivated thousands of children to be concerned about an animal they may never have thought about. - Paul Watson, 1999 seashepherd.org/ocean-realm/ocean_realm_sum99.html
