Activists held a vigil outside the Vancouver Aquarium Saturday afternoon, using the recent death of Spinnaker the dolphin to protest all forms of captivity.
Annelise Sorg with No Whales in Captivity doesn’t buy the argument that Spinnaker would’ve died had he not been rescued from a fishing net off Japan.
“Whales and dolphins need to stop being kept in captivity, no matter what! If there is some sort of rescue necessary – off our coast! Not off the coast of Japan.”
Spinnaker arrived at the aquarium in 2001.
The cause of death remains unknown.
