I'm kinda torn.
On one hand, its more thrilling, far more so than seeing pandas,
to see marine wild-life.
On the other hand, we can just snorkel or something, and we
should in fact. Given that we can go see them, rather than the
other way!
I wonder what the govt will say.
Most probably nothing, but I wonder nonetheless.
The only rule you need to remember is this: does it make
money that we can tax? That will lead you to the answer.
I understadn the thrill, because they're intelligent creatures -
but that's also why they are not suited to captivity. If you
calculate the size of the aquarium using the volume that RWS gives,
it's actually pretty small, shallow and miniscule compared to a
dolphin's natural range.
