Cant hate news like this enough. Maybe someday things will change.

Not sure which is worse, this or being killed on the high seas.
I guess it's better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

And how do you know if it's sad??, they have a good life and they will never lack food, at least they won't die from hunters or other predators, they will have a long and peaceful life, cut the drama..

Bottlenose not panda, about which relatively little seems to be known, but:
The average survival time in captivity for all bottlenose dolphin individuals who lived more than one year is 12 years, 9 months and 8 days – much lower than the wild where they live to between 30 and 50 years.
Dolphins who were captured from the wild survived for longer in captivity than those that were born into captivity.
52.26% of bottlenose dolphins successfully born in captivity do not survive past one year – a higher mortality rate than in the wild.

Freedom, or lifelong confinement in a tank - which would you choose?

Aquariums are evil

For mammals you bet. Dumb fish don’t care.
If aquariums are evil, what about zoos?
