  1. This is hideous! Now they are planning to disturb the poor dolphins at night. Education? No way. This is exploitation of sentinent animals. Enough is enough. It’s time for them to go to a sea pen, so they can live their retirement at peace. Empty the tanks, now. Close that seajail forever. You are despicable Miami Seaquarium. What this place is doing is animal cruelty.

  2. This is unacceptable. Incredibly intelligent mammals should not be forced to entertain their human visitors. Miami Seaqurium is disgraceful for continuing to promote captivity especially after the amounting evidence that it is destructive for the animal. End dolphin captivity!

  3. The Seaquarium is shameless. Not content to exploit dolphins just during the day, it now wants to disrupt their off hours and cash in there, too.

  4. As if Abusing Dolphins 8 hrs daily is not enough Miami Seaquarium you’re planning sleepovers is just plain wrong ..why not organize dolphin watching tours and sell tickets that way seeing them in the wild ….because Captivity is not ok at all….chlorine starved for food for tricks missing their families …forced to perform ….yuck yuck yuck we’d all buy dolphin watching boat tours though

  5. Despicable cruelty, these dolphins are not forour entertainment. This is out dated and my country UK has banned it, , close these places of horror down.

  6. They are not pets and they aren’t entertainment. Let them live their lives with their own families (pods), in peace without the blaring music and humans always pestering them. They aren’t smiling at you!

  7. No, no, 1,000 times no! As if their world isn’t grim enough, now even their “off” hours are all about entertaining the public? The Seaquarium is desperate, but the tide has forever turned: Animals are not ours to use like this. Period.

  8. So now these captive animals won’t even get a moment of privacy, peace, and quiet at night? What a shameful attempt to squeeze more profits out of them.

  9. So now the dolphins are going to have to entertain tourists all night too instead of just all day. People are turning their backs on marine mammal captivity. This decision is going in the wrong direction.
