Marine Park Under Investigation Amid Animal Welfare Allegations

Florida's Gulf World Marine Park faces scrutiny after several dolphin deaths raise animal abuse concerns.


Authorities are investigating Gulf World Marine Park in Florida over troubling allegations of animal abuse, following the deaths of four dolphins this past year. In October, three dolphins tragically passed away, a situation exacerbated by disturbing footage of the park's deteriorating conditions. Activists claim dolphins are being kept in murky water, leading to further alarm from animal rights organizations.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has taken a firm stand against animal cruelty, stating he would not tolerate any abuses. This crackdown is a response to a search warrant executed by the Florida's Department of Law Enforcement in conjunction with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) after reports indicated the park's management allegedly obstructed checks on the dolphins.

Local media has reported that one dolphin hit its head in a shallow pool while performing tricks, raising questions about the conditions of captivity at the park. The Dolphin Company's website states that the facility houses various marine and land species, including bottlenose dolphins and sea lions.

UrgentSeas, an animal welfare group, has provided alarming insights into the state of the park. Director Phil Demers expressed deep concern over the livelihoods of the animals and their continued captivity amid worsening conditions. UrgentSeas has pledged to keep documenting and advocating for their rescue until appropriate measures are taken.
