Dubai Dolphinarium background
Plans for a dolphinarium in Dubai were announced in 2005, and caused some discontent amongst residents who pointed out that any form of keeping dolphins in captivity was undesirable. The Dubai Municipality said that the Dubai Dolphinarium would provide comfortable facilities for the resident dolphins and carried on with their plans. A petition was started to attempt to dissuade the Dubai Municipality from building the dolphinarium but it went ahead anyway. The first bottle-nosed dolphin moved into the dolphinarium from apparently unsatisfactory conditions in a dolphinarium in the Ukraine.
