A big issue with the dolphins is that you can’t just release them. I agree that they should be phased out but dolphins can still more or less be kept happy and stimulated if done well. (still not the same as in the wild but well we also keep dogs on a leash to keep us company)
There’s also an educational part about it. Because of these dolphin shows and movies with them they are perceived as cute, smart and happy so hunting them is frowned upon. If people had never seen a dolphin in real life or in a movie they would just be big fish to people and they would still be massively hunted.
What saddens me even more are the killer whales kept in captivity. There have been cases where they just killed themselves out of boredom/depression/… They also routinely hurt each other and there’s not a single tank in the world that can keep them in an animal friendly way.
One of my math teachers explained it exactly like this. ‘For the people who know how to program: this is the same as using a for loop’.

Weird, it works for me. Maybe this link works: https://lemmy.world/c/neuro

I don’t think there’s anything fundamentally wrong with eugenics. Screening for genetic diseases before birth is eugenics, selecting the best embryos for ivf is eugenics. Believing that people with severe genetic disabilities should be counseled before conceiving is eugenics as well.
The issue is the way it’s done and the reason for it.
