Poll: Government bans swimming with dolphins - is this the right move?
Hi neighbours - tourists can no longer swim with Bottlenose dolphins in the Bay of Islands after research found people are "loving them too much and affecting their behaviour".
Have you swam with dolphins before? Is this ban the right move?
-
58.5% Absolutely - humans disrupt their natural behaviour
-
24.6% No - I think this ban is a real shame
-
16.9% There should just be more restrictions
