The Loro Parque is very beautiful but orcas or dolphines should not live in such a park!:smack:

Yeah i understand your point, but for me exactly this shows make it even more worse. Animals are not there to do tricks. This show me that Loro Parque is not a park which is interested in species conservation. NO. They want to earn only Money by artistic shows. Maybe it is funny to see dolphines jumping through a ring but this could never be adequate animal housing.

The Loro Parque is a great day out for all the family, but be aware that to buy snacks there is expensive, so take food with you, also be aware that the Gorillas do throw objects at you as they do in the wild, the only way to describe what they throw is....POO!:eek:
