| quote: | Two dolphins who died a slow, agonising death at a zoo after it hosted a rave were probably killed by a party-goer's heroin substitute, according to a leaked toxicology report.
The dolphins, called Shadow and Chelmers, died within five days of each other at a zoo in Switzerland last November.
Bosses at the park had rented land near the dolphins' training pool to organisers of a weekend rave party for thousands of clubbers.
...
Furious animal activists say they warned both the marine park and local planners - who gave permission for the rave - of the dangers before the event.
They had been concerned that the high levels of noise could damage the marine mammals' immune system, sensitive sonar and hearing.
Connyland has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

| quote: | Dutch marine biologist and dolphin expert Cornelis van Elk said: 'Opiates are extremely dangerous for underwater mammals and would never be used in any legitimate treatment.
'The reason is that dolphins are conscious breathers which means they actively decide when to come to the surface to breathe, for which they need to be awake.
'Even when sleeping, there is part of the brain that automatically controls the breathing instinct in the same way as it does for people when asleep.
'Drugging them with opiates could well cause this part of the brain to switch off with fatal consequences.' |
That makes sense.
There is a rave next to the zoo I visit often with my children. Didn't miss some animals after the rave at the castle's garden next door last year, but then again, the zoo doesn't have dolphins.
Still very sad, a rave indeed should not be at a Zoo. You don't need a lot of imagination the see with will cause at least a lot of stress to the animals. |
