Water in Yerevan Nemo Dolphinarium Chlorinated Water and Dolphins Feeling Bad

'I visited the dolphinarium in 2011, and now it's March 2012. Much has changed. In the dolphinarium you can feel the strong smell of the chlorine, which was not sensitive earlier.  One of the dolphins couldn't fulfil the orders of the trainer...The animals have to give 4 shows per day, and they apparently get tired.'

The Chairman of Bird Lovers Center SilvaAdamyan said that lawsuits have already been filed in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. 'Center for Bird Lovers' and 'EcoDar' NGOs have also been protesting in court against the dolphinarium in Armenia. The proceedings is in progress and the next court hearing is appointed on 17 March.
