“For a year, the organizations Animal Heroes, Dolphin Freedom, Marea and Oceanos de Vida Libre have maintained a permanent campaign that demands the closure of this dolphinarium, which is one of the smallest in Mexico,” they said.
“We have delivered letters to both Barcelo in Playa del Carmen and in Mexico City, as well as letters from school children in Baja California who argue for an end to the exploitation of dolphins, but they are never willing to receive us.”

The statement continued: 'Moreover, we exposed other tragedies, such as the death of the dolphins Alex and Plata in just one year, which were never well investigated.
“We have shown that the dolphin bath is smaller than that for people, despite the fact that they swim large distances and depths in the wild, that they have no shelter against the sun, and so on.”
Activist Phil Demers also shared the images on his Urgentenseas Social Media accounts and told Yahoo News on Saturday that the horrible video of the Dolphin who struck him in the concrete left him in 'Absolute Shock'.
“This specific incident is one of the worst. It's real, real. Even if it [had] survived, his health [would have been] Seriously compromised, “he said.
'It is completely unforgivable, it is something that would never happen in the wild. It just eliminates any reason they should exist in these concrete tanks. '

Mr Demers previously published drone images with the concrete tanks in the Barcelo Riviera Maya Hotel and said that the dolphin that jumped to his death showed that the tanks were too small and the dolphins had to be removed.
