They argue that their legal recognition as a zoo allows them to act as a circus.Over the weekend, Lovin Malta released an interview with someone who briefly worked at the park and lamented on the dolphin behaviour he witnessed. The interviewee was not a conservationist, however, he recounted seeing dolphins bang their heads against the holding gates within the tanks.•
