Odesa dolphinarium Nemo reacted to the scandal of a photo session of bloggers with fur seals in a hotel room.
On the Facebook page of the dolphinarium, they said that zoo radicals, vegans or vegan minorities deliberately created a fake sensation, and the video was shot unplanned and showed how much Nemo seals like to play with people.
The authors said that the bloggers met the trainer with his pets on the territory of the Nemo Hotel Resort & SPA complex during their daily walk. They had already "become friends" before. The video was shot to show how social, playful and positive the cats are when playing with people.
"Unfortunately, there is an aggressive minority of vegans - zoo radicals. They are against sanctuaries, against zoos, against marine zoos-dolphinariums, against stables and even against keeping any animals at home, be it parrots, chinchillas, guinea pigs, raccoons or aquarium fish," wrote representatives of the dolphinarium.
They wrote that in modern psychiatry, they even use the term "zooschizophrenia" in relation to imagined cruelty to animals.
"Vegans or vegan minorities deliberately create fake sensations to popularize and impose on all people of the planet their "only faithful" in quotation marks (according to their stubborn conviction) vegan aggressive philosophy, and with hatred and curses they throw themselves at all normal people", - emphasized in the message.
The message added that most of the pets of the dolphinarium were born there.
According to the authors, for an animal, communication with people is not only a part of ordinary life, but also a vital necessity.
It is worth noting that the publication of the photo caused a wave of indignation in the network. People accused the dolphinarium and bloggers of animal cruelty and exploitation.
In addition, the dolphinarium closed comments under the post explaining the case.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, in Odesa, in the hotel room of the Nemo Hotel Resort & SPA, the blogger took a photo session with two fur seals and published it on the network.
