Developing countries, where animal welfare is still in its nascent stages, are notorious for stories of cruelty towards animals. In one such incident, a video has emerged on Facebook that shows dolphins being forced to stay out of the water so that visitors can take selfies with them.
The video has been shot in the Indonesian city of Tangerang, where these mammals are seen strewn on the side of the pool with their mouths gaping as visitors pat them, without the slightest concern for their well-being.
