Lonely dolphin in abandoned aquarium in Japan will break your heart
The facility was closed in January. However, the 18-year-old female dolphin along with some other marine animals continue to remain at the aquarium
A bottlenose dolphin and nearly 50 penguins have been abandoned at a defunct aquarium in Japan for months due to lack of visitors. The plight of the marine animals has sparked protests, with animal rights activists and ordinary citizens alike calling for the animals to be saved.
The 18-year-old female bottlenose dolphin, nicknamed Honey, was captured in 2005 near Taiji, a western port town that has become notorious for its annual dolphin hunt that was featured in the Oscar-winning 2009 documentary 'The Cove', according to Daily Sabah.
