According
to the web page found at http://news.yahoo.com/kenya-whale-shark-safari-swims-controversy-115314986.html
, “a new marine enclosure (in Kenya) will allow holidaymakers to snorkel with
live whale sharks. Organisers of the Indian Ocean sea park say the €100 ticket
price ($134 USD) will fund schemes to stop the docile fish from being wiped
out. But a vocal group of conservationists says it is cruel and unnecessary to
catch and exhibit animals, and wants to stop the scheme, saying it puts money
before animal welfare. Organisers have dismissed critics as
"over-emotional eco-zealots". The heated debate raises a question
that splits conservationists: whether showcasing captive animals advances or
hinders their efforts.”
