Dolphin dies after transfer from Marineland Antibes to Spain; activists decry conditions

Rocky, a 29-year-old dolphin transferred from Marineland Antibes to a park near Malaga in July, has died, prompting outrage from cetacean defense groups. Sea Shepherd had attempted to block the transfer in court, citing welfare concerns. The death raises questions about the adequacy of animal welfare regulations and the conditions of such transfers.
