HAVING dolphins in Resorts World Sentosa may be perceived to be educational ("Vocal minority shouldn't hold others hostage" by Mr Steven Chua; Oct 26) but bringing the animals to Singapore will do more harm than good.
Damaging the dolphins' natural habitat by uprooting and placing them in a strange habitat may be detrimental and is not an episode children should learn. We should teach children not to unnecessarily tamper with the natural world.
With the advancement of technology, children can surely learn more about dolphins without causing damage.
