Last of their kind

People walk in front of the Jangsaengpo Whale Museum in Nam District, Ulsan, on Wednesday, a day before a revised bill that prohibits the introduction of new cetaceans at aquariums, including whales and dolphins, goes into effect. Some 16 dolphins and five belugas are in captivity nationwide, making them the last cetaceans on display. Riding and touching dolphins will be allowed only when approved by the government for educational purposes. [NEWS1]
