Where not to go while you are on Tenerife

When you come to Tenerife, the first thing you will see are many stands with posters showing animals. This posters are here to attract tourists and offer them cheap entertainment. No, it is not cheap in the meaning of money, but it is cheap in the meaning of entertainment. All this animals are in captivity and all because of entertainment, Loro parque for example is doing shows with whales in small tanks. It is well known that some of the whales attacked their trainers. Did you know that orcas (whales) in natural habitat swim more than 100 km per day,they have one of the most sophisticated technique of attack that are transmit to other generations. In small tanks, this is impossible for them. In aqualand you can see shows with dolphins. But why? You can see dolphins and whales in natural habitat if you book trip with boat or submarine in the nearest booking office. I have once walked near the aqualand and when I reached the top of the street, I could see when the show in aqualand was over, the dolphins in small tenk swimming in the circle.It is the same as someone trap you in a room and you are going in circles all day long. Very sad. Other animals which are captivated in Jungle park, Loro park, Monkey park are 18 hours exposed in a small spaces with unnatural light only to be shown to people. This animals often develop bad behavior which is not strange at all. Even in siam park which is famous as the best water park in Europe, the sharks are captivated in dirty water and small space. I think that nobody who have any common sense will go in a places like this. There is so much more to be seen in Tenerife than to see modern slavery.
