“The operation to seize northern fur seals from Mr. Kalnibolotsky, who released four dolphins into the sea the day before, has been completed.

There were seven northern fur seals in the dolphinarium,” he said in Telegram.

Razvozhaev said that fur seals are transported in specially equipped vehicles to the base of the Koktebel Dolphinarium, where they will be provided with food and veterinary care.

Earlier in Sevastopol, the police opened a criminal case on the fact of cruel treatment of dolphins.

According to preliminary data from the investigation, four dolphins included in the Red Book of the Russian Federation were thrown into the sea by an individual entrepreneur who is the director of one of the dolphinariums.
