Picture of zoo keeper performing sex act on dolphin goes viral
A male zoo keeper leans over the sea mammal and uses his glove hand to perform the sex act before feeding the dolphin a fish.
Since the video was released online, furious animal campaigners have slammed the Dolphinarium in Hardewijk, Netherlands.
But investigators say the act isn’t a crime because it was part of a “breeding programme”.

In a statement the prosecutor said: “The sexual act with the dolphin is performed in the context of training the dolphin for the release of sperm as part of a breeding programme.
“The act was conducted by a scientist in the context of scientific research that focuses on this breeding programme.”
Leonie Vestering, leader of animal party PvdD, pressed charges and accused the zoo of sexual abuse.
But officials are refusing to pursue a criminal case.
They determined that no laws were broken by the disturbing act.

The zoo added that the weird act is to “de-stress” the animals.
