I just find it interesting that officials would pat attention to an online petition.

I sign a lot of these. They work, sometimes. I'm surprised that a Chinese corporation would care, though. Always glad to see good things happen.

So now they'll be transported in the same boxes over a much longer duration on some boat. You know, instead of just getting a bigger tank...

On boat they at least avoid the crazy elevation changes.

Yeah, but the trip will last much longer and there is no guarantee that the tanks will be any bigger. Had they provided larger tanks and kept the dolphins properly submerged the trip would've been much less stressful (at least I imagine). Plus I'm guessing dolphins have much higher tolerance for pressure changes (with all the deep dives they do without having to decompress like us).
