Nine bottlenose dolphins remain locked inside a shuttered Mexican water park where campaigners say the animals are blind, sick, and gnawing at concrete walls, and government officials insist the dolphins are fine. Footage filmed September 2 at Dolphin Discovery Ventura Park in Cancun shows the animals confined in algae-ridden enclosures months after the park announced its indefinite closure in January 2025.

A 46-year-old Brooklyn man now faces drug trafficking charges after a Fort Lauderdale police dog led officers to narcotics, cash, and a firearm with a scratched-off serial number hidden inside his vehicle.
