Dolphins in Captivity Do Not Die “Randomly”

In some sad news, a female dolphin called Sharky (I kid you not) has died whilst performing a stunt at an aquatic theme park in Florida. The 30-year-old bottlenose collided with another dolphin as they both jumped through the air at the same time in a ‘trick’ for spectators. Unfortunately they hit each other and Sharky died of head injuries.
A spokesman at the park has said, “This is an unfortunate, random incident”, but animals in captivity, forced to perform tricks day-in, day-out do not die accidentally. These dolphins belong in the big, blue ocean where they know best how to play their own games, rather than having some demeaning routine etched into their memories by profit-seeking ‘conservationists’. The park in question is allegedly now reviewing their training techniques but is that really good enough? No, it’s not. Take the dolphins out of the park for good and then we’ll give you some credit.
how sad…. we try to dominate animals, thinking that we’re the most intelligent of all, but it seems to me we’re the dumnest of all…the things we do… it0s just …shame on us for treating animals this way
