Better than being caught in a fishing net and drowning to death, or being shot by a Japanese harpoon for 'scientific purposes'. Animals in captivity can often live a lot longer than their wild counterparts.

I rang up to complain. They told me that the call may be recorded, for training porpoises.

Imagining that being said, in an Irish accent, made me howl with laughter

Dolphins have been known to commit suicide in captivity.

Harper_Milne · 03/07/13 - 05:34

Yes I think it's cruel. They belong in a massive ocean not a swimming pool. Especially the massive ones, like what is a bloody whale doing in a pool i mean really? XD

Interesting, but they were wild dolphins. How would a dolphin in captivity kill itself?

[Deleted User] · 03/07/13 - 13:34

They drown themselves.

Ooooh brave person.

I bet you think Dolphins cavorting around you would be really "friendly". They're just trying to wear you out, before they drag you to the salting and seasoning factory in the depths of Atlantis. Human & seaweed pie, yum yum.

Thunder Lips · 03/07/13 - 15:29

I think it is, because humans are animals and it's cruel to make us watch that shite.

Um. That's someone opinion based on very little. 'It kinda sorta looks a bit like suicide' is not exactly conclusive. Not for me anyway.

Last time I went there they wanted 10 Squid for an adult!
