this video is little to trippy and dramatic, but the video does have a good message. dolphins are so cooperative because the have highly developed mammalian brains, meaning, they arent vicious fearful defensive creatures, they understand our power and that is why they submit. we make them our slaves and they know to be good slaves because if they are bad they wont get food and may even get hurt/eaten(eaten paranoia; because in animal terms why else would we keep them around like that?)
you make absolutly no sense, and it definatly shows in how random this video is. and just so you know, if dolphins really where depressed about being in a tank, then they wouldnt eat and would be very sick all the time. it is true that this is the case in a lot of aquariums, but none of the ones i support.
# 53% of those dolphins who survive the violent capture die within 90 days.
# The average life span of a dolphin in the wild is 45 years; yet half of all captured dolphins die within their first two years of captivity. The survivors last an average of only 5 years in captivity.
Every seven years, half of all dolphins in captivity die from capture shock, pneumonia, intestinal disease, ulcers, chlorine poisoning, and other stress-related illnesses. To the captive dolphin industry, these facts are accepted as routine operating expenses.
# When a baby dolphin is born in captivity, the news is usually kept secret until the calf shows signs of survival. Although marine mammals do breed in captivity, the birth rate is not nearly as successful as the one in the wild, with high infant mortality rates.
# Wild dolphins can swim 40 to 100 miles per day - in pools they go around in circles.
@vspinkgirl That is certainly not true. One need not starve himself or be ill to be unhappy, nor does one even need to be depressed to be unhappy or uncomfortable. Dolphins were designed for an oceanic habitat, not a tank. They typically swim over 50 miles a day, not in circles. Not in the aquariums you support you say? What aquarium is good for a free-ranging animal? They are wild animals. Don't you think they should remain in the ocean, where they were created to be?
if we dont educate people about how smart they are and that they arnt just mindless fish, then how can we expect them to give a crap about the slaughter and capture of dolphins in japan? have you even HEARD about the rescues florida does?
Some people do silly things like "oppose fishing" because it's hurts the fishes, or join "rat rescue" to save rats! However, I agree, for all we know, Dolphins may even be more intelligent than humans, but don't have arms and legs to build things. They don't "go on instinct" but are real thinking-feeling creatures I think. Dolphins have actually SAVED humans from shark attacks.
not all places where dolphins are kept in captivity is bad! this video is very stupid in my opinion. i live in florida and much of the dolphins are used for studies and educating the public about them. we even have the only blonde dolphin in captivity, AND the OLDEST dolphin ever to be recorded!
great video! shows the truth, powerful... yet so so heartbraking! Great job. captivity kills and thats just wat these facilitys are doing to the dolphins!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA honest i hate dolphins now that i have seen this video. and that picture of that fat lady on the dolphin was nothing less than hysterical. eat more dolphin
