  • I love dolphins when ever you guys go there again you guys should do another video ur video is very clear i love it i always whanted to go to sea world but we could never get the money to go :} c.d.o.<3

  • people, watch A FALL FROM FREEDOM and THE COVE if you really love dolphins <3

  • amazing at least dolphin can jump about 3m, their muscle is really good,

  • MARAVILHOSO.....MARAVILHOSO...­SEM COMENTARIO...

  • Every1 who thinks this is cute should watch the cove. Dolphins have a mouth that turns upward, giving the false impression that they are happy. Dolphins that are captive are depressed. Most are on anti depressants, cuz if this is not so they can actually kill themselves. Some say that dolphins have a level of intelligence that surpasses humans'. Imagine if you were trapped in a small aquarium with thousands of people constantly watching and gawking at you. Watch the cove if u rlly <3 dolphins.

  • @thekaysotays I Just watched that and i now look at these things in a whole new way :(

  • @thekaysotays They where born in captivity. For all these dolphines know, this place is the sea. You put them out in the ocean they wouldn't stand a chance. And even though the antidepressants are used its for keeping the animal calm when in these tanks. It is most commonly used on rescued dolphines NOT born in captivity dolphines.

  • thats where they played h2o

  • Если бы Дарвин сказал, что человек произошел не от обезьяны, а от дельфина , то у его теории было гораздо больше сторонников, а может вообще нис кем не пришлось бы спорить, смотрели семьей, понравилось всем, спасибо авторам ролика и артистам!

  • all dolphins should be free however this isn't abuse

  • sea world is evil!.. free the dolphins!!

  • i love dolphins that was so adorable to see them in the show.

  • @msturk7 So long and thanks for all the fish!

  • AAAAWWWWWWWWW MANN i love it when they talk at 6 39 the rope was too high ..

  • did anyone else notice shamu in the backround when the "family" came up?

  • @msturk7 wow I cant believe people even in liked this, these dolphins are BRED IN CAPTIVITY they wouldn't survive in the wild, besides dolphins are the attention whores of the animal kingdom they are always showing off even in the wild. and they are not jumping out of the water to kill themselves, they BREATHE OXYGEN you fool

  • @msturk7 Actully i saw i case on the animals at sea world there other poens that are maybe 30x the length of the dolphin they olnly kept in those small pens before and after the shpows for max an hour

  • 4:43 ish is the opposite of animal cruelty. There's a thin line between funny and cruel. Subscribe! :)

  • Comment removed

  • @msturk7 i read some of what happens on "the cove" on wikipedia and i think that one dolphin voluntarily killed itself by closing its blowhole. that is depressing

  • M-my name is Sidney... o.o O_O

  • Placing these animals in swimming pools is fundamentally wrong. To say they enjoy or thrive in these settings is morally reprehensible and just plain wrong. I have studied these animals in the wild as part of a Canadian delegation to the Gulf Of Mexico and am saddened to read these comments, most of which are inaccurate and just plain wrong. Wow, things will never change if we continue to place theses beautiful, intelligent creatures in enclosures on masse.

  • @msturk7 you realize they are spoiled at seaworld if they were released they would die because of starvation, not to mention fishermen pollution, lack of pod in the wild

  • @chakdeindiasidd

    Which is why they shouldn't be captured in the first place.

    In the end, we're the ones causing those problems.

    Is that not obvious?

  • @P1NKBLUSH they are bred at seaworld they have always lived in captivity

  • @chakdeindiasidd True! But if this is the reason for this to go on, do NOT "spoil" new dolphins! They obey their trainers because they know this is how they will get food. That doesn't mean they like doing the same jumps and tricks every day. Dolphins are extremely intelligent animals. They live in societies! What money-makers do is disgusting, cruel and deserves punishing! These millionaires can afford to at least build them bigger pools and imitate their natural environment.

  • @NadiaVMful who knows what they think, they have never known life outside seaworld because they were born and raised at seaworld in the breeding program, build them a new pool do whatever you want, they live in a society of other seaworld dolphins, they get to play and jump around and get food, people think of captive animals as gladiators simply doing stuff to entertain the crowd and get by, this is exactly the opposite animals in captivity live like kings, no predators, no need to hunt, etc.

  • @chakdeindiasidd obviously they can't be put back in the wild now, but they shouldnt even be there in the first place!! watch the movie The Cove if you really like dolphins

  • Comment removed

  • @chakdeindiasidd Suicide in captivity, death in wild.

    Either way, we're ruining the world for them.

  • @C4Vendetta oh i agree with your point! the danger of stress is bigger than the dangers they face in the wild, especially since they travel in pods.

  • @chakdeindiasidd but in captivity, the face stress 24/7, meaning lots of tragedies of death for both animals and trainers. Not to mention all the jumping and spinning and shallow pools means getting sunburned and mosquito bites. in the wild they wouldn't have stayed out of water as long so it's no way they're facing these dangers.

  • @msturk7 they're also gonna die in the ocean cause of pollution and fishermen

  • TOP I like this video

  • 2:50 What is the whale in the background doing? Handstand?

  • I wish I had a pet Dolphin family in the sea, It would be the coolest thing to go to the beach and hang with Dolphins xD No lie. =D

  • I want to work there! Working with tigers and lemurs is fun, but I LOVE dolphins!!!

  • the birds like I WANT SOME FISH!!!!

  • y'all should watch 'The Cove', in that movie there's the truth about dolphins and Sea World.

    This animals are not happy, actually they're really stressed and they want to kill themselves. PLEASE LET THEM FREE!

  • @msturk7 that couldn't be any more untrue! All of the animals at SeaWorld are either injured in the wild and are nursed back to health then released OR were born at the park. All animals used in shows are trained to perform these behaviours for exercise and so they don't get bored. If you see some vids about behind the scenes of the shows on YouTube they show that every animal has their own personal 'diary' which contained what they will be doing each day including quality time.

  • awesome animals!

  • 62 sharks watched this video

  • as sad as some people think dolphins in captivity are, they actually have a better life there, sure they dont have as much room to swim, but they are free from predators, have veterinary care, get ample food and they have all day to play knowing they will get food, in the wild, health, happiness and their overall wellbeing is not guaranteed, so stop blaming the aquariums, theyre the ones doing the good deed

  • au japon et au denemark massacre et tue les dauphins chaque anée

  • there are 5 intelligent beings in this video. 4 dolphins and the sea gull, it is way smarter than the trainer and is not supporting the animal cruelty.

  • There was a wading tank there. About 50 ft in diam. where about 4 or 5 Dolphins were in the middle. they never let the people pet or touch them. There was a step about a ft. below the water line that circled the pool. So I grabbed 2 quarters & reached down pinging one on the other . The Dolphins Immediately responded. One dolphin used sonic location on my hand in the water, it felt like fingers then a hand slapping. I pet the Dolphin. Who looked at me, & I felt this mammal needs to be free. pt 1

  • those ppl must be pissed 3:57

  • this is so sick!!!!

  • like like like like :X:X in romania never see that :| show:|:(

  • @brandcjab you can not ´compare teaching dolphins and dogs or cats. Dolphins are wild animals and dogs can not live without a home. I mean sure the trainers are always nice to them, but dolphins belong in the biggest pool on earth -> The ocean. They swim every they more than 25 kilometers and play with waves and swim as fast as they can but in the pool they cant´t do that. These trainers think that if they throw a ball in the pool they don´t get bored but they are. WATCH THE COVE !!!!

  • @msturk7 if they were not happy, then why have we had 75 baby dolphins born at the park?

  • wow it nice

  • @msturk7  you are right ! In germany 8 dolphins died in captivity

  • So long, and thanks for all the fish.

  • Their conspicuous use of the word "behavior" instead of "trick" is interesting.

  • If there weren't dolphin shows you could frown upon, would you give a crap about dolphins altogether? Same what it's with wolves. When they're captivated or hunted people want to protect them but otherwise they just couldn't care less. By this twisted logic dolphins being held in zoos and stuff are doing good things. They've also offered information of the species which helps to protect the wild ones.

  • @julisch4444 you also have to look at it from another perspective.. in the wild they're exposed to all the waste that we sadly dump into open waters (look up the trash island. a pile of trash floatin in the water the size of texas) and when they're in captivity like this they still get exercise, love, medical care, and constant attention which is what the captive raised ones do actually enjoy, otherwise they would straight kill everyone. not saying you're wrong but that's just how i see it!

  • @Duvalc003 Yes you are absolutely right ! But i am still against captivity, because i think it is better that they have a fantastic life, instead of living in a small pool just because the get health care. Therefore, there are also a lot of activists who catch dolphins and take care for them some weeks and after that they get free (:

  • wow

  • they look like they r having a lot of fun :D

  • Awwwwwwww i <3 dolphins!!!

  • who noticed the pikachu in the audience?

  • This is like the 3rd time i'm watching this. It's so amazing how we human can teach these dolphins these stuff. AMAZING!! ;)

  • This is amazing!! :D 

  • @ETEntertainmentToday Unfortunately we do, i'll explain to you over private message, its too long to fit into a comment.

  • @94CHL Ok private message me. Do you remember my last comment by the way? Our conversation seems to have disappeared.

  • @ETEntertainmentToday sorry, im sure i did? lol, no i don't, repeat it & i'll private message you

  • @94CHL No I didn't get the pm. Try sending it again. i don't remember my last comment so I have no idea what I said. Our comments somehow disappeared.

  • @94CHL thats not all promised. It's not all a definite. & No you're not a marine biologist, you're a youtub-er. I've seen all the videos also. I don't think a marine biologist would be on youtube, discussing options, or putting up opinions. I'm in the Navy, i'm probably closer to the ocean than you are.

  • None of these dolphins are bred in captivity. They are bought in places like Japan from whalers. You know what whalers do, right? You guessed it. Watch "The Cove" and you'll see where these dolphins come from and how they get to Sea World.

  • if the dolphins didn't want to do it they wouldn't, how many times have you seen a dog refuse to sit or roll over? i wonder how many of you that write against these dolphins being in captivity have dogs? or cats? no animal was ever supposed to be tame or in captivity. There are so many health and safety rules, animal rights groups and rules and licensing for keeping animals, if these animals were mistreated it would not go unnoticed. i would ratther them be here and well looked after.

  • The sad moment when you realize these dolphins are better cheerleaders than the ones at your school

  • Dolphins die because of captivity and other sucking activities. Just releasing them isnt good, because they cant fish by themselves and count on humans to feed them. No mather the money, dolphins arent toys we should protect them from bad people like this

  • notice how the people who are clapping are in the back of the row and aren't wet :)

  • At first i though that those dolphins are having fun , those people did give them a "perfect home" to stay in. But i realise that no matter how well those dolphins are treated in those artificial tanks / pools , it cant be compared to the wild.

    Think about it , if no one watches these shows , will they spent the money in building those pools,stages etc?no its about profit.

    Google "The Cove Movie" and watch it.

    After watching this , i realise the truth and facts about dolphins.

  • god this video is depressing, if you want to see animals go visit them in the wild, but dont make them dance for their food.

  • there is no porblem to keep dolphins in captivity..what is imprtant is that iof they have babies it means they r very ok

  • Yes. Seeing the dolphin movie The Cove really opened my eyes to the dolphins for entertainment business. The born in captivity marine-life would not have happened had there not been adoring paying customers making it profitable.

  • I like Diego =D

  • Give that dolphin some weed

  • 1:58 Babys and gentlemen? xD

  • I love dolphins <3

  • I think personally you cannot hate or like sea world, yea the Dolphins are in smaller pools and this poses health problems and they are used for performance, but people say they don't like this!! how do you know? maybe dolphins enjoy performing for people and enjoy the attention they get they don't look miserable or else they would not perform. People want these places closed but look into a 7-8 year girl or boy who dreams of becoming a trainer and say your not allowed :( don't judge sea world!

  • @dolphin94lover infcat dolphins adore perfomring cause they do what is natural for them.. as they r in open sea...if they dotn perform they fall in deep stress and depression

  • Yeah! Captive dolphins! Learn THE TRUTH by watching "The Cove"

  • @MoneySavingVideos hey hiee i'm from India. I have planned to arrange dolphin show here... can we talk about it !

  • anyone else see other WHALES in the backround?

  • @LavenderFlowers8 Yes that's 9-lives (Niner) and Bubbles the pilot whales

  • @ShamuTrainerG oh thx

  • @LavenderFlowers8 No problem :)

  • pour animals. they don't belong there

    i don't understand the trainers, they should be the ones caring about animals are they really that dumb?

  • FREE DOLPHINS!!!!! THIS SMART ANIMALS NOT ARE CLOWNS FREE DOLPHINS DONT BUY A TICKET!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • actually you are completely incorrect. The Cove was ALL about how the dolphins that dont get chosen for dophin shows ARE slaughter inhumanly!

  • see the thing is when you capture dolphins from the sea they obviously wont be used to a tiny tank compared to miles of sea, however since seaworld breeds them (and this will sound sad but its true) they dont know what the ocean is or that fish can swim! if you were just to throw a born captive dolphin into the sea he/she would be terrified! so bascially what im trying to say is that as dolpins are bred in captivity they BELIEVE its their home because they've never seen the sea

  • @TheRoxySkier Dolphins like every single other animal, have natural instincts. They are born with them, yes fair enough, if you throw a dolphin which has been bred in captivity in the sea, it might not survive. But thats beyond the point, these places that keep these captive dolphins should try and keep them as wild as they can. Wild & non wild dolphins should not be performing tricks, its not natural.

  • It is irresponsible to keep these sophisticated animals in captivity, because they own most basic needs are denied: In the wild, dolphins live in groups of up to 100 animals, reaching speeds of up to 50 km / h, up to 500 meters deep dive and be 10 years older than captive

  • @julisch4444 I do see some problems with keeping them in captivity, but look how much fun they are having :3

  • @RaccoonKit i first also thought they have fun, but a guy who knows dolpins very well, said to me that they are often hungry and everybody thinks they are laughing becouse of their smily mouth but they always "smile" even if they are sad. You should watch this dolphins after the show in the small pool, and you also should watch a video where the dolphins are jumping in the sea. just some weeks ago i was in spain sailing and i could see a lot of dophins, after that i want to protect them. !

  • @julisch4444 u watched the cove? me too. haha

  • @cuteamyn not yet, i have just seen the trailer. that was enough ^^

  • @julisch4444 that is so sad i love dolphins and that broke my heart to know that # help the dolphins

  • @arkhiakaylee i am happy that i am not the only one how can see that this is cruel ! :D

  • @RaccoonKit how do u know they r having fun?

  • @julisch4444 If you're concerned about that, then you must be concerned about dogs being held "captive" by their owners? I think we humans are pretty freaking awesome companions. Therefore I think that animals that can be domesticated should be domesticated. Both humans and the animals win...

  • @tpstrat14 You can domesticat dogs better than dolphins ! The drifferent between dogs an dolphin is that dogs can go to places, but dolphins are the hole time of their life in this small pool. Dolphin have much more needs than dogs. Dogs, cats, rabbits.... can be your pet easier than dolphins, becouse dolphins belong to the sea.

  • @julisch4444 good point. They seem like they're pretty happy though...

  • @julisch4444 How do you define "Basic Needs"? Obviously they don't know that they need to be sea creatures, so it doesn't hurt them in any way.

  • @moriya2k2 1.) i think its quite sad that this dolphins don´t know how it is to be free. For me, this is animal cruelty too ! 2.)Even a dolphin, who was born in the pool gets bored in this small pools and has the need to swim fast and deep. An example: a baby was born in a room and never got out of that. Its 18 right now, and it was never outside. Do you think the person in the room is happy with this situation.. ? :)

  • ANY captive dolphin or orca can be REHABILITATED to a SEA PEN *Look it up!* They would *not* simply be thrown in the ocean like rubbish and told "bye have a nice life" - they can have access to their natural environment as a whole and gain strength and health in the meantime. There's no real risk involved. Captivity = Slavery.

  • Just to clarify, none of the dolphins can be released back into the wild as they have become too reliant on humans and no longer know how to hunt for food. I live in Greece and many of our wild dolphins have died of starvation owing to people throwing food to them from boats, which results in them following boats for food, and giving up on hunting altogether. It's sad but that's why there's laws against interacting with dolphins in the wild.

  • wow captivity

  • Ok stop arguing for like five minutes please everybody stop fighting and go watch dolphins wherever you prefer, just please go watch the dolphins some where

  • @Teamsong1 The way to stop that is stop breeding them in captivity and don't take them from the wild. They are being condemned to a life in prison here, captivity is very damaging fro them.  Watch the film "The Cove", now that's the truth.

  • If you care about these fascinating creatures, why do you want to put them in a swimming pool? Because that's what that is. You want to learn about them? Go and see them in the wild. Want to work with them? Become a marine biologist and study them in their natural habitat. I don't understand how people can be so selfish. Consider the happiness of the animal, not your own personal pleasure, or the money you gain by having them. THINK.

  • all these dolphins have a lot of stress for the noise because there are very sensitive to it , so all of them have ulcers , they have to take medicine for it , ITS BETTER IF YOU WATCH VIDEOS OF LIKE "THE COVE" and you DISCOVER THE TRUTH BEHIND THE DOLPHINS SHOWS !!! SAVE THE DOLPHINS

  • @saharaconnor What in the world are you talking about? The Cove has nothing to do with Dolphin shows. Also those people weren't professionals.

  • @moriya2k2 but these people sell the separated dolphins to shows like this. And the rest was killed

  • why are people covering themselves when the dolphin's are making them wet?that's the whole point on why you're there! to be entertained and get wet! thumbs up if you agree!!!

  • i love dolphins i wanna swim with one one day and dolphins are totally cute and i love all of them

  • these american idiots are soooooo cute.

  • I swam with dolphins in Cuba when I was a kid. Since then I watched the documentary The Cove. I would suggest everyone watch it before going swiming with dolphins in captivity, it really does open your eyes to the horrid jurney they make from open ocean to there tank. Theres a good chance that these dolphins watched there brothers, sisters and babies slaughtered side by side. For me its a no brainer. I challenge anyone to watch it and still be enthrilled to see them in this way.

  • If you watched "The Cove" you would realize why this is so wrong.

  • Dolphins should not be brought into slavery for our enjoyment or entertainment. Nor for theaching us anything. Many must die a harrowing death for each one captured and brought into bondage. Pity that such sentient beings are brought to chattel to be tought stupid pet tricks. Oh, and I would not want to extend my life for the price of lost freedom. Would you?

  • i don't believe you said it! the dolphins are like in jail they should be free it's their natural place! they should swin tousands of miles everyday and instead of it they are locked in a small tank doing tricks they don't want to do! did you know they have really sensitive earing?? when they are in sea world thousands people screaming around them, they are suffering don't you understand?? because of people like you this animals live in small tanks of water locked without the option for freedom!

  • u r the best dolphins ! 

  • it's awful! you think it's nice and a fun thing to do but it's an abuse, they are locked in a small tank without the option to swim for long miles' this animals should be in nature, free! sea world is an industry who earning millions of dollars every year and we need to stop it! please support my opinion and if you don't agree with me please go see the movie "the cove" you'll be shocked and your'e opinion will be changed like my opinion did. please support!

  • @talia2233 you're stupid, they take animals in that are hurt and help them survive. Some are born there and cannot live on there own because of the lack of experience. Think before you speak, it will help and stop you from making yourself look like an idiot and ignorant.

  • @BigBlockBoss429 They haven't actually taken injured animals from the wild, that's propaganda. Marine rescue centres take the injured ones, nurse them back to health and then release them. So you stop yourself looking ignorant. How would you like to be shoved into a little swimming pool when you could have the ocean and a family?

  • So sad. It's all about money. :(

  • Top quality

  • its a nice show

  • duncan is a boss

  • haha 6:30 i just tolds everyone to jump over the rope but duncan pulled it down what is going on-  all dolphins- eeeeeeeheeeheee!-trainer-they said the rope was too high- audience-hahahahaha- me-BWAHAHAHAHAHAbwahaha*laughi­ng while 2 dolphin act a laugh* that was halairies XDDDD

  • this has nothing to do wit seananners

  • Who saw the girl holding the other end of the rope almost fall?

  • Yuupiiii <3 <3 <3 gorgeous!!!!

  • PETA freaks, shut up

  • @arc175 It's not PETA, it's you heart. You obviously don't give a hit about these animals if you think it's okay to lock them in a tank. Did you know the loud crowds stress them out? They have very sensitive ears. They are fed dead fish so cannot hunt like they could in the wild. They are not put into proper family groups which is horrid because they are incredibly social beings, meaning that they cannot form a proper pod. This industry is simply fro money. Watch "The Cove".

  • @McLeod203 stfu with the whole corporation bullshit. and besides, these animals aren't wild, they can't survive

  • @arc175 Do your research. A lot of the dolphins they have their have been taken from the wild, and seen many of their pod members slaughtered in the selection process where the parks choose which dolphins they want to buy. So they can be released. The ones that were bred in captivity cannot, but they should be stopped. Anyway, wild or not, this is no way to treat an animal You obviously don't give a shit about the dolphin's welfare.

  • @McLeod203 dolphin welfare? lol!

  • @arc175 God you really are a piece of work aren't you. I would like to shove you in a room with no stimulation, non of your family and throw in the occasional dead fish and make you do tricks. Maybe then you would realise what these animals have to go through. Do you even like dolphins? Or do you think they are just there to "entertain" us and act like a money dispenser.

  • @McLeod203 Yes I do like dolphins, I like all animals in fact.

  • @arc175 Doesn't sound like it. Why are you making fun of me thinking about the dolphins' welfare? You like them but don't care if they have to suffer?

  • SHUT UP AND WATCH THEM DANCE!!! :D

  • i love dolphins

  • You guys are idiots. In the words of Ric O'barry, these dolphins are not "living", they're surviving. Living, is doing things: collectively feeding, socializing, swimming for miles at a time. The ocean is their NATURAL habitat, it's where nature intended them to be. If trainers really love the animals, they'll let them free into the wild. Saying they're safer in captivity is like saying a human is safer in jail. I for one, would prefer freedom over "safety".

  • @P1NKBLUSH well actualy your quite wrong.. those dolphins are bred in captivity, they wouldnt know how to survive in the wild. they wouldnt be able to feed themselves. show dolphins trust humans to do that for them.

    We feed them and train them to keep their minds active. we do not use them as slaves. and besides hundreds of dolphins are killed in the wild by other animals including people, so they are in fact safer in captivity and they live longer aswell.

  • @XCrazyKezX would you honestly want to live longer if that was your life? Research the facts. They belong in the ocean, it's nature. Typical, thinking you are saving them when you are condemning them to a life in prison. Their tanks are not big enough, they can't hunt and they have no use fro their echo-location which is an incredibly important skill for a dolphin. If you care, you would see that, obviously you are too selfish or have been brainwashed by the bullshit that Sea World tells you.

  • @P1NKBLUSH thats all well and good, but most of these dolphins are fed regularly, and don't know how to gather their own food, most of them would not survive, and would go where the humans are, and be hit by boats, or deal with poluted water. You can say all you want, And be a big fat tree hugger. But what you're really doing is 'Saying all the RIGHT things' when you're not thinking out of the box. Think of the reasons before you open your mouth. A lot of these dolphins were RESCUED. C'mon now

  • @shelzz87 None of them were rescued, marine rescue centres rescue animals then release them. These places go and choose which dolphin they want after that are herded into small areas where many dolphins die, and the rest are bred there. Plus yes there are dangers to them in the wild, that's called life.. Putting them into a sterile environment with no proper stimulation or replica of their environment is not helping them in any way, it is simply fro money/entertainment. Please watch "The Cove".

  • @McLeod203 i went and did some research on this, all dolphins from seaworld are rescued or bred in the facility.

  • @shelzz87 Same SeaWorld claims that they were "rescued" from Japan. Of course SeaWorld says that, they don't want bad press, but honestly, I don't believe it. And even if they did, keeping them like this is not acceptable, rescued or not. By rescued they mean saved from slaughter, not and ill dolphin, so why don't they release them? They are too intelligent to be kept like this and are given anti-depressant sin their feed to try and stop them becoming incredibly depressed, which they often are.

  • @McLeod203 i understand where you're coming from but i am not in the position to be assuming anything like that, i do not know their motives, or what their thoughts are on the situation. I can't say that i don't agree, but then again, i don't know each dolphin's individual situation. I do know that there are some there that would not make it in the wild, and should not be subject to release. Hense, the tailless dolphin. She is better off where she is.

  • @shelzz87 Yeah of course there are a few dolphins which are handicapped and are better off in captivity, but just not THIS kind of captivity. I would like to see them in a large lagoon connected to the ocean, so there are no chemicals in the water which can irritate their eyes,

  • @shelzz87

    (continued) live fish in the water so the dolphin has an opportunity to hunt and use it's echo-location and specialists to monitor them and not made to perform tricks for an audience. If you want to rescue a dolphin you should do it fro the love of them, not use them to make money, so I say no shows.

  • @McLeod203 well said. makes me ashamed to be part of such a selfish species

  • @oilusboyne Exactly. It's so selfish and no one stops and thinks - wait, this is so cruel, instead they give you all this bullshit about why they are better in captivity, which is ludicris.
