@kuska7cp you have a really, really vulgar mannerism. Do tyou know that dolphins can wham their beaks into you and hurt you? They've been known to attack sharks this way.
@kuska7cp male dolphins often attack human males to get human females if both are in the water with them. I want to swim with dolphins, but only in a cage. Do ANY places allow this?
I don't know about swimming with dolphins, clearly they are an intelligent curious species but there have been reported attacks. They can be dangerous. One woman was grabbed and pulled down repeatably. They are powerful and clearly potentially dangerous if they want to be.
I'm talking about the possible dangers of swimming with wild dolphins and you are talking about what humans have done to them as if to say "just jump in the water with a potentially dangerous animals because its your human duty to sacrifice yourself"
You sound exactly like a brainwashed MSNBC or CNN watching leftist. You bring up a completely different subject because you can't argue with what I'm saying.
I never disputed that. I don't need to look it up- it's common sense to note that a wild animal can be dangerous. I posted a simple, relatively straightforward comment, as people often do and was called a "dumb motherfucker" by someone who I doubt even understood what I said.

I agree that they should be kept in the wild. But SeaWorld claims that the can raise more $ to protect them if they are shown to the public. Thoughts on that??
Dolphins are second most intelligent animal after humans. They are non human self conscious persons capable of emotions and thoughts. It is useless and even wrong to compare them to other animals because dolphins are just different in so many ways. They have very large brains (for their body size) that are similar in their complexity to human brain in many ways. We just don't have the tools and the means to discover how actually brilliant these animals are.
I love so much Dolphins.. My Business is named after them, my favorite movie also includes them, my favorite funny quote is also about them, we have SO MUCH to learn from these intelligent creatures.. this video is so inspiring, this is my new dream..
LOL I'd kill flipper for a tuna fish sandwich. Seriously though, I did the dolphin thing when I went to Cancun it was cool to be near them, something you dont get to do often. Then when I saw some behind the scene things and how these creatures are delt with by some people kinda dont think I'll do it again.
These dolphins are not wild, quite clearly! I'm sure she had a great time, but they were trained to play with her like that! Check out my vids for some genuine wild dolphins!
were those dolphins not in the wild? seemed like they were in the ocean... were they really just playing around with her, or they were pets of some sort, i'm not getting this video quite, maybe i didnt' listen enough to what they said
Don't support seaworld or aquariums that trap dolphin in those small tanks and enclosure. Dolphins are born to be free and wild, not to do some stupid stunts. So are tigers, seals, etc. If you want to get close to dolphin, let them come up to you in the shores or take a boat out and swim with them, but respect them, don;t grab their skin and fin cos they are very delicate. If they want to play with you, they'll come to you. You don;t have to make any effort. But remember they are cute but wild.
Lets face it - there is no complete freedom for anyone. Humans used to be free to. Instead we've become slaves to our cruel God - money. Everything we do is for our own sake. "Eat or be eaten" - the rule of jungle. And nobody wants to be consumed...
you say take a boat out and swim with dolphins? yea, if you want to risk having your ribs broken, or dragged under water because they think your a toy. sit in the boat, throw them a fish or 2 but, don't risk your life. like you said, "they are cute but wild"
@minghan05 Actually seaworld's aquariums are large and the dolphins actually enjoy it. And it is also meant to teach people about dolphins. So it is bad in a way but good in some other way.
@minghan05 Actually, captive animals live without the stress of predation and competition for food. As long as their conditions are appropriate, captive dolphins live long, happy lives. They consider their aquarium to be their home and they don't have any desire to roam 'free'. Free Willy was a dumb movie - don't apply Hollywood logic to real life.
@theoryaction I'm not too sure about that. How do you know there are happy and not "resigned" to their captive fate? afterall, we do not know their dolphin langauage. Iam just seeing from my own perspective. I can imagine I will go cranky cooped up in a small room every day, make to perform silly tricks, when I being a social animal, would prefer to go out with friends and roam in bigger space. I still think the aquarium is a small place for a big mammal.
@minghan05 Animals have a different hierarchy of needs than we do. You or I wouldn't be happy living in a zoo, even with all our physical and social needs met, because we have no chance for self-actualization, or 'freedom'. Animals don't have this need for freedom that we do. To a dolphin, captivity and freedom are meaningless. Basically, the aquarium is their home, and it has everything they need to be content.
@minghan05 You cannot say a dolphin is "happy" or "sad" or "cranky", that is anthropomorphizing, and we really have no idea what is going on in the minds of the animal. As long as exercise, enrichment, sufficient nutrients, and social interaction (at least when talking about dolphins, since other animals prefer a less social lifestyle in the wild) is provided, these dolphins have their needs met, and also create education and inspiration for young and old to respect nature and it's creations.
@wishiwerebella that sounds like bollox to me mate. I think feelings such as happiness are universal in the animal kingdom and are easily recognised. I don't think that trapping a wild animal shows respect in any significant way.
@theoryaction Sorry, but I'm still not convinced on your "theory" in your latest reply. So by that logic that captivity has no meaning for animals, so I guess putting bears in small cages and milking them for their bile in parts of Vietnam/China should not have meant anything to them? I'd still prefer to see them in the wild in their natural behaviour. Before human intervention and exploitation, animals were meant to be in the wild, even if that meant predation and tough survival.
@minghan05 In your example about bears, you're right. They wouldn't be happy, because their needs aren't being met. Their cages are too small, they get no social interaction, and they're abused by humans; I'm completely against this. However, the dolphins in this video are cared for in a different way: they have tons of space to move around, they have a family group of dolphins to interact with, and they seem just as enamored with us as we are with them. These are happy animals.
@minghan05 You are so right, I'm not sure I could agree with you anymore. Dolphins, depending on species, travel anywhere from 25-50 miles per day. They simple are not meant to live their lives in steel cages surrounded by screaming crowds. Please visit Students for Cetaceans on Facebook for more.
@BMWM3LOVER They are fine in small pool. It is no problem. They are happy as long as you throw them a fish. I am sure one could survive in a large bath tub. I hope so, for I have arranged to purchase one of these dolphin fish, and it will have to live in my bath tub as it's pond is built. I am confident that as long as I throw salt into the bath water, and feed it lots of canned tune fish, it will survive for the 3-4 weeks until it's pond is built. It's the easy life for them. No work.
im a spiritual californial beer drinkin dude who loves to fish and loves the ocean .....last summer i swam with dolphins in the wild between 200- 400 of them everytime we went out they just wanted to play with people on the boats ...i saw 3 people jump from 1 of the 15 boats so i did to we swam for probably a quarter mile with extremely tight quarter dolphins making physical contact with at least 20 or 60 of them...they are like loving puppies......?church?...........we held hands with god.
Humans are technically animals, but we usually don't associate ourselves with other species, and therefore, we don't call ourselves animals. So shouldn't we stop calling dolphins animals? It is a proven fact that they are more intelligent than us, even if most of their intelligence is specialized in different areas than humans.
I wish we could spend more time trying to understand them, then trying to train them to understand us. Maybe we would learn more.
"It is a proven fact that they are more intelligent than us"...and where is the evidence for such a bold statement. JokinJoe?
And also, which dolphin species are you referring to, because, not all dolphin species have shown any unique abilities at 'intelligence' tests etc.
The most 'intelligent' of the dolphin species are no smarter than elephants, apes or corvids. Actually, even bees and ants show complexities seen in animals like dolphins.
Save your breath, animals have more feelings, are more intelligent, are responisble for the wheel and create all sunday crossword and suduko puzzles. The poor little veganites just cant fathom through their little brain that some are just tasty and therefore make up all these false claims to justify their beliefs. Somehow saying a dolphin is smart and human like makes it not ok to eat a steak. Too bad other predatory animals such as sharks etc arent as kind when munching on a flipper! irony huh!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
littlelauren971 Hey food is food, and theres nothing like dolphin steak on the bbq. You should try it. They are just fish. they dont read and write do they.
no way, im not cruel, i dont know how you can eat it, have you ever though of what the dolphin feels? its not JUST fish, theyre beautiful! i dont see what is so different about a human and a dolphin, appart form dolphins dont speek our language, they swim and look different they still have feelings!! grrrr
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
littlelauren971 , Oh c'mon dont get so emotional over a fish. You are making it sound like they are human. All they do is swim, they dont really posess healing powers or anything. I gaurantee you one bite and you will be hooked. They do scream though when they are speared. You have to hold em under the water till they die. But they taste delicious. Its strange how the cutest animals and fish taste the best.
you may what to re think when you say: one bite and you will be hooked, sorry i am a vegetarian! hehe, i LOVE dolphins, they scream when they are speared because it hurts, because they have feelings, i just wish people wouldnt be so mean, they only think of themselves
littlelauren971 LOL hey im only winding you up, Ive never eat dolphin in me life. And ive never sailed the atlantic. I just wanted a reaction. But i thought i would have got more.
edwina22 you are a very horrible person indeed. one dolphins are not fish, they are mammals like you and me are.
two if you did eat dolphins like you said then you should be arrested because I STRONGLY remember hearing somewhere that purposely killing dolphins is a very serious crime that is worth a good few years in prison. and three dolphins are very intelligent, it has been proven.
seriously they are intelligent. they have even been known to perform selfless acts that does not benefit them in any way. such as saving ship wreck survivors by protecting them from shark attacks even tho they have nothing to gain from it. and it is unlikely that these cases whore coincidences like a school of fish in the area or another cause as it happens to often, I think their is even a video on youtube that proves this.
I once met a dolphin, he was an underwater welder on the oil rigs. He could get right down to weld the parts normal divers couldnt. We met on a train from fishborn, He said he was off to whales to see his mates.
-_-U talking to you is like talking to a retarded toilet. but seriously instead of making retarded responses that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about, how about you prove to me that you are more mature then a 6 year old and actually look up what I am talking about and see that dolphins are indeed smarter then you think.
LeesWildWorldStudios, If you were smarter you would read the comments and see that when i said i eat dolphin i was joking, You without even reading jumped on your high horse and started bollocking me. Now try reading the posts and you will see an old one which says i was just on a windup.
wall I did read all your comment but I'm sorry. I should not have snapped at you because of that. but I still request that you make a more reasonable comment about the other half of the argument.
@LeesWildWorldStudios Well i wasnt on here to talk about the intelligence of dolphins, But if you believe they can do all sorts of wonderful thing then thats fine, i dont have problem with that. Still think they would taste nice though.
I just get upset when people think that the only creatures on the planet that has any intelligence are humans that's all. when in reality their are a lot of creatures that not only are substantially intelligent but some almost even rivals humans.
LeesWild, pigs have been known to "perform selfless acts" and have been known to save people. On your logic, the world should stop eating pork. Dogs, elephants, cats have also been known to do the same. I would argue there are other animals that rival the intelligence of dolphins, since these days, people generalize dolphins so much and anthropomorphize them more than most other animals.
their is a difference. these animals have done so because they have grown "attached" to the people they rescued or it was a member of their own species. dolphins on the other hand save people that they never met before in their life.
Perhaps. Although, elephants have been known to demonstrate altruism to other species such as dogs and rhinos, and humans (wild elephants, mind). Regarding the dolphin rescue, there are just as many cases of humans beings dragged out to sea or ignored by dolphins. Rescues are more likely a stroke of luck or dolphins wanting to practice their herding skills than anything else.
I have even seen on this one news report (the video is here on youtube check it out if you got the time) of a single dolphin helping people rescue a beached whale even thou it has never met the people and most likely the whale it's entire life. not only did it helped out but it was even doing a better job then the humans! and for the record, elephants have also bin considered incredibly intelligent as wall. my point is that some animals are fare smarter then most people give them credit for
@youcantbeatfacts You are a smelly raghead that reads our second hand books. You people are backward and evil you stone woman and kids you sick bastards. Go wash you mud hut you tramp.
@youcantbeatfacts I voted tory and i work. In this country we let our women pick or choose if they want to sleep about, or marry who they want. You dont even let women show there arms face legs or anything, you are sick and very soon we will be sorting your country out, just a matter of time thats all. Killing women for having there freedom to do what they want is barbaric and sick. Given the chance irans women will be like ours. Thats why we are cleaning up the planet. Iran is next. LOL.
@youcantbeatfacts Yes english is so bad that you took the time to learn our language. This country will never let muslims take over so carry on dreaming, the reason we have so many diffrent races is because we are democratic, live and let live, and thats what your jealous of. Your country is sick you beat kids and cut off hands and limbs and murder. FUCKOFF YOU WEIRDO.
@youcantbeatfacts Well i will carry on with my way of life and you get on with yours. Whens the last time you went on holiday or to the sea side you dont do you because you are a prisoner in that muddy shitole you call a country. Fuck the bnp i hate racists
@youcantbeatfacts Our country embarrassing? You are clearly brainwashed. Allah is a pedophile who thinks it ok to fuck kids and your country abuses women and kids how can you put england down when your country is barbric and tortures people
@youcantbeatfacts For you to know this country better than me means you spent longer in it than me which shows you dont like your own, ive had 50 years, Also its not my country, i was born here and i live here. I have no love for this county nor do i like the monarchy and i hate the system and the nanny state. I dont judge people for what they believe in thats there problem not mine. If you want to spend half your life talking to mythes in the sky thats your affair. I believe in abortion.
@youcantbeatfacts Abortions can be carried out for all number of reasons not just because someone dont want it. Also i dont believe that in the first stages of pregnancy are these complete babies. I dont think you are iranian. I know some iranian friends and he has lived here 30 years and he doesnt know english as well as you. I think you are english. Teenagers dont think it doesnt matter if i get pregnant i can have an abortion. My own daughter has had one, im not against that.
@edwina22 Hi. Life starts at the moment when by not doing anything, it will develop into an adult. That is, life starts at the very moment of conception. It would be like saying that your life is worth less than that of a younger person. What counts is the concept of life, not when. Many Iranians, Russians, etc get to speak the language to perfection, if they are well educated or have abilities. I write it well but my accent is strong.
@monimstarfox you have a point. It is devastating to see how society has been manipulated until being torn to parts, where brainless individuals don't have any notion of what values are and seem to be obsessed with feeding themselves in the gluttony of selfishness. There are though, some exceptional persons, somewhere, I have met a few.
wow that is so cool. seems so much better than swimming w/ the dolphins in a big pool a la cancun. where can you do something like this, i.e., swimming w/ dolphins in the open sea- more or less? i assume it's much more costly than swimming w/ them in a pool in cancun, etc.? can anyone guestimate a price?
Have you ever tasted dolphin its really good fish, We speared a few on a crossing from south africa to the carri. Just cut off the fillets and let the rest go for fish food its delicious bbq'd. We had about eight or nine, just with a spear gun and line.
Cute, cute...

Don't support seaworld or aquariums that trap dolphin in those small tanks and enclosure. Dolphins are born to be free and wild, not to do some stupid stunts. So are tigers, seals, etc. If you want to get close to dolphin, let them come up to you in the shores or take a boat out and swim with them, but respect them, don;t grab their skin and fin cos they are very delicate. If they want to play with you, they'll come to you. You don;t have to make any effort. But remember they are cute but wild.

Lets face it - there is no complete freedom for anyone. Humans used to be free to. Instead we've become slaves to our cruel God - money. Everything we do is for our own sake. "Eat or be eaten" - the rule of jungle. And nobody wants to be consumed...

you say take a boat out and swim with dolphins? yea, if you want to risk having your ribs broken, or dragged under water because they think your a toy. sit in the boat, throw them a fish or 2 but, don't risk your life. like you said, "they are cute but wild"

@minghan05 i agree, but then they wont be trained to be nice to be nice to people and could be violent.

@minghan05 Actually seaworld's aquariums are large and the dolphins actually enjoy it. And it is also meant to teach people about dolphins. So it is bad in a way but good in some other way.

simranjeet12345 1 year ago
@minghan05 Actually, captive animals live without the stress of predation and competition for food. As long as their conditions are appropriate, captive dolphins live long, happy lives. They consider their aquarium to be their home and they don't have any desire to roam 'free'. Free Willy was a dumb movie - don't apply Hollywood logic to real life.
theoryaction 1 year ago
@theoryaction I'm not too sure about that. How do you know there are happy and not "resigned" to their captive fate? afterall, we do not know their dolphin langauage. Iam just seeing from my own perspective. I can imagine I will go cranky cooped up in a small room every day, make to perform silly tricks, when I being a social animal, would prefer to go out with friends and roam in bigger space. I still think the aquarium is a small place for a big mammal.
minghan05 1 year ago 2
@minghan05 Animals have a different hierarchy of needs than we do. You or I wouldn't be happy living in a zoo, even with all our physical and social needs met, because we have no chance for self-actualization, or 'freedom'. Animals don't have this need for freedom that we do. To a dolphin, captivity and freedom are meaningless. Basically, the aquarium is their home, and it has everything they need to be content.
theoryaction 1 year ago
@minghan05 You cannot say a dolphin is "happy" or "sad" or "cranky", that is anthropomorphizing, and we really have no idea what is going on in the minds of the animal. As long as exercise, enrichment, sufficient nutrients, and social interaction (at least when talking about dolphins, since other animals prefer a less social lifestyle in the wild) is provided, these dolphins have their needs met, and also create education and inspiration for young and old to respect nature and it's creations.
wishiwerebella 1 year ago 2
@wishiwerebella that sounds like bollox to me mate. I think feelings such as happiness are universal in the animal kingdom and are easily recognised. I don't think that trapping a wild animal shows respect in any significant way.
hooverbaglegs 1 year ago
@theoryaction Sorry, but I'm still not convinced on your "theory" in your latest reply. So by that logic that captivity has no meaning for animals, so I guess putting bears in small cages and milking them for their bile in parts of Vietnam/China should not have meant anything to them? I'd still prefer to see them in the wild in their natural behaviour. Before human intervention and exploitation, animals were meant to be in the wild, even if that meant predation and tough survival.
minghan05 1 year ago
@minghan05 In your example about bears, you're right. They wouldn't be happy, because their needs aren't being met. Their cages are too small, they get no social interaction, and they're abused by humans; I'm completely against this. However, the dolphins in this video are cared for in a different way: they have tons of space to move around, they have a family group of dolphins to interact with, and they seem just as enamored with us as we are with them. These are happy animals.

JeyDilara 1 year ago
@minghan05 You are so right, I'm not sure I could agree with you anymore. Dolphins, depending on species, travel anywhere from 25-50 miles per day. They simple are not meant to live their lives in steel cages surrounded by screaming crowds. Please visit Students for Cetaceans on Facebook for more.
BMWM3LOVER 1 year ago 23
@BMWM3LOVER They are fine in small pool. It is no problem. They are happy as long as you throw them a fish. I am sure one could survive in a large bath tub. I hope so, for I have arranged to purchase one of these dolphin fish, and it will have to live in my bath tub as it's pond is built. I am confident that as long as I throw salt into the bath water, and feed it lots of canned tune fish, it will survive for the 3-4 weeks until it's pond is built. It's the easy life for them. No work.

Humans are technically animals, but we usually don't associate ourselves with other species, and therefore, we don't call ourselves animals. So shouldn't we stop calling dolphins animals? It is a proven fact that they are more intelligent than us, even if most of their intelligence is specialized in different areas than humans.
I wish we could spend more time trying to understand them, then trying to train them to understand us. Maybe we would learn more.
JokinJoe 2 years ago
"It is a proven fact that they are more intelligent than us"...and where is the evidence for such a bold statement. JokinJoe?
And also, which dolphin species are you referring to, because, not all dolphin species have shown any unique abilities at 'intelligence' tests etc.
The most 'intelligent' of the dolphin species are no smarter than elephants, apes or corvids. Actually, even bees and ants show complexities seen in animals like dolphins.
thestarduster 2 years ago
Save your breath, animals have more feelings, are more intelligent, are responisble for the wheel and create all sunday crossword and suduko puzzles. The poor little veganites just cant fathom through their little brain that some are just tasty and therefore make up all these false claims to justify their beliefs. Somehow saying a dolphin is smart and human like makes it not ok to eat a steak. Too bad other predatory animals such as sharks etc arent as kind when munching on a flipper! irony huh!

littlelauren971 , Oh c'mon dont get so emotional over a fish. You are making it sound like they are human. All they do is swim, they dont really posess healing powers or anything. I gaurantee you one bite and you will be hooked. They do scream though when they are speared. You have to hold em under the water till they die. But they taste delicious. Its strange how the cutest animals and fish taste the best.

edwina22 2 years ago
seriously they are intelligent. they have even been known to perform selfless acts that does not benefit them in any way. such as saving ship wreck survivors by protecting them from shark attacks even tho they have nothing to gain from it. and it is unlikely that these cases whore coincidences like a school of fish in the area or another cause as it happens to often, I think their is even a video on youtube that proves this.

LeesWild, pigs have been known to "perform selfless acts" and have been known to save people. On your logic, the world should stop eating pork. Dogs, elephants, cats have also been known to do the same. I would argue there are other animals that rival the intelligence of dolphins, since these days, people generalize dolphins so much and anthropomorphize them more than most other animals.
thestarduster 2 years ago
their is a difference. these animals have done so because they have grown "attached" to the people they rescued or it was a member of their own species. dolphins on the other hand save people that they never met before in their life.
LeesWildWorldStudios 2 years ago 2
Perhaps. Although, elephants have been known to demonstrate altruism to other species such as dogs and rhinos, and humans (wild elephants, mind). Regarding the dolphin rescue, there are just as many cases of humans beings dragged out to sea or ignored by dolphins. Rescues are more likely a stroke of luck or dolphins wanting to practice their herding skills than anything else.
thestarduster 2 years ago
I have even seen on this one news report (the video is here on youtube check it out if you got the time) of a single dolphin helping people rescue a beached whale even thou it has never met the people and most likely the whale it's entire life. not only did it helped out but it was even doing a better job then the humans! and for the record, elephants have also bin considered incredibly intelligent as wall. my point is that some animals are fare smarter then most people give them credit for

@edwina22 Hi. Life starts at the moment when by not doing anything, it will develop into an adult. That is, life starts at the very moment of conception. It would be like saying that your life is worth less than that of a younger person. What counts is the concept of life, not when. Many Iranians, Russians, etc get to speak the language to perfection, if they are well educated or have abilities. I write it well but my accent is strong.
