Dolphin show

[saltibagos01]

Dolphins dont belong there

[Amarillise]

ITS A SWIMING POOL !!!!!! :O HORRIBLE !

[CoolParakeets]

poor dolphins :( They don't have fresh air and they are making the dolphins less and less friendlier. I bet the dolphins want to put those trainers into that pool while the dolphins train the trainers.

[ty56742]

i think that dolphin is very hungry and the other is clever in ball oo

[atragicconspiracy]

dolphins dont belong in captivity ! dolphins travel 40 miles a day every day ! sea world & all these other industries are a shame ! these dolphins were bought from japan and shipped out all over the world just for your entertainment. these dolphins are depressed, they have feelings & a consciousness, they know whats going on and they are aware of it. Please if you all really love dolphins I ask you nicely to watch the movie "The cove"

[fuerTiere]

Es ist unverantwortlich, diese hochentwickelten Tiere in Gefangenschaft zu halten, weil ihnen selbst die elementarsten Grundbedürfnisse vorenthalten werden: In freier Wildbahn leben Delfine in Gruppen von bis zu 100 Tieren zusammen, erreichen Geschwindigkeiten von bis zu 50 km/h, können bis zu 500 Meter tief tauchen und werden 10 Jahre älter als in Gefangenschaft.

[599shouka]

that better be a deep pool



[LinniPanda]

why are so many dolphins in such a small pool?

[swimstein]

you can't hold there.

[madiOcrazy1]

Hey I have a idea! How about a tank that looks like and as big as a beach? It's just like a ginourmus swimming pool execept dolphins acsully get to swim fast and have more space to mate.

[SneezingTurtles]

BOOOOOO DONT KEEP DOLPHINS CAPTIVE!!!!!

[gally50]

Dolphins are intelligent and social creatures that, in the wild, interact with hundreds of pod-mates, hunt communally, and have entire coastlines as their playground. In captivity, all of this is lost. Social partners are restricted to a handful of tank-mates. Captive dolphins are fed dead fish (wild dolphins only catch and eat live fish; they never eat dead fish) and they face a profound reduction in space and stimulation. - SOURCE WSPA

[godsmiracle123]

have they 4gotten the times when the wahles & dolphins become angry they start attacking their owners coz they r just fedup of living in a tank

[galoissportyti]

i love to see dolphins ...

[LugalaiEstonia]

@oasj the calves names are Timonthy and Martha, according to Phinventory.

[Godzilla6238]

y r they in a swimming pool...seriously they need some space

[xDaretobeDifferentx]

This is a HUMAN swimming pool. Seaworld and Marineland are bad enough to begin with. Dont even get me started on this place. Do the Russians honestly believe that this environment is suitable for these beautiful creatures? If so,Russia would have more hope if it were run by monkeys! They should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves as a country for robbing these beautiful creatures of their freedom and enslaving them for entertainment. What an utter DISGRACE!

[mmovks]

why the fuck is it in a swimming pool? O_o

[dudexdue]

This is so cruel, I have seen bigger kids swimming pools than the pathetic tank they have these dolphins in

[AndrewRandrianasulu]

I can't claim i understand dolphins. But back in time i was with them - there was many sad, and very sad moments in their captive life, and it was not very obvious for naive observer, but after some time you started to understand this part of their life ...

[Lutanamo]

Actually it is freedom vs. safety. It's a dangerous life to be a dolphin in the wild, there are sharks, human's fishing nets, oil pollution, underwater nuclear tests, you name it. There might not always be enough food and so on. Dolphins have such rich inner life that they do not suffer from external imprisonment like humans do. Their 'prisons' are usually more free and pleasant than human's prisons. We are all imprisoned in one way or another. The poverty, for example.. hard work etc.

[metridium]

Aquariums, particularly marine mammal circus acts, are bound to disappear as the public is educated and revolts against it.
-Jean-Michel Cousteau

[Lutanamo]

Yeah, french people think all people revolt for any reason.. but why would anyone revolt against taking care of the dolphins and protecting them from harm? Which is, incedently, what the dolphinariums accomplish effectively.

[metridium]

To use the rigors of the wild as a justification

for the conditions of captivity is misleading and

disingenuous. This argument implies that the natural

state is an evil to be avoided and that the captive

environment is the preferred state. The suggestion

is that animals must be protected from the very

surroundings that sustain them. Naomi A. Rose PhD- 2009 P.S. You're likely not familiar with the numbers of those dead... or you too would agree with the Park Industry's many distractors.

[majaorca100]

it's wrong to keep them in a swimming pool...I bet it's far to shallow for them, how deep is such a swimming pool? About 2,3 or something? That's about as long as a dolphin is...also, they don't see daylight and are confined in a building for their whole lives...this dolphinarium looks like a very depressive place...

[Lutanamo]

It's not too shallow necessarily, if there's like 4-6 meters depth. Some dolphins don't ever usually go deeper than that anyway, as they live near the coast and if there's enough food, they don't move from that kind of spot much. They are spiritual masters, which means they don't require external freedom as much. Besides, freedom in the sea.. there's no scenery or anything, just water and sky. Even human Zen masters don't suffer from imprisonment, why would the dolphins?

[nosfero]

Great to see more and more idiots on Utube who, because they cant argue since their brain is fucking retard just put a -1 bad comment to the people who really have knowledge and understanding on these matters and in this case dolfins.. So idiots why dont u just get the fuck out of utube and leave us alone ?

[gween]

God gave us such wonderful friends! protect the wild!

[greensoso]

yh it cute and all that but i think they sould be in the wild still x

[kiyokobelanio]

male dolphins can learn at the same rate as females; maybe even faster. just like humans, we all learn at different paces; and even so i may be really good in one subject like math, as someone else is really great in science. measuring intelligence is quite difficult.

what they are describing about the mothers "punishing" their calf by pushing them down may actually be the mothers trying to help their baby increase their breath hold.

[majaorca100]

it's annoying to always get thumbs down when you say something about the bad sides of captivity.

[olle8804]

I agree. thos pro captive are so, cant stand hering about the backside of sw!

[strangelittlegirl27]

OMG Look at how big that tank is ITS HUGE! and look at all the natural sealife and fish! Look at how far they can swim and look at how natural it all looks!

Oooh what a great place, WHY DON'T WE ALL SUPPORT THEM AND BUY TICKETS! WHY DON'T WE JUST IGNORE ALL THE PROTESTORS BECAUSE THEY ARE EVIL HUMANS TRYING TO SAVE THE INNOCENT!

WAKE UP YOU NASTY CAPTIVITYOPHILES!

Humans do have hearts right?..hrmm its possible

[RingneckDoveFan]

Hmmmm...

Ya know what strangelittlegirl27? Not only have I discovered you to be a stupid, strange little girl, but if we did support this facility, they will have enough money to improve the living habitat of these dolphins!

Good thinking strange little girl!

[imajammywotsit]

that pool is tiny. those poor things. compare it to the ocean. it's cruel. stop funding these parks by going. although to be fair an olympic size swimming pool is not much smaller than the sea world tanks which are just weird shapes to make you not realise how small the dolphins tanks actually are. however, the fact this is indoors is totally unacceptable. it's all cruel and very sad.

[captivitykills]

A prison is a prison with or without water.

Russias dolphins shows are crap holes just like MSQ and all the others in the US. Using that as an example of how well captive dolphins are cared for is a real joke! you captivityophiles are grasping at straws as always. and orkidfan101 your ignorance is showing again! If you have the courage call the 24/7 dolphin complaint line 954 830 3511 and speak to the real RUSS RECTOR..operators standing by!! if you got the stones, I know you dont!

[RingneckDoveFan]

I recently looked in the dictionary and the only definition I found for "crap holes" is YOU!

You have to stop living with your opinions. These dolphins have no idea they are trapped in prisons! As long as they have food, shelter, and love, I really don't think they care. In jails/prisons, you don't get love. Not to mention the food is shit, AND you barley get any shelter at all. You really need to go look these things up.

[missnicky20]

Dolphins usually swim 100 miles a day in the wild. This pool is much too small. They will never get enough exercise. Plus, live fish is more nutritious than dead fish. You are the stupid one. Get your facts straight.

[RingneckDoveFan]

haha.

No

Just because they are in a pool, doesn't mean they can't get enough exercise.

WHO SAYS THEY CAN'T SWIM 100 MILES IN THE TANK? GOING AROUND AND AROUND? SAME THING AS A STRAIGHT LINE.

YOU are the stupid one.

[missnicky20]

In the Sea World tanks, which are much better than this swimming pool in Russia, dolphins would have to swim 500 times to get ten miles in. It's just not big enough. Anyway, you talk about dolphins as if they are stupid. They aren't. They are fully aware that they are stuck. And yes, captivity DOES kill. Dolphins will live much longer in the wild.

[RingneckDoveFan]

Dolphins that are born in those pools have no idea they are "confined." To you maybe you know, but if you were born in a box, and knew NOTHING else, then you would not consider yourself confined.

The dolphins really don't care if they are in a swimming pool or SeaWorld tank..as long as they can swim freely. I use to live in a REALLY small house and it was my first house, lived their for 11 years. I had the chance to move to a huge house and I chose the small house over the big one.

cont.

[RingneckDoveFan]

What I am trying to say is..your wrong. You think just because a wild dolphin can swim a straight line for boring after boring day on end, its no different than swimming in a circle boring day after day..as long as these animals are cared and loved, have food, and are safe from predators. THEY DON'T CARE! Being wild is no different than captive. A captive dolphin can do whatever they please, and so can a wild one. Either way, they still get fed, loved by the trainers, and receive full vet care

[LoveforOrkid]

You can't necassarily say what you think is a fact. How do you know if dolphins don't care or not? You're not a dolphin, or to read a dolphin's mind. Instead of insulting others, how about you respect other opinions.

[LoveforOrkid]

Wild dolphins who have lived in the wild do know if they are confined or not. Dolphins aren't that stupid and how do you know if they don't mind or not? That's your opinion. Several dolphin species commit suicide shortly after being in captivity. If you compare that tank to their home, obviously they would know which one is their true home because there would be plants, [depending where they lived] coral, and even sand. That tank has nothing in there, what do you expect?

[LoveforOrkid]

Just because you THINK you have similarities with the dolphins, doesn't mean you are right. Just like humans, everyone has different personalities. Also, there is a difference if they know they're confined or not. Look at that pool, sheltered inside a building while they were wild. Do you think seeing several light bulbs and the same coloured boring sky would be the world? I don't think so.

[RingneckDoveFan]

I'm talking about captive dolphins. BORN in captivity.

[LoveforOrkid]

Ah, my deep apologies.

[RingneckDoveFan]

Captivty doesn't kill. Well guess what stupid, THE WILD KILLS TOO! Every living thing dies because of something. And Iv never heard of a disease caused by captivity. Animals and people die everyday. Do people in jail die, and if they do, do you say PRISON KILLS?! Um no. You don't. Look at a list of CAUSES OF DEATH on a deceased animal page. Being confined in an area is not one of those reasons. Stop talking ragtime.

[kiyokobelanio]

actually studies now confirm that dolphins under human care actually live longer than those out in the wild. the average life for an atlantic bottlenose dolphin in the wild is about 25 to 30 years. they have natural predators, shark and killer whales as well as their number one threat: humans. pollution in their environment can cause harm to them.

dolphins under human care on the other hand, have the best nutrition, great medical care, and can live up to their 40s and 50s.

[Starcutter20]

so freedom vs. safety

[Lutanamo]

Indeed. Besides, the ocean doesn't really offer much anyway - it's like one big dull straight highway.. you see basically the same thing no matter where you go, unless you travel to different coasts, and how long can you keep that up anyway? So I don't think dolphins get bored very easily anyway so their 'confinement' won't cause much harm. They are celebrities, everyone loves them, gives them applause, they don't have to worry about food, clothing, apartment, loneliness, status, commuting..

[ShamuKid]

I think that pool is for dolphins that are having a baby. There might be a bigger pool for the dolphins that are not. Like in Sea World, they have a smaller and less deep tank so the babys cant swim to far down and drown.

[olle8804]

lol. Thats a joke.

[imajammywotsit]

because in the ocean there are nurseries just for all the baby dolphins. idiot.

[ShamuKid]

Excuse me! I was just saying an opinion. Yours does not madder any way, so shut up bozo.

[xladychaos]

Regardless of how they're treated by their trainers,they should absolutely not be held in an olympic INDOOR pool. Wrong.

[OrkidFan101]

How is it wrong? The dolphins don't know they are in a pool? They are taken care of well aren't they? Isen't that what should matter? Yeah...living your life in an indoor pool may suck..but that doesn't mean the dolphins are unhappy.

[RingneckDoveFan]

Anyways, how is a tank different from an indoor swimming pool?

[anex05]

how can people say these dolphins get treated bad... they eat better then i do!

[Destro26]

Treated like what? The dolphins trainers spend incredible amounts of time with the animals giving them everything they need. This is not cruel. Maybe if we were a little bit more considerate about how we pollute, destroy, and fish away most of their habitat this wouldn't be an option.

[xxfab08xx]

@Destro26 giving them everything they need! what they need is 2 be in the wild with their real family groups these trainers dont no shit! "they can't hear our voices" dolphins have incredible hearing! and yes this is very cruel do you evan know how those dolphins came 2 be in those swimming pools no i bet you dont!

[ShadowedKnight]

@Destro26 Did you know aquariums give dolphins medication for ulcers? Keeping an intelligent animal in such stressful situations where it needs medication for ulcers is cruel. Not to mention that many aquariums support the mass murder of dolphins by buying them from places that slaughter thousands every year. Most dolphins captured for aquariums are young females. During capture they get the privilage of seeing and hearing their entire family be murdered. How's that for cruel. huh?

[finepoint6]

@Destro26 not cruel?there has been records of dolphins purposly killing them selfs because of the conditions they were in?and it would be MUCH better for them to die in the wild because this is just a death sentence in its self ,their little ''positive rewards'' thing that use to teach the dolphins tricks is just another term for ''food deprevation'' your discusting for sayin its not cruel....and trust me a 25/25 6ft deep swimming pool isnt every thing they need

[readthisman]

PEOPLE ARE SO MEAN!!! They keep these poor animals in cages. ANIMALS HAVE FEELINGS TO!!!! How would humans like to be treated that way????? HUH!!!WHAT KNOW!!!!

[borgfeldt]

Good advice, Would you like to our first volunteer, I promise I won't torture you long

[kikyokikass]

i dont understand why all of the comments below are negative.. they are just speaking there mind. its an opinion...

i wish to see more dolphins in the wild also..

abviosly he hasnt learned there 'language'

;~;

[majaorca100]

I agree

[xDaretobeDifferentx]

This is beyond cruel!!!! There in a goddamn swimming pool for god sake!

[peepchick101]

Dolphins don't belong in small, barren concrete pools - they should be free in the wild. Dolphins in the wild live on average 35-50 years, while killer whales live 50-90 years. In captivity, dolphins live a mere 5-8 years, while killer whales only live 15. These animals have brains 5 times the size of our own; they shouldn't be forced to be our circus clowns!

[coolillboi]

are u crazy? dolphins dont live 5-8 years in captivity they live 25-30 years! and same with orcas

[peepchick101]

How long are these intelligent beings living in captivity, compared to in the wild? Exactly.

There are several wild orcas in the Southern Resident community of the USA alone that are over the age of 60 and two or three of them are nearing the age of 90. In captivity, the oldest orca EVER was/is 42 years old. She is a very rare exception though.

Also, you have to admit, that is an extremely pathetic looking "tank." More like a swimming pool.. looks shallow, too. What fun for a dolphin!

[majaorca100]

I think that actually IS a swimming pool :( and orcas live quite a bit shorter on average than in the wild. Look how many orcas have died this and last year. It's very sad. You say 25-30 years, coolillboi, but orcas can live so much longer and 30 years is actually short for them.

[majaorca100]

it's seems like when you don't fully agree with captivity, you always get many 'thumbs down'...that's stupid.

[missnicky20]

Captivity is wrong. You should be held in a swimming pool and see how much you like it.

[olle8804]

Orcass may live up to 20-25 years in CAPTIVITY, but in wild they reach an age of 60-80 years or even more in some cases. Dolphin dont reach that age very often they use to die around age 8-10, easy to look up!

[OrkidFan101]

Are you stupid? Do you even know what barren means? "bare: providing no shelter or sustenance." lol. You have got to be kidding me. These are indoor pools! How could there be no shelter when the damn pool is INDOORS?! AND dolphins in captivity can live to be 50 years old! How are you getting 8?! This tank may be a swimming pool, but these animals are taken care of very well. Some captive dolphins live to be in their 60's!! You have got to stop living in the past Ms. Russ Rector.

[olle8804]

mygood. You belive what trainers tells u I see. This is a fishbowl just like lolitas tank. You full of b-shit, dolphins in captivity dont reach that age u tell. My good!

How are they taken care of when they dont got much space to turn around in and it looks like my local swingpool, no rocks and other things. Open your eyes!

[Dolphinatheart606]

olle8804, you're being exposed to exaggerated information, obviously. We are in an era where captive bottlenose dolphins are reaching well up into their 30s, 40s and 50s--and many that are outliving their wild counterparts. Today, calf mortality in the wild (50% within the first year) is much higher than that of captivity.

Just because they live in an indoor tank does not mean they are not taken care of. You're being biased and close-minded.

[olle8804]

have trainers told you that or is that something you truly deeply know?

So explain then how they take care of this animals. They take them kicking and screaming from their familis in the wild. They live in small tank no toys to play with such as rocks, sea grass etc. They are held inside. Are that well taken care of. In russia they still capture whales in wild! so think again1

[Dolphinatheart606]

YES, they were captured. YES, many have died. But the fact that is undeniable no matter what "side" you are on, is that the trainers care deeply for their animals and put a lot of effort into taking care of them. If you would actually do your homework, you would find that MOST of the dolphins in captivity right now were born there. Regardless of who was born and who was captured, they are still given plenty of care and affection from their caretakers.

[Dolphinatheart606]

just because they were captured from the wild does not mean they are not taken care of. And what about the captive-borns? It's amusing how you are talking like you think you know more about this subject than anyone else in the world.

[olle8804]

I dont think I know more about this subject, but I think you think so. I just saying that keeping this animals in captivity is wrong, thats my oppinion. And just keeping them in small indoor pools are also wrong. you think diffrent then me and I cant understand why,

So you think its okay to captive animals from the wild? In russia asia and ptherp laces around the world they still capture whales from wild!

[Starcutter20]

freedom vs. safety again.

[AndrewRandrianasulu]

NO freedom . _and_ NO safety. Not or. Just nothing. (and this is not something i know second-hand)

[Lutanamo]

Please explain what you mean. Dolphinariums are certainly 100% shark-free, oil-pollution-free, fishnet-free and so on. Dolphins are completely SAFE there. I think if I had to choose between being a cocoa plantasion worker with only a few hours of sleep every day and practically no pay and doing tricks for two hours every day, I would very gladly choose the dolphin's life. Sure their lives could be better, but they are better in the dolphinariums than they would be in the sea for so many reasons

[AndrewRandrianasulu]

Re: dangers.

Captivity is NOT safe from another set of dangers. [including nets, and fire. and even financial fault] You may think whatever you want, but lock itself somewhere, for even few months, and watch results ... your rich inner life will help you only to some degree.

For historical example, look for

67.55.50.201/lilly/womandolph1­2x.html

reality IS reality, not our imagination, nor something we want to believe. Various kinds of deprivation will play their role, anyway. Try@yourself.

[AnchNY]

@Lutanamo Do you really prefer living in a small room all your life than being free? Being deprived of food and forced to do tricks for dead food? Never get to run as fast as you could as Dolphins love to swim fast and long distance. They love to surf and dive deep. They could do NONE of these in captivities!!

[majaorca100]

I don't see why your comment is rated thumbs down. You're right, they shouldn't be in concrete pools. However I don't think all current captive orcas should be released, I don't think they'll survive. They are too dependent on humans. We can't change it now..maybe only if they would stop breeding them in captivity...but well, they bring in the big bugs...:( There's nothing there could be done that to care for the captives as good as we can, and treat them well.

[olle8804]

maybe we cant. But what we can do is stop the breeding, let the orcas live a life close to the wild. ech them how to hunt their own food, less contact with humans, exapnd the tanks, stop with the shows. Let them hunt their own food. let them live a life close to the wild life. that is more educational then see them jump hihg in the air!

[Dolphinatheart606]

Yeah, try to stop a 10,000 pound animal from having sex and refuse them the human affection they have known all of their lives. There's a brilliant idea.

[olle8804]

lol u think they mate. you know that most of case the human has played god.

they was born in the ocean and will die under the human race as slaves

[OrkidForever]

Are you trying to claim that cetaceans don't mate in captivity?

[olle8804]

yes, not in many cases. humans often take sperm from the male and inject to the female. Look it up!

[OrkidForever]

I'm not stupid. I know how cetaceans are AI'd. However you're making yourself look really uneducated on this subject by thinking they are AI'd most of the time, which is the complete opposite. In most cases the births are a result of natural matings. How do you explain that only 2 of the world's captive orcas were born from AI?

[olle8804]

I have heard diffrent information. And what I have heard its not so often that they mate.

We have looked on diffrent informaition, the trainers onlt know, and we dont know if they talking the truth or if they lie!

Is up to us to belive what we want to belive,

[OrkidForever]

No, see, the problem is that you are getting your "informaton" from either anti-captivity/untrue sources or you're just making this kind of stuff up to support your opinions. It's blatantly obvious to people who know the truth. Marine park regulars, people who work/have worked there, and others who research captive information from credible sources know what they're talking about. You, don't.

So are you denying the fact that 2 of the worldwide captive orcas are born from AI?

[RingneckDoveFan]

lol And where have you heard this "different information" from? Your own mind? I don't anyone who reads your comment agrees. I wouldn't consider you different information information at all, nothing but your dumb opinions!

[RingneckDoveFan]

lol And where have you heard this "different information" from? Your own mind? I believe anyone who reads your comment agrees. I wouldn't consider your "different information" information at all, nothing but your dumb opinions! Why listen to the trainers? Because they are correct. Who else are we suppose to listen to?

You? ***

[olle8804]

my good you so litle I bet you are around 14 years old and belives what the trainers tell you. In my oppinions keeping these animals in small tanks (alltanks around the world is to small for these animals) is wrong. I belive hard in that. Okay you belive your shit, but think again before calling anyone stupid or anythung like that that not think the same as you, thats shows how a litle person you are.

Much fact points that captivity kills! search the internet and you find it! merry xmas

[RingneckDoveFan]

14? Age doesn't tell weither your smart or not. You could be 40 and still listen to the trainers. --Duhh

Just goes to show how stupid you are. lol Don't even bother replying to this comment, because either way, your wrong. :/ -- XD

(Captivity doesn't kill, Pneumonia kills.)

[olle8804]

ha who is stupid, I just say what I think and I am stupid for that? Am I stupid beacuse I look at both side of a problem ´before picking side? Pneumonia kills evry animal in captivity? Yes often the trainers say its that curse why they died, halyn,taku, ku much much more. I dont belive that....some case yes, every case no!

Captivity kills, they got it in the small fishbowls so yes captivity kills!

[RingneckDoveFan]

Yes.

And by the way, read over your comment before you type it, because you have a load of spelling and grammar mistakes. Which makes you sound even more stupid.

[olle8804]

So this is what this is about my spelling. thought we was talking about somethin else.

[imajammywotsit]

actually there have been experiments and dolphins which have never even lived in the wild knew how to use their echolocation and caught wild live salmon in their tanks when it was put in there. anyway, if they are able to teach them all those stupid, unnatural tricks then they are able to teach them how to hunt for their food in the wild.
