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.
Dolphin and Whale encounters all over the world still amaze humans like not much else...if you experience them in the wild it's even more fascinating. Check my video for one of these wild encounters in Western Australia.
Dolphins are beautiful creatures. I live in Hawaii and im proud to say that me and my buddies helped rescue a trapped wild dolphin in a net while we were boogie boarding.
30000 are corralled, 1-3 goes to entertain the masses at an aquarium near you, the rest are slaughtered, mercury laden, sold as whale meat. Please don't endorse this barbaric practice.
@CaliforniaTravelTips its a global thing, and includes all marine parks in the world even if they don't buy japanese dolphins. Japanese dolphins travell all over the world, no one knows they are captured in japan.
dont do it or do serious research first alot of these are taken out of the wild in a completely barbaric way (watch the cove) other on in concrete pens in the middle of no where and in some on the "wild" dolphin encounter places they will kill the babies so the mothers will come back every year to morn. that all being said it is an amazing experience just research it first dont go on whats said dig dipper.
Dolphins are so beautiful and intelligent...too bad they are kept in small enclosures and taught inane tricks to amuse humans. I wish that dolphins could be free...they're so much more beautiful in the wild.
i remember doing this when i was 7!!! :D i loved it and would NEVER regret it :) but i did it at the one in flordia i think :) the dolphins were so sweet!!! :)
happy? thats all a trick..im sorry :( but first of all their smile appearance is how they are born..they can be being slaughtered and still have that 'smile' and of course they have to look cheerful otherwise they wont be fed thir fish morcel which is supposed to be a 'treat'..seriously go see wild ones now they ARE happy!
I double tapped the screen to zoom in on the video right as the ripple effect played in the beginning of the video! Haha. I was like "an interactive video!?" lol
Cute!I LOVE Dolphins almost as much as any girl likes Diamonds and shopping.I wanna go to SeaWorld some day.It would be a really educational trip and believe me when I say...I need a lot of Education.NO JOKE.I'm pretty stupid.I'm pretty disapointed in myself.
@sweetdramaqueen2019 To get a job as a dolphin trainer you need a college degree,need to know how to scuba dive,and very strong swimming.The test is that you needa freestyle swim of 120 yards,swim under water about 125 feet under dolphin stadium,and a surface dive from the surface to the bottom of a 26 feet deep pool.I would reccamend a college degree in Marine Biology,Experience with public speaking,and experience with animals before.Hope It Helped!
I have in my channel a video when we were out in the sea and we saw dolphins.We stoped and they came right next to us and i actually touched em..You will see we are in the open see..It is amazing..If you can drop by and leave a comment..THEY ARE FREE!!!as they must be
My kid is 10 years old and he asks me if he can be a dolphin trainer and he is bad at math and swedish (i live in sweden) he says but he is really good at english. I am wondering if he has a chance? If u answer thank you.
lol 1:28 i once had to hold dolphins hand or wutever lfmao but now in my country has a dolphins show and there was dolphin construction now dolphins are in greecee :( i miss them so much
I went to a place like that and we got to swim with the dolphins in Sea World, and I think our dolphin was named Sharkie. Anyways, it was so cool. Like after the fun time and stuff we were going to leave that thing, but I looked over the railing and saw a Dolphin swimming around, so I was like, "Sharkie?" Thinking it was our dolphin. And to my surprise, it turned it's head and looked up at me. I was like, Squeeee!!!
@TheKevieH Dolphins are not scary at all. I swam with some as a kid. One fo the best memories as a kid. I jsut wanted to swim away with one of them. They are so playfull
such a shame to see these beautiful creatures kept in a small tanks and used as slaves to entertain humans. They should be swimming free - in the wild they would swim 65 to 85km a day, these tanks must feel so claustrophobic for them. How can anyone see the pleasure of locking up these creatures?
I am a 13 year old dolphin trainer at Marineland, everybody knows me there, HA! You wheren't training like the pro's! You didn't even swim with them! I get to swim with them every weekend for free at marineland Florida cause i train them there. NO KIDDING!
dolphin has always been ma fav animal. i went to sea world in san diego in 2007 i got to touch a dolphin but ive always wanted to swim with a dolphin :)
@MelissaAndLaura Dont listen to anyone who pulls the "no one knows where these dolphins come from" crap, American marine parks (seaworld included) no longer capture whales or dolphins from the wild and havent done so in nearly 25 years :)
whats this music at the end cause it is a track called change by sugababes! but this is different so this must of been what it was sampled from and there only really known here in the uk ???
Any one who wants to swim with Dolphins should watch the documentary "The Cove " see the death and cruelty you are supporting . I never thought about what goes on behind the since in order to get these dolphins to the fish tank in order for us to get a good old laugh out of them. I beg everyone to stop swimming with dolphins stop going to SeaWorld or any other giant Aquariums. It is truly sad what we are supporting.
@MelissaAndLaura they seem happy because they have been in captivity since they were born. they don't know any better.
that doesnt make it right though..
what if after a person was born they were put in jail and spent the rest of their life locked in one room?? they would probably be happy if they had music and food to eat and didn't know what other free humans are doing but it doesn't change the fact that they're locked up for life.
Aww Sandy! I've swam with Sandy every year (except for one year) since I was 6 years old! The year I did not swim with her I swam with Maggie and Daphne. Sandy's trainer Mike took my under his wing and always brought me to her! I also swam with her during her pregnancy! Now I watch her baby Sophie and her in the new show Blue Horizons!
@MelissaAndLaura There is no way for a tiny pool to compare to the ocean. The ocean is a completely alien environment to most humans. Dolphins do not belong in captivity. If you look at an animal in the zoo they might at least have trees and branches. They dolphins have no where to go and nothing to do.
They can only swim slowly in circle and can't even use their sonar. They rely much more on sound than on vision. That becomes a little useless when you know where each side of the tank is.
@MelissaAndLaura - Seriously watch the cove. Ask yourself where these dolphins come from. It's so sad to see how many dolphins die due to the methods in which they're caught. The entire animal captivity industry in my opinion should be obsolete. Who wants to see lions sleep at a zoo when you can watch the Battle at Kruger on youtube anyway. Animals belong in the wild. Who are we to lock them in cages for purely entertainment value? Makes me sick
Anytimee! :) i saw the video of when if u wanted to be a dolphin trainer and u would have to swim under water thats like 130 feet without breathing!. do u really have to do that? lol cause i wnna be one or a marine biologist and i cant do the under water thing!!! lol
@gabbygirly444 Better stick with the marine biologist field. You'll still get to see dolphins, but in their natural habitat. I think that swimming part is definitely required for being a trainer. :)
I swam with dolphins in key largo at dolphin cove, it was an amazing experience, when i watched this video i thought u had an amazing expierence also! :)
ugh alot of people dont get it.....most dolphins in captivity are born there, and it would be more harsh to free then if they were because they would die either from starvation or predators. also you cannnot say that the dolphins are unhappy in captivity or else they wouldnt eat or interact with guests. if u ask me dolphins enjoy interacting with people and performing even if there tank is on the small side.
i love dolphins sososososososos much they r so cute i want to swim with them sososo much. it is my dream i want to be a dolphin traner i have ben a suba diver for 2 years.. I LOVE DOLPHINS
Just because the dolphins are always smiling and acting happy and doing tricks does not mean they are truly happy on the outside. dolphins do not deserve to be held in captivity like this. They are one of the most intelligent animals in the world and should be respected as individuals not as some circus animal. They are not here for human entertainment and should be able to live their own life in the wild without boundaries. Please watch "The Cove" if you seriously think that this is okay.
Dolphins are the most intelligent animal,even dogs are smart and monkeys,cats has got lovely behaviour but not smart as dogs and dolphins.

ugh alot of people dont get it.....most dolphins in captivity are born there, and it would be more harsh to free then if they were because they would die either from starvation or predators. also you cannnot say that the dolphins are unhappy in captivity or else they wouldnt eat or interact with guests. if u ask me dolphins enjoy interacting with people and performing even if there tank is on the small side.

Just because the dolphins are always smiling and acting happy and doing tricks does not mean they are truly happy on the outside. dolphins do not deserve to be held in captivity like this. They are one of the most intelligent animals in the world and should be respected as individuals not as some circus animal. They are not here for human entertainment and should be able to live their own life in the wild without boundaries. Please watch "The Cove" if you seriously think that this is okay.
