Can't believe how people can't see how wrong it is to keep these animals in captivity. 'Trained to allow a gastrict tube to go down into their stomach" poor things! If they get sick all the time and you have to take blood samples and gastrict samples so often to prevent illness, then that shows that they are not healthy in captivity.
I have been asking the Indy Zoo where they purchased their dolphins from. They started off talking to me but quit answering me once I asked this question. Perhaps we should be looking more deeply.
"Alone they are bereft of defense, and when alone they exhibit their own form of "co-operation" with those who might destroy them. In the case of the dolphin, it surrenders to us, a thing we mistake for gentleness. Having surrendered vital aspects of its survival equation when taken from the group, it is much less than a complete animal." Paul Forestell Ph.D.

Thats amazing what they can train these animals to do. What I find cool is how they can train them to blow from their blow hole.
