This PSA shines some much needed light on the sad, very high pitched, and painfully true topic of Dolphins in in captivity. Is it what it seems? Watch and find out....

  • @vspinkgirl That is certainly not true. One need not starve himself or be ill to be unhappy, nor does one even need to be depressed to be unhappy or uncomfortable. Dolphins were designed for an oceanic habitat, not a tank. They typically swim over 50 miles a day, not in circles. Not in the aquariums you support you say? What aquarium is good for a free-ranging animal? They are wild animals. Don't you think they should remain in the ocean, where they were created to be?

  • this video is little to trippy and dramatic, but the video does have a good message. dolphins are so cooperative because the have highly developed mammalian brains, meaning, they arent vicious fearful defensive creatures, they understand our power and that is why they submit. we make them our slaves and they know to be good slaves because if they are bad they wont get food and may even get hurt/eaten(eaten paranoia; because in animal terms why else would we keep them around like that?)

  • calm down!

  • # When a baby dolphin is born in captivity, the news is usually kept secret until the calf shows signs of survival. Although marine mammals do breed in captivity, the birth rate is not nearly as successful as the one in the wild, with high infant mortality rates.

    # Wild dolphins can swim 40 to 100 miles per day - in pools they go around in circles.

  • Every seven years, half of all dolphins in captivity die from capture shock, pneumonia, intestinal disease, ulcers, chlorine poisoning, and other stress-related illnesses. To the captive dolphin industry, these facts are accepted as routine operating expenses.

  • Just so YOU know:

    # 53% of those dolphins who survive the violent capture die within 90 days.

    # The average life span of a dolphin in the wild is 45 years; yet half of all captured dolphins die within their first two years of captivity. The survivors last an average of only 5 years in captivity.

  • I like dolphins! Go bug the people who dont like them! Does that make sense?!!?????

  • HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA honest i hate dolphins now that i have seen this video. and that picture of that fat lady on the dolphin was nothing less than hysterical. eat more dolphin
