Ever since I was a baby and ever since I was taken to sea world every summer and now I have always loved dolphins

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.

@deni0609 No I think it's all included in the price of admission. At least it was when I went.

I got to pet a dolphin at sea world once! It was really cool! They're really smooth! Definitely one of my favorite animals on the whole planet!

[gally50]

"Does it cost much to pet them?" - a few bucks for you - a lifetime in captivity for them.

[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.
