They don't have opposable thumbs, or even HANDS, smartass. It'd be hard to invent and build a computer with your MOUTH while UNDERWATER.

Dolphins aren't as smart as humans? THEY'RE APPARENTLY MUCH MORE INTELLIGENT THAN YOU, AT LEAST.

Are dolphins the cutest thing ever? press 7 for the answer.

Should dolphins continue to be kept in captivity? Press 0 for the answer

@adbocode yep your right and also these dolphins in this video were wild at one time and taiji is killing them by 30 or 40 daily and these dolphin so called trainers go out with these fisherman before these dolphins are slaughtered and pick out the prettiest ones and pull them out of the water and they are sent were ever and the rest of the pods are brutally killed !!!!!! its disgusting !

[xanna1100]

@iAmy122 Actually, Sharks aren't mammals, so.... no.

@adbocode I agree, but we do need to keep them in some form of captivity to fully understand them. Once we do that (and we already partially have) then they should be free to go.
