Begging or aggression?

I'm hoping aggression as it is sad to see a mighty and intelligent hunter reduced to living in a small unsuitable pool and and begging for their next meal.

Well... I'd be willing to bet neither. They are indeed intelligent! I just guess that when you're swimming in a small pool all day getting offered food practically every hour... You start to just get use to it... It is a a shame to see them reduced to that, though. But, it's still cool to get an opportunity to touch them if you haven't ever! Swimming with dolphins is so much better though!

Hmmm. Well I suppose life inmates in high security prison get used to their small cells eventually too.

Weird analogy... But yeah. That's pretty much it. Put anything somewhere for their life or most of it & you will see they will most likely grow used to it. It won't even bother them. Why are rich kids so snobby??? Because they're raised that way! There's a number of things you could compare the dolphin's situation to.

Yes...

But of course most prison inmates and rich kids aint dragged from their families in the dead of night by armed men and neither they or their families know what has happened to each other. There is also the choice in a prison to not work and you still get food my law. And of course if you are in high security you get the liberty of bars between you and the guy that wants to kill you and that other guy who wants to rape you. AND, of course you can get on the phone and talk to the family you rarely see, and they know exactly where you. And if you're lucky you get a 4 acre playing field to run around in. And who has ever heard of an eye damaging gas being constantly in the air at a prison?

I suppose so... It does seem wrong that they would separate family members like that... But, at least those that give birth while there get to keep their children. At least i think they do. They should, IDK.

Well their are the usual things. The babies are usually separated to a new pen until they reach maturely to try (in vain) to shake the mothers maternal instinct. And maybe, just maybe she will be allowed to keep her child after that. But it's more likely that the child will be sold as though they are merely inanimate property.

Though hopefully it will all change soon.

Yeah... That sux. They loose their babies alot of the time... So heartbreaking...

It needs to stop.

Sign any petition you can. But be careful, there are some bastards out there who like to use dolphins as a way of getting Email addresses and phone numbers. Always check for official listing ;)

Yep... Now that i think about it, i notice something. I think humanity has developed a desire to prove it cab conquer other species... Just look at how many species of animals we've domesticated or "trained". That comes to my mind now that i think more about this stuff.

The thing though with dolphins is that they are as intelligent (in general knowledge) as a 12-15 year old human. Just like when the white man tried to train the black man; it's not gonna work.

Of course...
