They say it is for scientific research and then they eat them. <br /><br />Tom, I don't think I have ever seen dolphins in Cornwall. Basking sharks yes, dolphins no.<br /><br />Rusty Duck, I feel very privileged to have seen them and swam with them. In Greece, there was a huge pod, they were jumping at the bow of the yacht. We stopped turned the boat into the wind and had our feet in the water. they came up and nudged your feet to make you get into the water. it was amazing.<br /><br />Susie, I think I would cry and then try to do a Free Willy moment and help them escape. I would be banned from SeaWorld I am sure.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-68140990769530384022014-01-21T13:24:55.305+00:002014-01-21T13:24:55.305+00:00I've only seen them at Sea World.

This has been going on since time immemorial. When I lived in Japan in the late seventies most Japanese I knew detested this custom but it goes on today.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-47524804256526830382014-01-21T08:59:41.444+00:002014-01-21T08:59:41.444+00:00I too would feel like crying if I ever saw one - a...I too would feel like crying if I ever saw one - and I don't think I ever have, not even in a zoo (when I didn't have the qualms about going to zoos that I have now).<br />From what I know, dolphins are elegant and graceful, but the crucial determining factor for me would be their evident intelligence, which makes their vulnerability to man's follies and cruelties especially hard to bear. And for that reason seeing them living wild in their natural habitat would be unbearably poignant. Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.com
