Answer 2

Smile And The World Smiles With You. Cry, And You're On Your Own.
This is a post I wrote a year or so ago for my personal blog. It still holds true.

If I could ask you one thing, it would be to not give your money to aquariums and marine parks. Swimming with dolphins? I'll get to that another day.

Dolphins do not have smiley faces, it's just that their mouths turn up at the sides. When they do that widemouthed 'grin', they're trying to frighten you off - it's a stress reaction.

Dolphins stroke their babies with their fins as they swim belly to belly, the way a human parent holds and strokes their child.

Orca will die rather than leave a sick and/or injured baby alone. Recently, several adult orcas were trapped in an ice flow off Japan and slowly died, despite the fact that they should have been able to escape the freezing water before it closed in around them. When the bodies were eventually reached by scientists, they discovered two calves amongst the group, both sick and unlikely to have been able to keep up with the family. So the family stayed. One adult was 'holding' a calf between its fins.

This is not an isolated incident. Adult orca and dolphins stay with their family for life, even the males in transient populations who will come and go. They nurse, they caress, they play, they teach. Damn it, they have sex for fun! They have language, even family dialects. Some scientists believe dolphins have recognisable 'names' in the form of signature calls. This is not anthropomorphising, these are not human qualities in a non-human animal, they are qualities present in both.

How do dolphins and orca end up in marine parks or other 'entertainment' facilities? Breeding programmes aren't hugely successful and the calves born under these circumstances usually die very young. The majority of animals are captured in the wild. A group or pod of dolphins/orca will be hounded into shallow water and the 'pretty' ones captured and taken away calling frantically for their families. Their family may already be dead. Hacked at until the sea is deep blood red. If they're lucky they're set free traumatised beyond imagination and devastated by the loss of a parent, child or family member.

Maybe they'll be rounded up and crammed into tiny, shallow sea pens. Fed dead food, overcrowded, diseased, sunburnt...and then carried thousands of miles by plane in a tiny holding tank.

For a captive cetacean life is grim. They don't give a damn about how groovy the park looks to a human. They just know that they live in a small area surrounded by concrete, instead of swimming free in the open ocean with their family. For an animal that communicates and hunts using echolocation (like sonar but way more sophisticated) living in a concrete tank is like a traumatised, kidnapped child living in a room full of mirrors and bright light, with an acoustic system that just echoes their cries back at them. Still think they're smiling?

To eat they must perform tricks, for which they get dead fish. How would you feel having to dance for stale bread?

There are cetaceans in marine parks that the public never see. They've gone mad. They're beyond dangerous but nobody knows what to do with them. Dolphins and orcas in captivity live very short lives (and who can blame them?). In the wild a female orca can reach 80. She'll probably not make eight at Se*W*r*d. And they're the 'good' places. All over the world these wonderful animals are kept in tiny, polluted paddling pools.

They are wild animals. They kill other cetaceans. They can be incredibly vicious. They are very, very strong.

Do not give money to the people who fund the barbaric capture of wild animals. Intelligent, social, loving animals that we abuse quite terribly in the name of entertainment.

Maybe you think I'm a killjoy but I say this,"Where the f*** is the joy in this scenario?". What are we?

The UK is pretty damn poor on many things but we haven't had captive cetaceans here for many years. I am very proud that I work for an organisation that played a key role in bringing this about (before my time). What I've written here barely scratches the surface of the horror behind 'Sham*' the Happy Orca and his/her fellow animals. These magnificent creatures do not exist for our entertainment, they have full, rich lives to lead far from us and our twisted little ways.

Please don't support the people who commit these acts of extreme cruelty. Please don't teach your children that dolphins smile and jump for joy and are happy living in our world. It's a lie.

Answer 3

cry alone

(But Britney Spears did pretty good with Matt Lauer on that one)

Answer 4

Love it. Kids are terrific individual thinkers because they haven't conformed to society's way of thinking yet. I remember my 5 year old saying that he wanted a "jumpoline". I started thinking. You know, "jumpoline" makes much more sense than "trampoline".

you'll be the only one crying because the rest of the world will have pitty on you.
