My trip to Sea world

After thinking about it for so long with my Boyfriend, i decided to take a trip to sea world to see how the animals were treated.
One thing i must admit on my trip there was, the animal care takers and trainers really look like they love the animals,i mean you see the love in them, but i just don't know why if you love the animals so much and you study so much about them, then they should understand that these beautiful intelligent creatures are not meant for captivity.

If i know this and i dont even study them then they should know it so much more.

I know, how wonderful it would be to swim with dolphins, i wish i could, but i don't think people understand how bad it is for them when you do do it.

I just came across a picture on facebook of a girl swimming and kissing a Dolphin, i know it looks beautiful but pictures like that make you want to do it, and that harms them.

Another thing i learned from watching 'The Cove' is, a Dolphins most deceiving feature is its mouth, it always looks like they are always smiling but they aren't.

Here are some facts for you guys.
Swimming with wild dolphins offers a thrilling opportunity to get close to one of the world's most intelligent species, but a new study has shown that the activity may be harmful to the well-being of the animals. While organizations such as the Humane Society have long criticized captive swim with the dolphins (SWTD) programs, less attention has been paid to the effects of wild SWTD programs. The new study, conducted by British researchers from Newcastle University who analyzed the effects of SWTD tours on bottlenose dolphins off the coast of Tanzania, found that these programs are highly stressful for dolphins because they disrupt natural resting, feeding and social behavior.

Ric O' Barry states:

"They're in it for money. Take it away, and they'll quit doing this,"

"Dolphins are free ranging intelligent, and complex wild animals, and they belong in the oceans and not playing the clown in our human schemes"
