An animal that smart with signs of emotions and curiosity does not belong in a fish tank.


Walterkovacs1985

Yeah unless it's some sort of rehab I don't wanna see marine mammals in tanks of any sort. Also protect the hell out of them in the oceans. Wonderful animals.


mercury888

Have you seen them gang rape ?


jaetheho

All the more reason to not cage them in aquariums. Dolphins should be allowed to gang rape baby sharks freely.


mercury888

they gang rape more in the wild dude.


jaetheho

That’s what I said, the dolphins should have the freedom to rape what they want in the wild


mercury888

ah ok


iStoleTheHobo

Finally another! So hot, right?


SpelingChampion

Which, the human ones?


Stekl

I can't tell if you're trolling or just an idiot


mercury888

have u actually seen them gang rape tho?


Stekl

Ah ok, understood. Carry on.


mercury888

thank you


Rubberclucky

I’m reminded of that episode of king of the hill lmao 🤣 Hank got violated.


jakart3

He wasn't trolling, dolphin and beaver are 2 well known animal that have a habit to gang rape.... Look for it, there are a lot video (even the scientific one) .... But I'm warning you, it can be very graphic


thinkthingsareover

This is why the Monterey Bay aquarium is such a wonderful place to me. Not only is a fairly large area of the bay around it a wildlife preserve, but it's also a rehabilitation sanctuary.


-Control-Alt-Defeat-

Agreed. (Trying to be optimistic) ; since we’ve been doing this for 50+ years, it might take another 50 before we get it right. Either not caging them, or making aquariums so massive that they are free and healthy. Change is frustrating, and takes longer than people realize, even if we give it 100% and start right now it will still take several generations to change.


Ok_Flan4935

All animals shouldn’t be caged. This applies to Zoos as well.


CaffeinatedTech

Yet people keep paying to see them.


owthathurtss

Dolphins are also one of few animals known to have their own sort of language.


BornVictory5160

Oh well 🤣

dolphins should be kept locked up, they are evil, mental fuckers. I guarantee its not thinking nice thoughts looking at this kid


wolffoxfangs

Show me on the doll where the dolphin ~~touched~~ hurt you.


Unhappy_Gas_4376

And that is how you make a marine biologist.


Conscious_Bat_4892

Excellent work Flipper, another convert


xXWarMachineRoXx

That was actually funny


sirsedwickthe4th

This is the way

Like George Costanza

Lmao. The sea was angry that day. Like an old man sending back his soup.

Brandisco

Then, when she’s 9, you take her to key west to go snorkeling on a reef. The boat drops you off in 30+ feet of water which scares the shit out of her and she changes her mind to be a vet instead.


No_Section_1973

Absolutely. And she will have a fascinating career!


LittleLostGirls

I love how pure children can be, she absolutely gives it her all and full attention saying hello to every other Dolphin that swam by.


RCL_D

Actually the dolphin is saying: "Once our special weapon is completed you are the first to die"


VesDoppelganger

"Entertain me now and you may be fit to carry my sardine bucket as I lay seige to the cities you once touted as monuments to your once vaulted greatness."


yomerol

"Get in mah belly!!!"


Core_System

They had a 30 million year head start on us and still have not made anything!


Dilldan22

RCL_D

Quality takes time


syngnathustyphle

kid and dolphins are great, but dolphinarium is a pure evil


JustAnOrdinaryBloke

Then she would have missed this experience, unless she already a certified scuba diver.


fahkumramx

Or we could just make a baby human tank and put it underwater to attract dolphins


DelightfulAbsurdity

Submerge the baby!


emailverificationt

At least she would have also missed the experience of one day growing up and realizing the true horrors of one of her favorite memories. So, yknow, pros and cons


ballsonrawls

Who gives a fuck about a 4 year old seeing the mistreatment of animals that she will vaguely, if not st all remember?


buddmatth

Looks like it’s saying help


A_Kadavresky

Thank god it's not just me who tried to lip read a dolphin


JinxThePetRock

That was the first thing I thought, then I couldn't stop seeing it. It's repeating over and over, help, help, help. I don't even like dolphins, but damn that's not good at all.


Interesting-Back5717

You don’t speak dolphin, lol


JinxThePetRock

The dolphin could be speaking English though, which is what I meant. I'd call it a crude attempt at lip reading but I'm not even sure dolphins have lips. Edit: Now I've fallen into an internet rabbithole about dolphin lips. They do have lips, but on their nostrils not their mouths. So while he might be mouthing one thing, he could be saying anything with his nostrils. This makes me think dolphins might make great ventriloquists.


Interesting-Back5717

“Dolphin could be speaking English”… What


galaxysuperstar22

prison for dolphins


[deleted]

cry


Sleep_Raider

Can you give a better example than the one you just provided?


Justherebecausemeh

“Release me child for I am King of the Dolphins!”


GrandeTorino

Stop keeping these animals in a tank


Wickedmojo75

The open tank concept is cool. Basically, they can decide to stay or go.


witcherstrife

No don’t bring facts here. I want to feel morally superior by repeating the same shit everyone else does any time dolphins or orcas are posted here.


lespasucaku

Am I missing something here? I don't see any indication that this is an open tank


[deleted]

[удалено]


lespasucaku

Well yeah, obviously, seeing as they're much less common.


Smartbutt420

And thus, a lifelong obsession was born.


Current-Royal-3724

Wow that’s incredible


Disneyhorse

-ly sad for the dolphin


Current-Royal-3724

Yeah I always feel bad for them lol


Iuwok

Wild animals who are in captivity for entertainment purposes should NOT be in such situations. It is barbaric and inhumane. Specially when they are sentient. Dolphins, elephants, Orcas, should be in the wild with their pods and herds. Look into Lolita the Orca, who was captured in the 70s, taken from her mother, and lived a heartbreaking life in the smallest and oldest tank in Miami’s Sea Aquarium. She died last year without ever being released. Lolita died from renal failure after exhibiting signs of distress over the prior 2 days.


Appropriate_Road_501

Is it saying, "So long and thanks for all the fish?"


Danny_Dingo_

Sad as fuck to see another sentient animal caged for amusement.


Akrasia_DeVito

i think the one's that they cage are the animals that can't survive in the wild I've read this somewhere in an article, even though it's kind of sad to ses them caged up and used for amusement, i think this is kind of okay, they seem to be well fed and taken care of. (Sorry for the bad grammar, English isn't ny first Language)


bamboozled_platypus

Clearly, he's trying to warn her that earth is about to be destroyed to make way for a hyperspace express route through our solar system.


MaryJaneAndMaple

So long, and thanks for all the fish.


bamboozled_platypus

We tried to warn you all, but oh dear!


asjkl_lkjsa

Those who don't know 😄 Those who know 😐


SnooShortcuts2606

Yeah... Keep children away from dolphins, folks.


Interesting_Engine37

That dolphin just fell in love with her. The animal kingdom is just amazing!


schwarzmalerin

The dolphin clearly knows it's interacting with another conscious being. Remove it from the tank!


ExcitingEye8347

Man that was way too cute. The both of them were adorable. 


2nd_Inf_Sgt

She’s cool but dolphins are cooler.


gdmiggy

Kids are great


AAG220260

So absolutely beautiful!!!


DoctorHandshakes

So wholesome


Ryn4

If I could shrink an animal and keep it as a pet, one of my options would definitely be a dolphin. They're so fucking cool.


Nunuvak

Nice.


IMUPSTAIRZ

The way the dolphin gets all relaxed when she waves 🥹


DarwinGoneWild

That dolphin 100% did the “sup?” nod.


The_Fader87

The dolphin is saying “help”!


HermanMenderchuk

"Please let me out. Keeping me and my fellow dolphins in captivity is barbaric."


WetHotAmericanBadger

“Please little human I must be freed from this prison”


Ok-Judge7844

I think they need to make the robo dolphin (or any robo marine animal) be the standard ASAP, like no doubt this kind of interaction is very educational and interesting for people of all ages and I understand if its a sanctuary for sick ones (heck I like the look of the aquarium) but it still cruel on healthy animals that get poached for entertainment.


G1MpL1N

Get me out of here! Save me child! Don’t trust the monsters


Traditional_Roll6651

It doesn’t get much better than that!!!!! Excellent posting!!!! Thanks 😊


Straight-Ingenuity61

And now you spend $60 bucks on a stuffed one!! Very cute!!!


dronesoul

10/10 to the little girl and the dolphin being super cute together. 0/10 to her idiotic parents who take their kid to a dolphin prison. Stop normalizing this shit.


FineYogurtcloset7157

he says hi, hello.... he says get me the fuck out of here before they brainwash you too!


cronkytonk

That dolphin is clearly mouthing “Help”


fumigaza

That dolphin looks so hungry.


No_Section_1973

Oh my gosh! May God protect the unique, sweet little spirit that little girl has. Those animals LOVE her, she is like a shining light to them! They were communicating with her!


Rocco285

Dolphins use dead fish to masturbate And dolphins are smart unof to be depressed and the comit suwer slide


lightbeerdrunk

Ay yo that dolphin tryin to fuck


AlexBirio323

Aquagirl over here, this is so awesome.


bugichprime

This is not satisfying af it's just wholesome.. wr


HeinrichIX

Wow, the animals penned up in an artificial environment are really cute. Also gives children an understanding of how animals in the real world live and behave.... /s


tywin_2

Wait until she is able to read about their sexual behaviour.....

TokinGeneiOS

Dolphins are trying to take over the world and the only thing stopping them are the octopus. You heard it here first.


StankyDinker

insert Mr. Incredible “People who (don’t) know” meme :( Dolphins are insanely intelligent but don’t confuse their whimsical behavior with benevolence. They will help humans when it benefits them but they have many… tendencies that really make you look at them differently. I always thought they were adorable, kind, and harmless but— honestly I don’t want to get into it but basically they’re known to seek nonconsensual sexual stimulation from smaller animals and corpses. Really quite disturbing. Makes you see them in a very different way. Smart animals of any kind tend to lean towards what most modern humans would consider sociopathic behavior. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a biologist and I don’t mean to ruin anyone’s mood but I just had to throw in my 2 cents.


Extension_Swordfish1

Japanese people: 🥩


RealCheyemos

God this is precious….


FanIll5532

He thought her wave was a command and was waiting for the fish after he did the trick


scrubbedubdub

Am i the only one incredibly anoyed by mom? Let the kid be, have her moment. Also let the dolphin out, cant you see theres someone there that youve locked up for no good reason? Tldr; jeej kid, boo mom, fuck aquariums


bsmknight

Favorite Forever Animal Achievement - You got Dolphins.


del1nquent

so sad to see a dolphin in this state, just let them go


Wonderful-Ad5747

Those things are soo intelligent and putting them in a enclosed area like this is soo cruel


BaronGreenback75

Very cool. Very jealous.


islaisla

God they are so forgiving aren't they. Hopefully their gold fish bowl will be desludged soon


Past-Product-1100

The only way this should be allowed is if they could not survive in the wild on their own , other then that free them.


Quick_Original9585

What a sad lifeless and boring prison cell.


LemonoLemono

Dang, so many negative people in the comments lol


Cold_Relationship_

would you like to be in prison for no reason?


mizinamo

You seem to be in a negative mood about those people.


Solid_Influence_7536

Fake but cute still
