In spite of all our differences, the one thing that binds all living creatures is that we each have an expiration date. This finality to our existence is what makes life special, something to be cherished and protected. But occasionally things can go terribly wrong…

Sadly, "Sharky" the dolphin died during a show at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida. The 30-year-old female dolphin was performing an aerial stunt about 50 feet from spectators when it collided mid-air with a second dolphin, who was also injured but is expected to survive.
SeaWorld managers describe the incident as a "freak accident" and plan to review training procedures. This was the first fatal dolphin collision at SeaWorld.

what I would like to know is why Sea world and other parks justify the seperation of dolphins and whales claiming they are safe when in fact trainers abuse dolphins as well, with holding food and seperating them from other dolphins is abuseas well as fishires chasing down and killing these awesome mammals.

Japan kills over 10,000 dolphins in a year sea world and other parks get thier dolphins from such places. people who go to these places do not fully under stand that these dolphins came from heart breaking places. most of thier counter parts die next to them. the waters turn red with the boold of these awesome mammals all because people feel they have the right to do what they please by killing and, placing these mammals in small tanks. with holding food to get them trained is also wrong. thousands of dolphins and whales all over are dying to entertain you. the seas run red with thier blood. whales are slaughtered and for what point. the heartless of man

there are too many people entertained by the fact that dolphins are very intelligent as wellas whales,taking them out of their home and starving them to get them to do acts for a buck, placing them in small tanks and spliting up families is wrong. people do not look at the big picture. dolphins, whales, seals, all animals were born. it is man that kills and encage these awesome animals. when will thier cry be heard, just because they smile does not mean they enjoy performing in front of people 3 times a day. after you leave you do not know how they are treated neither do you wonder where they come from. check out blue voice.org. see the slaughter of these animals here how they are treated andtell me fighting for thier rights is wrong.

why do you think that so many dolphins and whales are missing now? Japan hunts them a lot. others die from being caught and placed into a tank for your entertainment. in the wild they can live up to 40 or 50 if not longer in captivity they die at 10 or 20. they swim in small tank an in their on filth where as in the open sea they are free. hear the cry of the innocent whales and dolphins before their no more.

you are part of a family and hope to be a part of that family for the rest of your life now think about someone coming into your house and saying you and you have to come with me and then you are seperated from them for most if not all of your life. the diffrence betwen you and that dolphin or whale is, when you get older you can back trace and find your family if you are lucky. that dolphin and whale are stuck untill they die or are sold. animals as well as children are abused every day. we just don’t hear about it.
