[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah. I don't think it's torture or the equivalent of bashing a dogs head in with a rock.  That's kind of weird. :shock: [/quote]

I wasn't saying it was.  I was just responding to the PP that said that she didn't care how the animals that she eats or views are treated -- that it's "too bad for the animals" but great for her.  I was questioning the line ... would she be okay if, after the show, they torture the animals to death?  It just seems to me to be a weird position -- to proudly say that you don't care at all.  
I don't know enough about dolphins to have a real opinion.  I assume there are some places that do it better than others, and some places that do it worse (probably because it's cheaper and easier to do it worse, and the tourists don't know the difference.)

I will say that it's pretty easy to see dolphins in the wild.  I've been on more than one catamaran trip where the dolphins just swim and jump along next to the boat -- the spinner dolphins think it's a really fun game to race the boats. [/quote]
