The worst kind of abuse

To me the worst kind of animal abuse is this:



This poor animal was rounded up, chased, put in a small pen and had to wait for hours while its whole family was slaughtered. Then it was moved into a small concrete pool to await its new "owner." It will then endure up to three days in a bathtub in the back of a lorry with little to no food (as if it would eat!) then it is in for a life of degrading "tricks" and dead fish. It will never again get to use its natural instincts and if the new owner doesn't care, it might not even ever see another dolphin.

This is where flipper came from, this is where the smiling dolphins in the sea world parks came from.

This is the worst animal abuse to me. Death is much preferred.

so sad

It really is a disgrace. I'm not totally up to knowledge on the in's and out's but I've watched a few things about that and it is terrible.

Awful.

I see that and get that sicky feeling in my tummy, so very sad

when i see things like this i so lose faith in human beings

Too sad

so sad!!

I am being very polite when I say they would not want to be alone in a room with me, how can someone be so cold and do this?

That's so sad. I've heard about that before with killer whales as well. I really don't like a lot of the human race

if your easily upset never watch ' the cove' it documents alot of what happens to the dolphins in japan. I think the Killer whales are very tragic as well
