More Rap on the Flap Over Flipper

The swim-with-dolphin programs in hotels across the country are sad representations of what humans enjoy doing for pleasure.

These people are caging dolphins purely for the benefit of the rich. We have these swim-with-dolphin torture tanks because that is what our high-paying society wants. These people who are willing to spend hundreds of dollars for a half hour of swimming with the dolphins should realize that these animals are being captured from their natural habitats and families and put into the equivalent, for humans, of a box.
