They are beautiful wild animals. Leave them that way. That pool is way too shallow. It likens to us having a bath in a sink!!!

The poor thing probably saw its mother and siblings killed in Taiji for dolphin meat. When will they stop their Barbarism against these intelligent mammals?

I wouldn't say it is sensationalist. This dolphin expert is quoted as having said the animal wants out.

Is is sensationalism saying it is an apparent suicide? Seems part of the dolphins show trick was to come up the side of the tank and maybe he just miscalulated. What I find amazing as well is that the other dolphins all rush to the side of the tank and watch what is is happening.
