week 14- Dolphins

   Couldn't agree more.  Dolphins are so cool, smart beautiful, playful, amazing, it is terrible to keep them confined for use in shows etc.  I love reading about all dolphins' amazing attributes.  It definitely makes me want to spend the rest of the night watching youtube videos about dolphins in the wild.  
   All I know is that sometimes when I am surfing, dolphins swim by, and sometimes they even surf in the waves, and it is out of this world amazing.  It is so cool to see them playing in the waves, and the energy they bring is palpable.  If the water is freezing, or I just got destroyed by a big set, and the dolphins swim by, my mood is lifted and my day is better.  
   And for this reason I agree that they should only be living in their natural habitat, interacting with their dolphin friends and family.  I love the author's passion about dolphins, but I can't help but think about all other animals.  Probably anyone who spent 25 years studying a particular species, and loved them, would be opposed to confining them for use in amusement parks and zoos.  Animals are always at their most awesome in nature.  But the author made a particularly good case for dolphins.
