Chelsea died after a lifetime at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, but other dolphins are still there 💔 A neuroscientist who studies marine mammal cognition agrees with us: the remaining dolphins should be moved to seaside sanctuaries!

Honestly, I believe it may be worse than that. I believe they DO recognize more intelligent life & views them as competitors... and so they want to exterminate them. Why are the 'missing links' missing? Could it be our species murdered all of them?

That's an interesting theory on missing links. Cro Magnons wiped out or assimilated Neanderthals thousands of years ago. People misinterpret Genesis and think humans are supposed to "dominate" the earth. My understanding is humans were supposed to be caretakers of earth and other species, not kill✌️💙

They deserve better than a lifetime in captivity. Hopefully the remaining dolphins can be moved to a sanctuary where they can live more natural, fulfilling lives.

A few decades ago when I was a teen I went to a dolphin show. The seated stands didn't have backs and I accidentally kicked my bag into the water. Assumed it was lost but a dolphin collected it and 'handed' it back to one of the staff. I have not doubted the intelligence of other species since.

PETA once denied me an adoption of a dog because my Papillon had dug a hole under the fence, without my knowledge, gotten out into the street and was run over. So I went to the public dog pound, and adopted one there. I cannot live without dogs and I always take the best possible care I can of them.

You murder animals EVERY DAY! You STEAL pets from their owners, then murder them while begging and grifting for money, just to murder even more. You are DISGUSTING, MURDERING HYPOCRITES.

PETA, seriously? You claim to be for animals yet you kill dogs to stop people having them as pets. You are responsible for more animal deaths than Six Flags. You’re not helping animals, you are murdering them. You need shutting down.

You still operate the animal shelter with the HIGHEST KILL RATE in the US, with 60% of animals being killed in your Norfolk VA shelter. That's an extreme outlier in the developed world. So don't condescend to lecture us about morality, you have no credibility.

First of all, FUCK PETA, buncha dog murdering assholes, I hope you all trip on uneven sidewalks & eat curb. Second, yeah, keeping animals like this is pretty shitty, too. But still, fuck PETA with all the cactuses (or cacti, if you wanna be proper)

They need to go back to when the show flipper was on! These dolphins aren’t made to use like this. A trainer actually said he held a dolphin while it drowned itself! These are family animals. They need a pod they need freedom!

Immediately! I never visit a zoo or an aquarium. We have videos. If you want to see them that bad, go look where they live. I’ve come to the conclusion that most Americans are bad. I didn’t think that until I was 62. I’m 67 will never step foot in a church. That’s where they all are. Deplorable’s

But we all know the greed of those that run these animal abuse attractions won’t do a GD thing to right these wrongs. It would affect their bottom line and they can’t have that. And don’t even get me started on the absolute idiots that pay huge amounts to bring their children to witness the abuse!

Sharks recognize themselves in the mirror too and we don’t try to attribute intelligence to them. 2/3’s of the animals on this rock eat meat. When you convince one of them not to, come see me.

Dolphins are magnitudes more intelligent than even this demonstrates. They name themselves with unique identifying sounds that stick for life. I’m convinced they’d have built full civilizations if they had opposable thumbs. Thanks for the work you do, PETA. I went vegetarian this year 🫶🌱

Chelsea is even more sad, because she has a TV in her tank, and now she looks in the mirror and thinks she doesn't meet our unrealistic beauty standards for cetaceans. Seriously, though... Fuck SeaWorld.

And you kill peoples pets. You even kidnap them and then slaughter them. You are one of the richest so-called charities on this planet. Maybe you should think about how you can use that money for good work instead of just propaganda. That includes not killing animals because they don’t fit

Why do you believe it necessary to give the opinion of some neuroscientist (many of whom bristle at the idea of consciousness, being dogma conditioned)? You don't have theory of mind capability? Really drives me up the wall with this attempt to buttress every claim with "science."
