- Okay, so it’s cruel to capture dolphins. I’m sure Helene O’Barry’s
articles will keep many people from visiting dolphinariums, and I think
that’s a shame. Without captive dolphins, there are many people who would
never see a dolphin. Isn’t that worth something? I wouldn’t be able to
capture dolphins myself but there will always be people to capture them, no
way of stopping it. All we dolphin trainers do is take care of the animals.
I don’t see how it can be our obligation to tell people how they were
captured: We didn’t do it. All we do is take care of the animals and provide
people with an unforgettable experience. Dolphins are beautiful animals and
people deserve a chance to see them up close. TV just isn’t the same thing
as getting up-close and personal with them. First time I swam with dolphins
was in Cancun. It was fantastic and the trainers took good care of the
animals, the dolphins seemed very happy - Chris Mason
