Dolphin leaps from tank 'in escape bid'
Pretty sad, huh? Was it trying suicide? Sure looks like it.
I know that over half of dolphins violently captured die within 90 days.
In the wild the average life span of a dolphin is 45 years, yet half of all captured dolphins die within two years, with the survivors lasting only five years in captivity.
I cannot remember other statistics, but they are grim.
Is it any wonder I do not like circuses and their ilk?
