    Hey, I want to do this as a job! What major do I need to study? Marine biology?

      I mean I’m not a professional but I’ve read plenty of books. They recommend you major in marine biology or biology and they recommend you minor in psychology.

    hey i heard that the way you train dolphins is that you only feed them when they do the tricks correctly, thats why they do it because they're starving, ( im not certain) and that the tanks they're kept in when not on display are tiny and confined please be honest

      from the amount of research, I've done it depends on the place how they treat their animals, but from what I know, they get a certain type of fattier fish as meals, and smaller fish and squid as reinforcement, just as you would give a dog a treat when doing a trick correctly. And again, depending on the place, the tank doors are all open so the dolphins or whales can have full access to swim from tank to tank. This also depends if the pod gets along non-aggressively.

    Why should the dolphins be made to work like humans? They are so defenseless. Release them to the wild.

      an animal that has been in human care for years or an animal that was born in human care cannot be released. they wouldn’t know how to hunt, and they would likely try to find humans to feed them and that could end up badly. they aren’t made to do anything, all the behaviors are a choice for them and if they don’t want to do something, the trainers will still give them affection and food. do actual research instead of watching blackfish.
