This is yet another example of the arrogance of the Greens to presume that they know what dolphins are thinking and feeling. We have a horse. Our daughter has a wonderful horse named Clancy. Clancy is a horse, so he behaves in accordance with being a herd animal. People who take a horse out of a herd usually have a companion animal. We chose not to. Clancy is now on our acreage at home. He loves being with humans. He does not like being with horses. The point of the matter is that we don't know what animals think.
Secondly, dolphins like humans. That's a fact. That's well known. Dolphins are attracted to humans. These kinds of practices actually fund research into dolphins, and these kinds of businesses support the curing of dolphins recovering from being hit by boats. This is yet another example of the Greens pretending that they know everything.
