I was surprised to find that at the Curacao dolphin discovery park they have had to train their dolphins to go on open water excursions and when they turn back to the marine park the dolphins are there waiting to go back in before the diver's boat arrives. We all prefer to see these delightful creatures in their natural environment but perhaps if things are done right there are ways to provide a quality of life for the animals without negative consequences. They are not returning because they enjoy being caged. They do not know how to hunt in the wild so they return to get fed.
