    so 6 dolphins were *rescued* from the open water?

    CNN is reporting that 6 dolphins were *rescued* from the gulf of mexico after they had gotten out of their pool at the gulfport missippi oceanarium. due to the hurricane, and swam into the open water.

    I thought dolphins were open water, wild animals

        how polluted the gulf of mexico is? are you serious>? u know the gulf is trillions and trillions of gallons of water, lol
        and they won't survive in the open water? they were *rescued* surrounded by many other wild dolphins tht had connected with them and were swimming along with them when they were rescued

              An animal raised in captivity will not survive in the wild

                    it is a common misconception that wild animals that have spent time (of any length) in captivity will not survive in their natural habitat

                      You are in the wrong business since you seem to know so much more than the experts.

                          dolphins are rare?

                          Usually, if animals are rare and they are in captivity, it is done so they can build up in numbers and be released

                              I heard the big thing is they are too comfortable around humans, it makes them easier to capture and kill.

                                who other than humans "captures" dolphins?

                                serious question

                                  I think his point is they are more likely to approach the wrong "humans"..

                                      i just happen to think, like many others, that wild animals are not meant for captivity and i found it ironic that wild animals were rescued from their natural habitat.

                                            what's more of a sad story is all the fish/animals that were left behind that died in the aquarium of the Americas. . . . Even sadder all the people that were left behind and died

Dolphin remains are often found in the stomachs of tiger sharks, dusky sharks, and bull sharks (Shane, et al., 1986). Killer whales occasionally prey on bottlenose dolphins as well, but documented cases are rare (Klinowska, 1991). Humans, however, also prey on dolphins. Many dolphins are killed inadvertently when they become tangled in commercial fishing industry nets. In the recent past, furthermore, bottlenose dolphins have been taken directly for meat, leather, oil, animal feed, and fertilizer (Klinowska, 1991).

                                                          http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/e/x/exv131/
                                                          there has never been any question that dolphins are a part of the natural food chain and have also been killed en masse by humans even.

                                                            ... the dolphin may be a candidate for release depending on several factors:


                                                            1. Health and physical condition

                                                            2. Use of sonar

                                                            3. Ability to catch fish

                                                            4. Defensive skills against predators

                                                            Most dolphins born in what we call "the wild" are candidates for readaptation and release. But not all of them. Some dolphins have been in captivity too long and have forgotten or lost the skills needed to survive in what was once their home. Habitat dictates behavior. Captivity has destroyed something vital in their lives, something that, were they human, we would call "spirit." For them, it's too late.

                                                              Ok they were caught not rescued....and if they are so damn smart any idiot would know they can survive in the wild. not to mention they breather AIR and can survive in rather polluted environments generally speaking.

                                                              as anyone who fishes can tell you they are FAR from "rare"

                                                              it is funny though in a weird way and reminds me of the old adage..."If dolphin are so damn smart why did Flipper work in televison."

If he was born in a pool, how can he be miserable? You think he misses not having whales and sharks trying to eat his ass?
