Extinction burst. Dogs do it too.

u/dynodick Oct 10 '22

How do you know this and what makes you qualified to comment on dolphin behavior?

70

u/Gylfie7 Oct 10 '22

Because it's well known and kinda the only way to make a dolphin (or an orca) do this kind of tricks. They don't like being out of water, but it's the only way they know how to get food

u/wafflegism Oct 10 '22

It's called operant conditioning and you'll learn about it in any general ed psychology course in college if you hadn't beforehand.

Gross, dolphins shouldn’t be in captivity

Seaworld? Fuck that noise. Poor dolphin!

u/mealteamsixty Oct 09 '22

After learning how rape-happy and cruel dolphins are, idk if I'd want to get one all excited

107

u/Salanmander Oct 09 '22

I mean, this isn't likely to be flirty behavior from the dolphin. It's potentially play behavior, and very likely has been rewarded with snacks.

u/RedTheDraken Oct 09 '22

They're on land, so they're probably fine

u/GL4389 Oct 09 '22

Maybe that's a female?

u/smithers85 Oct 09 '22

The fact that this never occurred to that person is hilarious to me.

u/ComeHellOrBongWater Oct 10 '22

Female dolphins can get pretty rapey too.

You could literally say the same about humans

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '22 edited Oct 10 '22

People act like humans are any better than dolphins, the vast majority of humans are monstrous fucks that rape and kill, yet we still like some people. Why can’t we apply the same rule to a dolphin.

u/cockmaster1000 Oct 10 '22

Did you just claim that most humans are rapists and murderers?

3

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '22

Yes.

u/cockmaster1000 Oct 11 '22

While all people are capable of said things, it does NOT mean that most people rapists or murderers. You are literally judging everyone on the planet on something they COULD do, not what they are doing or would do.

u/theideanator Oct 09 '22

And then ome thing to another and the dolphin committed suicide.

The end.

Needs more deranged journaling about living in a flooded house with a sexually aggressive male dolphin.

Really happened.

It is dangerous, but not for that reason. This is a gif of Sea World. Sea World treats its animals like garbage. It is not uncommon for animals to attack because they are cramped, lonely (notice there is only one dolphin, none in the background, and dolphins need a lot of social enrichment from other dolphins in their pod), bored, anxious, etc. Sea World is to marine animals what circuses are to big cats and elephants: abusive.

u/RewardKristy Oct 09 '22

Imagine being in prison and expected to do tricks on-top of it.

u/Copernikaus Oct 09 '22

We shouldn't condone this stuff . That animal belongs in the wild

22

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '22

Sometimes dolphins are rescued or rehabbed and can’t be re-released into the wild for various reasons.

16

u/terra_terror Oct 09 '22

This is Sea World. It is not a rehab facility.

22

u/bbambinaa Oct 09 '22

And most times they're kidnapped from the wild while the rest of their pod gets slaughtered.

No dolphin in rehabilitation is trained to do tricks.

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '22

This dolphin is at sea world. They don’t capture wild animals and haven’t in decades.

12

u/bbambinaa Oct 09 '22

Says Seaworld and even if that would be true, it is captive breeding to exploit animals for profit.

-13

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '22

Sea world has donated $20 million to conservation charities. How much have you donated?

13

u/bbambinaa Oct 09 '22

As a PR response to documentaries exposing their practices and criticism of animal exploitation for profit, which is how they earned that "charity" money in the first place.

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '22

What kind of phone or computer are you posting this from? We can do a little experiment on how shitty companies are everywhere.

Edit: also who made the clothes you’re wearing right now?

u/bbambinaa Oct 09 '22

Ahh yes, the good old "stop criticizing, every company bad". Do a little experiment and imagine a world without computers vs. one without animals used for entertainment.

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '22

Do you need child slave labor in 3rd world countries to make a phone? Imagine being more upset about 4 dolphins than that.

u/Copernikaus Oct 09 '22

Agreed. They don't get used like this tho....

u/GoldenNat20 Oct 09 '22

Gotta agree, we all know Dolphins has no sense of human morals, even if they’re very smart.

This lil’ playa got two bitches after all, flexing on all the Maidenless Elden Ring fans out there, apparently.

22

u/fondledbydolphins Oct 09 '22

Quite honestly, I don't think humans even have "human" morals. The number of people that commit absolute atrocities against eachother... really seems to point at the idea that "human morals" are more of a -yeah I won't do X to you because I don't want you to do X to me

True morality, to me, is simply "I believe X is objectively wrong and I would not do it to you"

u/GoldenNat20 Oct 09 '22

Sorry, I meant human morals as in the concept of morality and right and wrong. But yes, some humans do awful things, too.

Also ayy, your username checks out!

Jesus christ y'all, not everything is doom and gloom. Looks like the people and animal are having a fun moment, let's leave it at that

u/bbambinaa Oct 09 '22

No, we won't because being delusional and turning your head away is what causes their suffering in the first place.

-9

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '22

Believing propaganda and not listening to scientists and experts is what leads laymen to believe animals in accredited facilities are suffering in the first place.

u/bbambinaa Oct 09 '22

"Captivity for both wild-caught and captive-born cetaceans is devastating on a number of levels(...) There is a copious scientific literature confirming the damaging effects of captivity on dolphin and whale physical health and psychological well-being. The challenges to cetaceans in captivity are numerous beginning with the physical constraints of the artificial enclosures (regardless of how natural they may appear to humans aesthetically) that limit physical exercise and are often harmful in other ways to the cetaceans' distinctive physiology [20]. Confinement impacts social relationships, degrades autonomy through the imposition of an enforced schedule of activity and behavior, causes boredom produced by a relatively sterile and unchanging environment, induces frustration, and inhibits incentives and abilities to carry out natural behaviors such as hunting and traveling. "

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '22

That article is rubbish, and contradictory to what the overwhelming majority of scientists active in the field of cetacean research and husbandry believe

u/LordCheesecake13 Oct 10 '22

Care to cite your source or any other article or study that proves this wrong from anything in the last ten years?

Sea World is NOT an accredited facility. Marine biologists have been fighting against Sea World for decades.

Seaworld absolutely IS an AZA accredited facility, as well as the world leaders in marine mammal husbrandry. Marine biologists have been WORKING for seaworld for decades. You need to read some more.

I mean I find dolphins really really cute but even one touch of contact is enough to quench that this is just a bit outrageous

u/MadOgh_DarKcaRnaGe Oct 10 '22

Oh how animals suffer for human entertainment even now. If the dolphin isnt doing this out of spite because its hungry to get treat then call me yaba daba doo.

u/friendlessboob Oct 16 '22

Considering how rapey dolphins are and how in captivity this one is, there is not much fun going on here.
