Famous dolphin trainer found dead in Spain
5:29 p.m. Saturday, March 7, 2015
ATLANTA Spanish dolphin trainer Jose Luis Barbero was found dead inside his vehicle in the public parking lot of the Palma de Mallorca airport. Authorities say the case is being treated as a suicide.
Barbero disappeared earlier this week, just two days before another troubling video showed up online.
Animal activists say the most recent video shows Barbero, a dolphin trainer, using aggressive training techniques at a theme park in Spain. Barbero was set to become a senior vice president at the Georgia Aquarium in downtown Atlanta.
Barbero was last seen leaving his home in Spain on Tuesday.
WSBTV first broke this story last month, with the original video that animal activists claim shows Barbero hitting and kicking dolphins.

yet, when they think no one is looking they are cruel, sadistic and abusive. there should be cameras wherever "professionals" who interact with animals, children, and vulnerable members of the population - so their heinous acts can be filmed and they can be stopped.
