(28,127 posts)1. Wow. I always love dolphins stories.
Such intelligent "critter-people."
Dolphins deserve same rights as humans, say scientists"
Experts in philosophy, conservation and animal behaviour want support for a Declaration of Rights for Cetaceans.
They believe dolphins and whales are sufficiently intelligent to justify the same ethical considerations as humans.
Recognising their rights would mean an end to whaling and their captivity, or their use in entertainment.

Thank goodness there are good humans in the world to make up for the bad ones. That was absolutely amazing to see.
And as always, thank you catbyte!
Happy New Year!

It's amazing the dolphin recognized the driver as a source of help. It's amazing the dolphin was able to bring itself to trust the driver. It's amazing how long the dolphin was willing to let the driver work on him. It's all amazing.
