Final Week

Evening Discussion

I liked the article on cuddling. I have to agree with it. Having people in my life that I care about and vice versa is probably the most important thing to me. It is what makes my life so rich! When I feel bad having other people to go to is what always helps me through it. And yes cuddling makes you feel better to. There is something about it. The warmth, the love, the trust. It makes you feel warmer and happy inside.


"Debunking Captivity"

This was an extremely sad article to me. I believe that dolphins need to be out in the wild in their natural environment. It must be so depressing to them to have such a small area to swim in and live in. The reason for keeping these dolphins given most was for research. I do not see how this research could be very valid though. The best research would be to see the dolphin in their natural environment with other dolphins. To see how they interact with other dolphins, how to they get food, how do they protect themselves. These type of things cannot be seen holding them captive in such a small space. Also saying that it is educational for people to come and see is bogus. People go to see for a show.
