    Swim with them in the wild, if you want to swim with captive animals, could I suggest you google "the cove" before you go.
    ANURADHA KOIRALA ??? go on throw it in google.

    Under the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act this is illegal

    mchale: I have googled it and I'm shocked, upset and angry. What those sadists in Japan do to animals is, well cannot even find word for it..
    However I think whether I go to swim with dolphins in California or not, it will have no effect on what is happening in Japan..
    Sadly unless some goverment will do something about it, I cannot change it myself..I will spread the word..

    Thanks spread the word, 1 point if people didnt go to these sea life centres, the demand for captured animals would drop, enjoy your holiday anyway.
