Also there is a clip but l dont think much of it because it only showed a little bit of what had happened to the animal.
The dolphin was a little bit injured while trying to get out of where he is.
These animals should be in the wild not caged up like this.

I hope you all have a read of this .

I would also like to say if you think that animals should be caged up or in tanks or do you think that they should be let back into the wild.

I don't think wild or caged is the issue.

Little known fact: Dolphins don't actually like the water, but their lack of feet means their tender bellies get scraped up when they try to get around on land.

Well look at how this dolphin wanted to escape from his incloser.
This animal doesnt want to be there.
It is the humans who are doing this and it is only for money.
i do agree if a animal is injuered it sohuld be looked after but to keep animals in meduim sized pools is worng they should be in the ocean .

And the dolphin left a note:

"So long and thanks for all the fish"

We don't know that it wanted out of its enclosure, we just know it wanted to be out of the water, and on land (where all the cool people were). It was also probably pretty tired of eating fish all the time and noticed that vendors in the audience were selling beer and snacks.

The real tragedy here is that we continue to make marine mammals live in the water despite their realization that it is an evolutionary dead end, hindering their further technological development. Most dolphins and whales that live in the ocean can keep their heads underwater and pretend they don't know this, but the ones in these aquariums have to face it every day. They know in their hearts that after working all day in the pool they should be free to hop out, grab a pizza and head to a bar, just like everyone else. Mankind needs to use our technology to help whales and dolphins adapt to land-based city life. With appropriate prosthetics, most could drive around in large buses, although the drive-thru windows at Long John Silvers' might require slight modifications to accomodate large vehicles with extremely large orders.

So I guess this dolphin was not, in fact, whistling a happy tuna?

Sounds like Kuru has been reading too much Far Side.

Paradoxical as this sounds . . . the only way many species are going to be safe & remain in existence is if some specimens are kept caged up. Poaching & hunting do continue to outstrip efforts to preserve species in the wild.
