@abcfeeds agh. People, please don't promote captive dolphin experiences.
It's only ever harmful to them. The 'dolphin smile' is just a trick of morphology, people anthropomorphising animals. They're not 'happy to see you'.

Tickets for these drive the continuing brutal Taiji dolphin hunts, slaughter and captures.
People who have a bucket list for cetaceans experiences: book a whale watch tour! Get on a boat, see them in the wild.
