Dolphin bites girl's hand

An eight-year-old girl is recovering after a dolphin at Orlando Seaworld park bit one of her hands.

The girl had run out of the fish with which she was feeding the dolphins. Suddenly one of the dolphins rose and grabbed her paper tray and her hand, dragging her towards the pool.

The girl suffered lacerations.

100% agreed.

The dolphin cannot defend itself. Maybe someone shot the whole accident on camera and the truth can really come out.

Before anyone opens his/her mouth - I am sorry for the little girl because it was a bad experience but really her parents, when the tray was empty, they should not have left her with her hand outstretched . Dolphins are not violent at all.

EXACTLY. But it's always the non-human animal that will be considered the monster, and the human being is always the one to play the victim.

Totally agree with you, Mr Camilleri. First dad and daughter ignored the warning sign to keep the fish tray on top of the wall, then dad said that Seaworld should have explained why the tray should have been kept low on top of the wall. If you have watched the full video on Australian TV every other kid had the tray on the wall just as the notice said. Dad is a yank - a lawsuit will follow.
