I Quit This BITCH!

This false killer whale, a species of dolphin, leapt out of its tank during a marine show at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in southwestern Japan

Ric O’Barry, 70, who now makes a career out of freeing dolphins, said the video highlights the cruelty the animals suffer while in captivity.  Mr O’Barry said: ‘The habitat of that false killer whale is so unnatural it leapt out in desperation.

The footage shows the stricken dolphin, called Kuru, lying on the floor as staff desperately wrap it in a mat and use a crane to lift it back into the water.

The other dolphins in the tank appear to be distressed and gathered around the side where the Kuri leapt out.

Hideshi Teruya, who manages the dolphin section at the park said: ‘It was playing around and jumped out by accident from the momentum.’  Mr Teruya denied the captivity was cruel and said the tank was not overcrowded and followed aquarium guidelines.

BULLSHIT!

But Mr O’Barry said the guidelines were inadequate and that dolphins were used to roaming for many miles a day, not swimming in a circle and doing flips at shows.
