Sorry to say this Villa10 – but you’re full of crap.
Where I come from the tides move in and out about 1/2 mile – low flat shoreline. We used to get out there up to our waists and play with the flipper-type dolphins. Porpoises, too – although they’re members of the whale family and not as large. Did it for years with my whole crowd.
I lived in Greece for a number of years and people there have ongoing relationships with dolphins which are very large in their history/mythology/ethnic identification.
If anyone’s interested in some little-known stuff… the Dolphin sonar is so efficient that they can tell if a woman is carrying a foetus (even if she doesn’t know yet that she’s pregnant) and will treat her altogether differently from any other human. Very nurturing.
Forgiving too. Look at the way we’ve treated them historically and now and still they come back for more, helping whenever they can.
They deserve better than we give them – especially a bad name!
