Stupid girl holds plate of food in front of hungry dolphin and gets bit - Stupid Sea World puts dolphins in a pond to beg for their daily bread!
I actually appreciate and support both zoos and aquariums when the animals have a high standard of living and plenty of organic and natural space. Sea World is not like that. They imprison mammals in small cement swimming pools, feed them dead fish, and pimp them out to beg or do tricks for their food.
In this case a kid gets her arm bit after accidentally holding the plate of food in front of a hungry dolphin's nose.
I totally agree that this is ridiculous and talk about animals NOT being in their natural habitat. However... I think it's a bit harsh to call the girl stupid, I'd call her ignorant to the real dangers of dealing with these powerful animals. The ignorance then falls back to Sea World for lack of education if they're going to allow people to be this close. The parents were ignorant, the kid was ignorant, and the park, having had this happen before, has decided that the collateral damage that occurs with these trivial happenings, are offset by the amount of money they make in admission fees and fish sales.

Have you seen "The Cove"? Absolutely disturbing.
