We have seen animal rescue, but rarely have we seen the animal search for humans to save it!

Stories such as this touch me deeply. And to think of what people do to these beautiful creatures is heart-wrenching. (The Cove)

I have personally swum with Dolphins off the pier in Kona, Hawaii. I counted 17 of them as they swam around me when I snorkeled, coming so close I could touch them. I was amazed at the warmth of their skin and the clear intelligence behind their eyes. It was obvious they were self-aware beings.

– On a night-time dive near Hawaii, 2 divers were found by a bottlenose dolphin and started to swim around them over and over again. When looking closer, one of them discovered the reason for this strange behavior – the dolphin had a fishing line hooked around it, hindering its ability to swim.

They cut him free, and the dolphin swam away, relieved. The fact that a dolphin would come to humans for help is once again evidence of its amazing intelligence, as most injured animals would never come close to a human and would actually be aggressive and defensive. This is amazing to watch and a life-time experience for those two divers, who got to share a moment of true understanding with a wild animal.

Dolphins gain unprecedented protection in India

India has officially recognized dolphins as non-human persons, whose rights to life and liberty must be respected. Dolphin parks that were being built across the country will instead be shut down.
