Tim Duncan supports the cruel captivity industry of whales and dolphins

[BlackSwordsMan]

so does chris paul

[Sec24Row7]

Uhhh... and for over a decade he has engaged in brutal murders of hornets, hawks, bucks, bobcats, grizzlies, raptors, timberwolves, bulls, and mavericks....

Cruel, cruel bas ....

[NRHector]

Really? Odom has sex with a cow in captivity and I don´t see anybody ing about it

Seriously, this is the reason why I don't go to Sea World. I do think it is cruel to do this (no I don't go to the zoo either. However, I am not a militant PETA activist and won't get all over someone because they do go. This is a personal choice for me and I will generally only bring it up if someone asks me why I don't go to Sea World.

I don't go to the rodeo for the same reason. Tying a rope around the balls? That just ain't cool, gotta show some male solidarity since we all know how bad that would feel.

How else can I get my balls off the ground?

and sons i don't care if this was a charity event with season ticket holders ... The hypocrisy of it all is shameful for tim to even take part in this. Yea so he swims around with the beluga whale, makes it do a few tricks for their entertainment, then leaves it alone to swim around in that tiny bath tub / joke of a swimming pool it is forced to live in. Tim shouldn't support this type of crap.

+1

Unfortunately, the things found in his stomach would be no worse than the plastic bags, bottle caps and cigarette butts that are regularly found in that of a dolphin living in the wild.

and son other than the natural causes in the wild, we know of 3 things that are killing dolphins and other marine animals ...

1. Pollution caused by humans

2. Fishing nets caused by humans

3. Captivity industry caused by humans

see a trend there? ... and it sucks that Duncan (who seems like a nice guy) supports this crap.

Someone from NO would certainly know about charity cases.

Someone should save this pic for 1st round exit. Doesn't even need to be shopped.

Peta much? I've been to sea world and the pools are extremely deep and they have tons of room. They have room to dive, swim, etc.. GTFO here with that .

[CavsSuperFan]

BR- How else are we going to teach Beluga Whales to not swallow whistles, pennies, metal wires & deflated footballs?

Ignorance is bliss

Yea son its perfectly ok and humane to put a free ranging, sonic creature that is used to swimming 80+ miles a day in a concrete swimming pool where they can swim in circles and dive 20ft deep!

[Nathan89]

Brhornet do you drive a car? Then you support the pollution of the atmosphere. What else do you support?

[Leetonidas]

You wanna talk heart-rending cruelty? Forget our beloved flippered mammalian friends, man: inhumane is being George Shinn's captives for 20+ years, then becoming orphaned wards of the NBA with an unsure future in NOLA. And it's even worse for LA Hornets fans considering the Jazz already Dear-Johned their unfortunate asses.

-- if Hornets fans were to have their collective stomach pumped, the contents would include crow feathers, unfulfilled promise, and Shinn-mank floating around in a dismal mirepoix of flood water, petroleum waste and unspooled Clifton Chenier 8-tracks.

We need an NPO to save you Hornets fans the agony of another season surrendered and another city abandoned. If Sally Struthers isn't available, maybe Tim can do y'all a solid and do a fundraiser for the cause.

Son this is about the cruel captivity industry which is nothing more than a money making business. All the conservation and research talk they preach is complete bs ... its all about the money.

Pollution on the otheer hand is unfortunately (for now) a necissary evil, but just like everything else most humans pollute more than their fair share and abuse it.

Our resident Saint BR pulling trying to pull a peta, but his poor ole mammy would be horribly distressed to see his sig. pics./videos of scantily clad women. I feel horrible for mama BR.

[buttsR4rebounding]

And I thought Spurs on hurt horses...but it looks like that dolphin was a freakin' pickpocket. Maybe he was saving up to buy his way out of captivity. What a shame...only 3 quarters, 1 rock and 2 bottle caps away from freedom!

[Fernando TD21]

Shame on Duncan, he should follow Odom's example and start rescuing those poor creatures.

tbh, cruel captivity is being in the NO Arena watching Paul pass up shots in the 4th quarter...

Son I won't argue that

[ClingingMars]

lol sorry but this happens all over the world, whether it be zoos or waterparks or whatever. and yeah, I'm totally sure this animal would magically know what to do if it was released into the wild.

give me a ing break.

[BRHornet45]

You would think that with all of his money he would try and help the cause and teach kids how to respect animals. Instead he chooses to swim around and support the ignorant and cruel industry that keeps these animals in bath tubs.

[DMC]

Weren't you saved by dolphins after Katrina?
