"The dolphin, at SeaWorld's dolphin petting attraction "Dolphin Cove," emerged from the pool, grabbed Brandon Jackson's left arm and held on, though its teeth didn't break his skin, said his mother, Brenda Harris of Valdosta, Ga. But she said she had to beat on the animal's snout until it let go." Maybe I am wrong but I don't think this is what CJ meant when he said there have been no documented attacks on humans. In my mind this does not constitute an attack. The German shepherd I grew up with would growl and make like he was going to attack me and then bite my arm but never once broke the skin. I was a kid....I think some times he was playing with me; other times, he wanted me to leave him alone. I soon learned to discern the difference. I don't consider that kind of behavior attacking. Remember animals are not able to verbalize in English their complaints. For an allegedly wild animal, dolphins seem to be very benign towards humans even as they are known to kill sharks and other sea creatures, and even as we slaughter them.
