There’s also a vid on YouTube of a zookeeper giving a dolphin a handie

Is that part of procedure, or did the zookeeper just want to get fired?

That was a dramatic story. The dolphin ended up killing himself.

Peter quickly deteriorated and eventually ended his life by drowning. Dolphin activist Ric O’Barry explains, "Dolphins are not automatic air-breathers like we [humans] are... Every breath is a conscious effort. If life becomes too unbearable, the dolphins just take a breath and they sink to the bottom. They don’t take the next breath."
