An 8-year-old Georgia girl says it "really, really hurt" when a dolphin snatched her hand in its mouth while she fed the animal as part of an attraction at SeaWorld in Orlando, Fla.

Jillian Thomas told ABC's "Good Morning America" it "really, really hurt."

Should we expect animals to act like animals, even if they are human friendly?

    Should we expect animals . . .
    . . . to act like animals, you ask? I think its a good idea. But those visiting Sea World do not. They expect animals to act like Cirque de Solei.

    Really?
    Should we expect animals to act like animals??? Did you really just ask that? How the **** else should we expect them to act? We would like them to act like humans, but, they are animals, they are incapiable of acting like anything but what they are. We are very good at making them "appear" to be thoughtful, and cleaver, and while dolphins really are smart for animals, they are still just that, animals, and will act accordingly.

    With respect, I think that was the point Bruce was making. And you reinforced it well.
