According to police, Edward Petterez, 21, of South Gate, simply honked at a passenger...
ORCA developed its plan for the release in consultation with the federal Marine Mammal Commission. Last fall the project got under way. Alling taped underwater sounds at the Georgia site to familiarize the dolphins with their new habitat. To deprogram them, O'Barry simply reversed normal training procedures. Instead of rewarding the dolphins when they performed, he would turn his back. To ease their transition to catching moving fish for food, the team clipped the tails off mullet to slow them down...
