RICHARD FREEMAN: 'Flipper committed suicide'

Most of our older readers will remember the 1960s kids show Flipper. It features the adventures of a friendly dolphin. Much like a watery Lassie, Flipper would rescue children and thwart baddies to the delight of viewers.


Now her trainer reveals what a miserable existence she had in captivity and how it ultimately led to her death. Ric O’Barry, a former dolphin trainer now activist against keeping the creatures in captivity, is convinced she committed suicide.
