Description

In this extra episode of Hooked on Freddie, Becky Milligan meets Doug Cartlidge who went from being a successful dolphin trainer to a leading anti-dolphinarium campaigner. When Britain was in the grip of dolphin-mania in the sixties and seventies, Doug was right at the heart of it. He had big hair, tight trunks and a bunch of famous friends. But after seeing too many young dolphins die in captivity – and almost losing his own life in a horrifying killer whale attack – Doug switched sides, campaigning to return captive dolphins to the wild.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Did one man’s friendship with a dolphin go way – way – too far? It’s 1987 and the British seaside town of Amble has seen much better days. So when a wild bottlenose dolphin nicknamed Freddie appears in the harbour, it feels like a miracle. Everyone wants to swim with him. But Freddie chooses one person above all others: Alan Cooper, a dedicated animal rights activist committed to freeing captive dolphins. Then Alan’s friendship with Freddie is turned against him and a devastating accusation spirals out of control.
