Dolphin Bites Boy At SeaWorld
<snip>

ORLANDO, Fla. -- His arm is just bruised, but a six-year-old boy said he doesn't want to see dolphins anymore after being bitten by one at SeaWorld Orlando.

The boy's mother said that while visiting the dolphin-petting attraction Sunday night, the dolphin grabbed Brandon Jackson's left arm. Its teeth didn't break the child's skin, but the mother said she had to hit the dolphin's snout until it let go of the boy's arm.

A SeaWorld spokeswoman said the dolphin would be watched and might be retrained in a "behavioral-modification" program.

The family was visiting from Valdosta, Georgia. They were given a private dolphin viewing and four tickets for a return visit.

1. The boy, named Mackeral Herring Piexoto, was repeatedly warned to -
stay away from the dolphin pool.

5. Sounds like he was playing
I might have forced his snout open, but hitting him? Their
skin is rubbery feeling, but a fingernail scratch can
leave a permanent scar. But then, the kid was warned
to stay back.
