Researcher Margaret Howe’s initial focus with Peter the dolphin was teaching him the basics of human conversation: getting him to listen to speech, then encouraging him to “speak.”

If we humans are really smart then we wouldn't try teach dolphins human language. Instead spend time learn their language. That's what smarter aliens would do if they landed on earth, right?
We need to rethink if we really are as smart as we believe.
I am sure the poor dolphin is having brain spasms just trying to mimic us for some food.

The sad part is that after the experiment ended, Peter committed suicide because he missed Margaret and didn't understand why she'd gone away.

What a lot of animal researchers involved in language research fail to grasp is that certain animals are anatomically incapable of producing language (and particularly english) sounds. Mandarin is far more tonal and may be easier to teach, especially to chimpanzees for example. A better approach would be to develop an interface language, i.e. a language with a simplified grammar which is based purely on tones and clicks that the dolphin can actually produce.

why is it that arrogant human beings think that animals need to 'speak' English – they have their own perfectly good language
