Training dolphins? Does not "training" imply that one is in a trainee status? And are not both of those meant to be temporary? And, are not dolphins meant to be permanent? If so, then why bother bestowing a special badge for a trainee who is aspiring to work beyond that status? Makes little sense to me.
