I guess it was a wise decision...

sad, but that's life... Crying or Very sad

I actually remember him, a little. I lived near Portland OR for a few years when I was little, and the zoo was my favorite place. It was for the best though, from what I understand he was in great pain. Crying or Very sad

I remember seeing him swim around his tank all the time like he was having fun showing off...

Aaww, always a sad thing when trainers and caretakers have to make that choice.
Dolphinaruim Harderwijk the Netherlands has some Stellar's.
And if I'm correst, Artis in Amerdam the Netherlands has also some Sterrar's.
