Answer

Is it dangerous to throw objects into a dolphin pool?

Yes. Dolphins and other marine mammals can swallow foreign objects, and that can become life-threatening very quickly. Even something that seems harmless can cause injury, stress, or illness, which is why protected pools and enclosures must never be disturbed.
