Hmmm judging your respect for the serious subject of Dolphins vs humans is a tricky one.

(If you think swimming with dolphins is expensive, swimming with sharks cost me an arm and a leg)
My daughter has sponsored 'Rainbow' for fifteen years. We went on holiday to the Black Isle to see any dolphins and they were out. How shellfish.
I'm not saying my mother-in-law is fat but when she had a swim it took fifteen attempts to get out of the sea - every time she tried to get out, Greenpeace pushed her back in.

Did you know scientists claim that dolphins are second to man in intelligence?
That means woman just got pushed to 3rd place.

The islanders claim it is killing for food. If so, then fair enough, so long as they are eating as much of the animals as possible. It's an interesting question as to whether 50,000 people eat 1,500 dolphins in a year.

The people involved are supposed to be licenced and trained in how to kill as quickly and humanely as possible. but there are suggestions that it is a bit of a free for all with people using power tools to try to kill the dolphins. Certainly some of the injuries look more like propeller damage than humane dispatching.

As I say, if they are doing it properly and are going to eat all of the meat, then I can see an argument for it - is it any different to eating a cow, pig , deer or a pheasant? In all cases, humane dispatch is essential.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
