But residents who did eat the meat were all doing fine, Jidawi said.Well, that's nice. Getting the chance to kill them and eat them before their bodies float up to the shoreline is so much more preferable and less saddening.

Daniel was a dolphin with wide innocent eyes
We met him seven years ago in an island paradise
He used to meet us at the shore, and swim with us and laugh
And show us games and coral reefs and carry us like a raft
Daniel Dolphin was a real friend,
he knew more than he said
Smart as Daniel was
he used his heart before his head
No one would believe he was
as bright as what we said
One day our grampapa was watching us play
It hurt him that we ran along and with him did not stay
and so he followed us along the sunny, sandy shore
He got so far behind us that he couldn’t walk anymore
Daniel Dolphin was a real friend,
he knew more than he said
Smart as Daniel was
he used his heart before his head
No one would believe he was
as bright as what we said
No one knew he loved us.
There were the young ones playing, there was the old one praying
Daniel took our grandpapa away through the waves
they couldn’t find him anywhere in the coral reefs or caves
But three days later Daniel came, but they killed him angrily
But not before he brought to shore a tiny old brand new baby
Daniel Dolphin was a real friend,
he knew more than he said
Smart as Daniel was
he used his heart before his head
No one would believe he was
as bright as what we said
No one knew he loved us.
No one knew he loved us.

I was okay with the torturing Iraqis, but slaughtering dolphins is a step too far.

It is criminal. Everytime I read an article like this, it sickens me. The collective military of all nations is now aware that sonar emits a frequency so painful to animals that it is killing them: dolphins, whales, etc. They literally are so shocked and stunned by the soundwaves that their brains, ears etc. rupture and they are made unconscience and bleed out of their ears eyes and nose. Yet, we allow it to continue. WTF? Evidence is in Recent article in Discover Mag. among others. I wonder how long it will take and how many of these marine animals will have to die because of this stupiditiy and feeling of superiority.
Yet as I write this, I look at what I write and find I am a hypocrite, as I eat meat (love it) and know that testing of drugs on animals while VILE to think of, does (hopefully) allow geneticists the necessary experimentation to come up with “fixes” for diseases and other plagues of the human race. I am a dichotomy and utter contradiction of myself and in part I am ashamed. Go figure.
