Would any of these be the "killer dolphins" that got loose?

No, they are too busy engaged in their war with the laser-beam shooting sharks.

I think that's actually the tank filter.

About 10,000 animals died after four days without support systems at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas.

That's a shame -- I've been there. I imagine that some fairly rare specimens were lost.

So perhaps the fishing and shrimp industries shall once again be a reality in our gulf states.

Y'all order the seafood ... I'll have the steak.

Maybe someone just saw one dolphin, eight times.

Potential chaos wherever we turn ... we do seem to have fouled our own nest ... but, the eco-terrorist/green folks are really communists in eco-clothing ... so, where do we turn? ... LOL

Gee that's an easy one to anwwer. GHOST BUSTERS! Seriously.
Without going into a long discussion, been traveling most of the day visiting family and I'm shot. Not all environmentalist are whackos. Many a university for instance has down very professional work accross the whole spectrum of say industrial pollution that affects the food chains in salt marsh to Marine environments that without a doubt can show where the end product, e.g. that we eat are loaded the all forms of cancer producing compounds. Good science and follow up clean up measures can as proven in the past, in cases I am personally aware of, to the extent of living in these areas where it was obvious a whole river system almost reached the point where nothing could live in it, was slowling allowed to return to the point where it is now able to support an abundant variety of wildlife. The industries such as petrochemical plants just to name one pumped onbelievable amounts of really bad things into streams and rivers and coastal salt marsh areas in various east coast areas, and the end result is that fish eat the lower marine life that are full of really bad compounds, then we eat the fish. More people get liver cancer for instance as a result.
So good science coupled with honest, intellegent government can work together to both improve as well as bring back eco systems that have been damaged or worse. Of course it is often tought to decern when some advocate is being honest and neutral.
