The National Marine Fisheries Service says Navy training off the San Diego County coast has been linked to the deaths of at least three dolphins and may be responsible for two more. . . .

Environmentalists have called on the Navy to suspend activities involved in the deaths and conduct a transparent investigation. A spokesman says the Navy is continuing its training program in the area.

And how many hundreds of thousands of Dolphins are caught in fishermen’s tuna nets every year???

Dolphins are about as smart as a dog or pig and taste great.

I'm going to assume they probably taste a lot like whale, which I didn't care for at all, so I'll pass on the dolphin.

Like all water mammals, much of their brain tissue is no neurons, but insulation to withstand the cold temperatures of the depths.

Now that is very interesting, since the assumption that they must be extremely intelligent is always based on their brain:body size ratio. I have never heard that before.
