Amazing, isn't it?

Check out this concern for animals.

U.S. probes Cuban dolphin deals McKenna, who fights on behalf of no other animal, admits that when it comes to dolphins, ''I am ruthless.'' In trying to stop the Simpsons, she appealed for an international tourism boycott of Anguilla, and she raised money to send O'Barry there in December 2000 to speak publicly on the issue.

Might I suggest international tourism boycott of Cuba, where millions of people are held captive.

As for the trade embargo, O'Barry says: ''I don't agree with the law, but we are using it.'' Clarifying, he adds that ``the embargo should be lifted for humanitarian reasons. However -- and this is very important -- the part of the embargo that prohibits Americans from purchasing dolphins from Cuba should forever remain.''

Interesting distinction.

Now that's just downright bizarre.
