Environmentalist groups fear for the physical condition of up to 25 dolphins flying from the anarchy-torn Solomon Islands to an aquatic park in Mexico this week.
The animals were among 200 wild dolphins captured in the Solomon Islands and held in tiny pens awaiting sale in what activists have branded "an environmental crime."

These guys need to get a life. With all of the challenges facing us these people are worried about flipper. :-(

Hmmm...
All-expense paid flight to Cancun, where one is provided free housing, all-inclusive seafood menu, and a lifestyle of hanging out in the pool all day with naked females!

I think you guys are out of line making light of this very series "enviornmental crime." The poor little guys had to travle in coffin-like containers for crying out loud. See how you like it!

I'm wondering if any of the dolphins got the chance to "extend the friendly finger" during the flight. Mile high club anyone?

"The poor little guys had to travle in coffin-like containers for crying out loud." Actually, I'm getting ready to buy a 2-door Toyota Tercel. Should be about the same thing but with cup-holders. Anything's better than my P.O.S Olds Aurora.

In related news, a spokesdolphin was quoted as saying "Who are these enviro-nutcase chumps? And who nominated them to speak for us? We're getting pulled out of the wild, taken care of, three easy squares a day, and hot chicks in bikinis come up and kiss us. Tell those hemp-smoking, hacky-sack-juggling, long-haired, no-bathing hippie freaks to set their bongs down and go back to the trees they were sitting in, before they screw up the deal for all of us!"
