Austrailian dolphin incident...

[Brian2by2]

anyone else hear about the 4 lifeguards that were in the ocean when they noticed a pod of dolphins swimming around them, keeping them in the middle. They later noticed a shark swimming on the outside of the 'circle'. After 40 minutes or so, the shark left and the dolphins dispersed...

pretty cool, huh??

Here is the story.

Dolphins are really smart. They can also suffer from depression and have been known to commit suicide. If you've ever seen when the big ships fish for tuna with a net, the dolphins all know to patiently wait for for the divers to come out and lower the net for the dolphins to get out.

Cool article.
Dolphins have been used by US Navy Seals for years.
Bomb detection among other things. :smile:

Oh yeah, they were used back in Vietnam to protect the ports. Their sonar is incredible and they were trained to sense and locate enemy divers attempting to sabotage the ports.

Also read recently that they were used in Desert Storm and Desert Shield
as mine sweepers in the Persian Gulf.

Cool stuff!

Yeah, but not smart enough not to get caught in the first place.

Actually it sounds like it goes down exactly how the dolphins want it to: they get "trapped" in a net full of tuna, they eat until they can barely swim, then humans come and let them out. Sort of like a buffet. No wonder dolphins like people

Dolphin also tastes great in a tuna sandwich.

Mr.Brian2by2, Australia is spelt with one 'i'.

Evidently some fishermen agree about the tastiness. Two of the dolphins have been killed.

Exactly. Dolphin's are no different from any other sea life. All those animal-rights activists went soft watching episodes of Flipper. It's simple. You kill them, cook them, eat them.
