I get it. The dolphin living is worse than the lobster being killed.

I guess I feel differently about an animal who is killed after a short life, like a mink for example...than a dolphin (a highly intelligent being) being kept in captivity for years and years. YMMV.

I have an idea that will make you feel better about it.
Let's raise the dolphins using tourist dollars, let them swim around with some kids until they reach a good butchering age, and then kill them so you can eat them. Makes much more sense.

I'd probably eat dolphin (never been offered any), but I don't want to swim with them in captivity. You're welcome to your opinion.

I think small fish like sardines also find them annoying.Is it only me that finds baby seals kind of annoying?

I caught and ate a lot of dolphin last time I was in the Keys.

That's dolphinfish, a fish (as opposed to dolphins, mammals) - right?

I think we can all take a cue from Ron and lighten up.
It is better to have beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear.

Why aren't dolphins called "dolphinmammals", then? And do they get any royalties from Flipper?

That reminds me of a Christmas lights festival we used to have here called "Light Up Louisville!" It was sponsored by Brown & Williamson, a major tobacco company. Coincidence, I think not.I think we can all take a cue from Ron and lighten up.
