There has to be a way to save the dolphins without endangering other suffering ocean critters.

'According to The Cove, they [dolphins] may be more intelligent than people. Why, however, should that entitle them to special treatment?' Maybe this author should watch the film footage again to remind himself of just why people are so furious about what's happening to the dolphins. I am pretty sure other animals would receive the same attention if an afternoon in an abattoir were to be screened on TV...

I read this article carefully and although I love dolphins and all sea creatures the author makes a valid point "what is the difference with killing dolphins as compared to cows being slaughtered and cruelly treated on factory farms".. I say what is the difference not much. We take farm animals for granted they are not the glorious ones there lives are mundane their surroundings dull ,filthy. They should make a film about the farm animals too. Thank you for posting this Cher it raises really important points.
