dolphins are used in war and "anti-terrorist" operations by US army, i've read
which is bad. they are persons too and i don't think they're bright enough to realise what they are used for though! so it's like sending a child to scout in a minefield :roll:

"has profound implications for the ethics of human-dolphin interactions"

They want us to talk to dolphins in the future?
