Well, for example, many tuna fishermen look for dolphins (which often hunt tuna) and spread nets around them. They then haul everything out of the water. The dolphins are "accidentally" killed because they suffocate. Solution - don't spread nets around dolphins. Dolphins congregate around target fish but don't like loud noises. Solution - require pingers on nets to scare dolphins off. >Makes no sense to me to be screaming about accidental killngs . . . 7 million dolphins have been 'accidentally' killed since 1950. That's a lot of dolphins. Would you scream if even two of your pets were 'accidentally' killed by drunk kids shooting their .22's? Even if they were just trying to scare em a little?

Actually, that's another problem, considering all the cruise ships and oil tankers that collide with whales . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
