off their tanks. Plus, the cruelty involved in their capture is unbearable to see. Just watch "The Cove" to see what it's like. Dolphins aren't caught by hooks, btw.

I don't care how well they're treated. Dolphins do not belong in the desert. Or as playthings for us. And something must be going terribly wrong if this is the third dolphin death since April.
