BRAVE AI:
It is unlawful to disturb a dead dolphin under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), which defines “take” as including the collection of dead animals or parts thereof.
This means that possessing or collecting a dead dolphin without a permit from NOAA, such as those given to marine mammal stranding or rescue teams, is illegal.
AI is imperfect.
So if I find a walleye on my dock...it can’t be dinner??
I'm sure the dead dolphin was past caring. Probably didn't feel the least bothered.
My older brother always used to laugh at the signs at our local park warning, "Do not molest the ducks!"
I was ten years old at the time and didn't get the joke until much later.
Regards,
