the dumber they are, the more delicious..

Yeah, but at least they’re off to a 3-0 start.

Their social lives are complex, and they can congregate in large groups. Their heart rates increase when they notice a family member suffering. They sound the alarm when they discover food or a potential threat. And experiments have shown they even anticipate future events. Biologist Justin Gregg is talking about chickens.

The real question is: Are Democrats smarter than chickens?

Let's look at the evidence for Democrat intelligence vs. chickens:

Chickens vs. Democrats

Their social lives are complex Democrats: Check
they can congregate in large groups Democrats: Check
heir heart rates increase when they notice a family member suffering. Democrats: Check.
They sound the alarm when they discover food Democrats: Check
or a potential threat. Democrats: Fail
they even anticipate future events.Democrats: Fail

There we have it: Chickens are smarter than Democrats.

Well, now the intelligent ones left, leaving behind the message “so long and thanks for all the fish.”

[montag813]

Great! Can we finally have Tuna-free Dolphin in stores?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Grilled dolphin for everybody!

[Mrs. Don-o]

For later.

As L'Oreal says, "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful! "

A friend went swimming with the dolphins while visiting Puerto Vallarta (I think). She had fun & asked the trainers if the dolphins enjoyed the interaction with humans. The response was, “They like the fish.” LOL!

[Misterioso]

It seems Flipper was a flash in the pan.

I remember as a naive kid hearing that dolphins were known to push shipwrecked sailors to shore and telling it to my grandfather. He promptly replied; “Of course the ones they pushed the other way never got to tell their story”. Gramps was a realist.

[Thorliveshere]

Good. I’m sick and tired of hearing how “intelligent” they are all the time.

[US_MilitaryRules]

I watch porpoise a lot. They are always having sex. That is all they do.

[Vendome]

Just some jack wagon contrarian.

Dolphins are our friends.

[Rocky]

Well, it’s no wonder. The smart dolphins have all left Planet Earth. You can read about it in “So Long and Thanks for All the Fish” by Douglas Adams.

[hinckley buzzard]

Marineland, Flipper, Free Willy, all the liberal weenies who think animals are better than people because, well, they are cute and harmless, have conditioned the wackoes to equate porpoises with people. Height of absurdity, but stranger things may lie in wait...

[Inyo-Mono]

the claims that dolphins have a particularly complex brain, use a sophisticated language, are self-aware and can use tools are nonsense.

No surprise to those of us who have observed and studied various forms of wildlife for a lifetime.

[nvscanman]

I don’t know what the author’s agenda is but to say cetaceans are not
intelligent merely shows the author is lacking in intellect.

Measuring cetacean intelligence is difficult because they and their
environment are so extremely different from us we have nothing in
common and no basis for measurement. Dolphins rule in their own
environment. They formulate and implement complex hunting strategies
and perform complex actions. They play.....an act reserved for higher
levels of intellect..... smart predators play, stupid prey do not.

And the “they can’t be that bright if they get caught in a net” line is just
stupid. Dolphins get caught in these MASSIVE nets surrounded by tuna
and other game fish. They can’t maneuver, they are “blind” as their sonar
is impeded by the surrounding environment and THEY DROWN before they
can escape. We only know about those that fail to escape these nets.....
we have NO way to know how often they escape because they ARE smart.
