8 BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS FOUND OFF GULFPORT Tue Sep 13 2005 19:59:07 ET
Eight bottlenose dolphins that were washed out of their Mississippi aquarium pool during Hurricane Katrina have been found alive, huddled together in the fetid waters off Gulfport, Miss, the BOSTON GLOBE will report on Wednesday.
Now, deeply worried about the dolphins' chances of survival, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration officials and aquarium biologists are racing to rescue the weak and wounded animals - some of which have never before ventured into the wild.
"These animals found us, they came back after Katrina ... they came home," said Moby Solangi, president of the Marine Life Oceanarium in Gulfport. "All eight are together. It's the most wonderful news."
Established in 1956, the facility suffered catastrophic damage in the storm. Along with the dolphins, 19 sea lions were swept out of their pools when a giant storm surge engulfed the Oceanarium. Five of them are still missing.

If Teddy Kennedy had dated a bottlenose dolphin, he'd be President of the United States today.

Teddy loves dolphins because they can swim if he drives off a bridge and can't testify no matter what happens.

Bush's fault. He knew those dolphins were there, and did nothing to help.

Mayor Nagin has declared the dolphins should head the mandatory evacuation order or be shot by the National Guard... But Blanco has declared the dolphins can stay, but the Red Cross must not feed them.
I know, I know... wrong state. But they would if they could!

These are obviously dolphins who have been too long trapped in the welfare state, and came back looking for someone to give them a handout.
