I've never figured out what Rating/NEC is involved in this program. Pretty cool, be a dolphin handler for the Navy.

It's a good thing money grows on trees, otherwise it would be an outrageously irresponsible waste for the government to be spending on this.

This animal lover thanks you for posting this, it's great news!

"We couldn't be more proud we were asked to provide a shelter for these dolphins."

I'm an instant diabetic after reading this.

Hey Buddy,......Could you pass me the insulin please?

[JoJo Gunn]

Here you go....

I would happily designate my own errr "money tree" aka (tax dollars) to be spent on saving the Dolphins and guess what, I consider myself to be a republican.

Did you find out if they got the remaining 4 Dolphins?
I can't find any updates on this.

[WestTexasWend]

None that I can find today...I'll ping you when I find out anything more.

[Gimme]

Thanks, I'd appreciate that.

Would you just as happily have all your fellow taxpayers be unwillingly coerced by force into paying for it?

"Would you just as happily have all your fellow taxpayers be unwillingly coerced by force into paying for it?"

I don't have much say in the matter but saving Dolphins and putting an Aquarium back into business in Miss. seems a whole lot better than spending thousands of tax payer dollars for building a bridge in Alaska that goes NO WHERE, wouldn't you agree?

[FreedomCalls]

Local TV news here is reporting the other four were found today and taken into "custody."

[thoughtomator]

No, I don't agree. I think both are equally wrong actions by the government. Just because it's nice to help dolphins doesn't mean it's correct for a government to be taking its citizens' money for that porpoise.
