"they have no idea that lives will be lost if they fail to perform tasks properly."

Uh... is PETA saying that animals are not as smart as humans? That must be a misquote, they usually say otherwise!

These are babies!
They're tiny babies!

Don't tell me that dolphin's not enjoying hunting scumbags. That is one smart dolphin. In the wild, he'd be a king.

Not Long ago, Animal Planet (i think it was AP) did a segment on Animals in the military and specifically porpoises and seals. They are awesome. They were used in 'Nam to check the harbors for mines and explosives. Maybe AP will run it again soon.

When I was in the marine corp 83-87, I was stationed in Kanaohe Bay Marine Air Station, Oahu, HI. I was a battery operated grunt(radio operator, fac team,). If you took a strow over to air wing side of the base, you would come across a top secret navy training base strictly for training dolphins. I was very fortunate to be able to witness there training, and to actually see what they can do, it was awsome!I cannot tell you the details, but let me say this, If it is necessary, under certain prescribed conditions, the dolphin will actually ram it! To set it off!
