One of the dolphins is called K-Dog!! What now animals get rapper names (and it's another animal too)??!

well he was probably named by a jar-head, hence both the rap relevance and the confusion over what animal he was looking at.

Dolphins are awesome animals.

According to the article, they've been doing this for 35 years. Was Command & Conquer released before 1972?

Huh.  I have no idea how I feel about that.  Dolphins are awesome, but this just seems wrong to me.  Then again, I'm a total tree-hugger.

But look how happy the dolphin looks!

When I first saw the picture I had the same response- If I was that dolphin I'd be like, "get this damn camera off my fin!".

I am a bit of a tree hugger myself. When I was younger I would donate my allowance to the 'save the tiger foundation'. I was an idiot maybe. I don't know how that little money helped heh.

But I see no problem with this considering America is so full of tree huggers who allow animals the utmost respect. I have a lot of respect for the humanity and love Americans show to animals. In other parts of the world they aren't so lucky.  >:(

This is very true.  It can be really depressing.  I'm all for having a working relationship with animals if it benefits them to some degree and seems to work for everybody, but this just sounds a bit too much like putting them in harm's way.

Wasn't there some military operation that used rabbits and other rodents to clear out minefields (which is why it was ironic in Full Throttle with the battery operated bunnies)

Oh and thanks for that Wind :D I took ACTION!
