Save the Tuna; Eat Dolphin
Save the tunas!
I have just recently become aware of a horrendous atrocity occurring in the fishing industry: cute, playful little tunas are being caught and killed in fishing nets! This is just sickening to me. I realize that tunas are NOT endangered, but how could anyone want to harm these intelligent creatures, especially when there are plenty of large, tasty dolphins in those same nets?
Tuna are one of the most intelligent and playful creatures in the sea. Tuna are known to use tools, such as rocks, to accomplish tasks. They have demonstrated a memory capacity on par with ANY other creature on the planet. In a recent study of fish behavior, tunas escaped from a net and remembered how to do it 11 months later. This is the equivalent of a person recalling something from 40 years ago. Tunas possess a spatial memory the equal of any other, allowing them to mentally "map" their watery enviroment. They can "recognize" another individual fish in a school. No bullshit. You don't have to believe me, you can look this shit up yourself.
Dolphins, on the other hand, are known as the "clowns of the sea." This means what? This means that dolphins inhabit an extremely low rung on the "totem pole of the sea." They're just not respected. They are at the mercy of sharks, killer whales, barracuda, pretty much anything with teeth eat these fuckin' things. And why not? They're delicious! Fresh or from the can, there's just no beatin' a dolphin salad sandwich and a bag of chips. You can find lots of tasty recipes for dolphin at: www.fooddownunder.com. I love it!
As for the "clown" thing, just remember this: You're laughing AT them, not with them. What does that tell you?
So please, PLEASE don't eat the tunas! I beg you, only eat "tuna-safe" dolphin from now on. Your conscience will thank you.
