This species of dolphins is nearing extinction and these civilized human beings are slaughtering them. These "civilized" people are killing in celebration. In celebration of what? Becoming mature adults. Not only are these animals murdered, they are murdered painfully. It takes approximately three blows with thick hooks for them to lose enough blood; leaving them to die slowly. They come to their human companions in the water to play and are killed. They are unknowing, defenseless, and innocent animals like newborn children. This killing must stop before we lose yet another beautiful species on our planet.
