Dolphins Are So Cute!

They're playful and lovable and smart and kind and gentle ...

So the other evening we were watching some Shark Week wannabe program on PBS (what a waste of borrowed Chinese money!) where they were cataloging all these predators off the coast of South Africa, but when it came to the dolphins, it was all sweetness and light. They talked about this mammoth annual sardine run where zillions of the little guys swim up the eastern coast of South Africa. All along the way they get devoured by everything in sight - sharks, seagulls, whales and ... dolphins.

How come the dolphins are never portrayed as the mass-murderers of the sea? The poor sardines are just trying to swim up north and the dolphins are herding them into big balls and inhaling them as fast as they can. What a bunch of jerks.

Dolphins - engines of death.
