Did anyone else see where some dolphins were killed (shot) and then had their lower jaws cut off? This was done in the Gulf Coast just off Mississippi. Is the killing of our marine animals all we can think to do?

I saw that on ABC news this morning, probably some fisherman killing them because he’s catching less fish, must be the dolphins eating his fish why his catch is down, not because we are overfishing the ocean!

Just read this today. The tail was cut off from one as well. Sadly my first thought was in line with Latitude. If you go on a fishing cruise in Florida or go to the piers, the dolphins are constantly molested because they steal fish off of lines, i can only imagine what these same type of people would do if no one was around and they could get away with it. Truly a a shame.
