It is not a matter of choice, but a matter of duty and obligation to our specie. We should stop polluting and suffucoating this planet and other inhabitants to extinction. But as man is cruel, so can it also be good. To save the dolphins is our responsibility. Let the campaign to save them start, the funding flow and the conservation efforts begin. There is no time to waste.

I really hope that something can be done for these animals because they are smart animals, they are not fish they are somewhat like all mamals on earth, and their social order is like that of land mamels.
