thestarduster Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - dstevens, male dolphins will kidnap (steal) female dolphins and perform forced copulations. The males of many dolphin species will kill calves that are not their own, kill other species (e.g. porpoises), kill sick pod members, bite one another and bully etc. Some even cannablise their own kind (e.g. Orcas). They are no different to any other wild animal. People just like to think they are somehow 'divine' and don't do this sort of thing but it is just not true.

Sep 6, 2008 - they are pretty smart though, and unlike other animals they like sex for pleasure ha ha
thestarduster Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - maya, this is another 1 of the many myths about dolphins.Bonobos also mate for pleasure. Also: what animal doesn't mate for pleasure? Pigs can orgasm for 30 min. For most dolphins, the bulk of mating does actually occur in the mating season & less outside of it. Humans don't have mating seasons so it can be defined as pleasure.River dolphins live solo lives & don't mate unless a partner seeks them out during season so River dolphins are just like most other animals who only mate during season.

pissofffreak666 Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - where? how did you cook it? i figured it'd be like salmon to a degree but maybe more tougher? when i rubbed the belly of a dolphin, it seemed very tough on the inside.
Racistaxmmx Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - well i went to eat it at a restaruant in el salvador when i went on a vacation.

jmoctar Says:
Sep 6, 2008 - Because we find it easier to identify with a fellow mammal then we do with a fish. Logically there is no difference but emotionally we empathize with the seal when we witness this.
