    Dolphins are the angels of our oceans and seas. We can learn so much from them (as well as from the rest of God’s beautiful mammals and animals.) God put the animals and mammals of this earth and seas to take care of and to learn from them, (In return they will take care of us.) Be respectful of all. This earth is God’s gift to all of us. Let’s respect it and take care of it.

  14. Watch The Cove and Save the Dolphins!

    This seems like a no-brainer. As any 9 yr old Hindu would say, “Who would kill a cow?”

    We must do something to preserve the Dolphin life
    and prevent destingtion, asthey are one of the most
    intelligent animals of the sea.

  19. we must do something to visit like toba……..hum beatyful

  20. Why kill dolphins? Between nets & self beaching,global warming & predators-why destroy “The Angels Of The Sea”? Intelligent mammals,so like cousins to humans-who may very well be able to teach, & can already assist us in so many ways! More time & resources should be spent trying to learn to communicate & learn from them,who have already survived all the years of time ’til now! Science & Astrology tells us that 2012 is the “reset” year,when all of the stars,planets & universe will “reset” to the “beginning”(this theory based on the Mayan’s,with modern science & astrology supporting with evidence.

  21. Maria Luisa Leal says:

    Dolphins are wonderful creatures created by God. Is entitled to be free and happy in this world that belongs to them too.

  22. The fact is even sharks are becoming endangered by longline fishing, finning and unethical practices of fishermen from all around the world who travel to find places that are being unregulated. According to research the oceans precious resources are being drained really quickly! The fact is the people need to become aware of what’s happening in the oceans of the world and become involved!
