I thought I was going insane when I heard someone on the news mention mine clearing dolphins. I have many questions, but for now I’ll keep them to myself, and let my imagination take over.
What’s the General Question here?
If it’s, “Will PETA oppose the use of dolphins in finding sea mines?” the answer is almost certainly “yes.” PETA generally opposes the use of animals in potentially dangerous situations, even if the danger is slight.
If it’s, "Has PETA issued a release on this subject yet, a quick scan of their website seems to indicate that the answer is “no.”
Does that answer it?
Actually, they may be a little slow with their website. Here’s a PETA response: link
I’ll be damned.
Change my first answer to “certainly, yes.” and my second answer to “yes.”
Nice catch, Mr. Ash. Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board!
