Dolphins

[Elton]

Dolphins are one of the most intelligent of mammals.

 

Like all mammals, they are warm bloodied and bear their young live.

 

They have one of the largest brains of any mammal, and are very sociable creatures.

 

Crunch question; as warm blooded mammals, they are significantly different to fish. Do dolphins feel pain?

 

 

Moved this to sea fishing, as there may be some charter skippers/anglers that can advise re: dolphin captures

Knowing my luck if I hooked a Dolphin and played it back to the boat the bugger would have a limpet mine on it's back!

I'm told it tastes like beef. It looks like beef.

I'd say yes, for sure.

Chesters Im suprised you didnt eat it during the war.I had always thought it was that common that most people were fed up with eating it?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After all didnt Vera Lynn sing "Whale meat again?"

 

 

 

 

 

I would have asked Leon or Den but there that old they cant remember what they had for tea let alone during the war

[Dick Dastardly]

As for pain of course they feel pain all mammals do!

 

On the subject of Dolphins anyone remember the guy getting done a few years ago for "interfering" with a friendly dolphin off North Sheilds?

[Ken Davison South Wales]

I would still thought that they would make an odd mistake or two. Perhaps like a human who can't resist a dangerous situation/risk?

 

Perhaps they have sharper brains than humans

There was a report on Countryfile (BBC1 Sunday morning) a while back about the problems the Scottish longliners were having with killer whales removing halibut from their longlines. They showed the longlines being hauled in with just the halibut lips on the hooks. Whales/dolphins are obviously smart enough to recognise the danger and act accordingly.
