Beating a dolphin for dinner

The other day I was watching environmental videos and I came across this Dolphin safe tuna video. In the video they didn’t show the message that they were trying to get across very well. I thought the video was pretty funny and it caught my attention, but I didn’t really understand what it was trying to say. At the end of the video it showed that it was dolphin safe tuna so I did some research on it and found that not all tuna companies actually have dolphin safe tuna even though they say they do. I think this is what the video was trying to show, that some companies are actually really mean to the dolphins and still put them in the tuna, even though they say otherwise. If the video had a little more information about the dolphins, it would’ve been better and more understanding. It would’ve gotten its point across. If the video had talked about the actual tuna companies lying about their dolphin safety, then the video would’ve been more truthful and better.

  1. Just wanted to clarify that its not that dolphins that are getting put into the tuna that we eat but that some might get killed in the process of catching the tuna. I just did the blog on this as well not realizing that you had already done it. Any chance you could get a link up of the video you saw?
