The dolphins are literally too smart for their own good. They have learned that the netting operation is a great place to get scooby snacks without having to chase the tuna. Unfortunately, they have not yet figured out how to escape the net.

Fish do the same thing- seagulls, too. Is that a learned behavior? I think dolphins are stupid.

Since it's a dead animal anyway, better sell it, however the price may have something to do with accident rates if being very favorable.......

I recall seeing some hidden camera footage of a dolphin slaughter in Japan. They had them corralled in a harbor, netted then entrance,and went-to-town on them.

Where inIceland are you? I stayed at a bed and breakfast called Annas Guest House, which used to be the czech ambassador's house. has smoked puffin, and monk fish at a "leykjabritten" restauraunt (or thats what the name sounded like)

thats how I understood it.

Airhead, the majority of fishing vessels we boarded for inspection when I was in the Coast Guard were Korean. They outnumbered Japanese ships at least 4 to 1 in the North Pacific. The Russians were the fun ones to board, great traders.

Japanese... Korean... They're all the same, right?

Genetically speaking.. yes.

Culturally speaking.... I wouldn't ever call one the other... liable to get you kung-fu chopped.

In scientific experiments, dolphins refused to attack large living sharks. I'm not talking about Great Whites, but Bull and Nurse sharks.

So who knows.

Eating Killer Whale?? That's disgusting.

Red tail, I'm in the south, roughly 100 miles from the airbase.

I know of the places you mentioned. Lækjarbrekka? Was definately expensive.

No hidden cameras required, its a traditional hunt thats been done for something like 600 years. Theres lots of things they (Asians) find equally strange about our eating habits.

That's why they called it "Chicken Of The Sea."
