Dolphins: shotgun or rifle?

Ya ever tried ta grin down a dolphin? :smiley:

Sick, absolutely sick. Aren’t you all aware that Flipper died for your sins? Yeeeeeesh! OK smileys, in unison now, a 1, a 2, a 3… :really: :really: :really:

Which tour company?

One of times I was in Ireland we took a tour bus and stopped by a bay. The operator, a marine biologist by profession, said he used to take people out to see them, but then the town folk got wind of it and were pissed that the company wasn’t giving them a cut. (he claimed it wasn’t officially part of the tour, he just liked doing it) Sure enough, a couple of old boys stood next to the bus with shotguns. We never left the bus.

ā€œNuke a Gay Baby Dolphin for Jesusā€

a bumpersticker guarenteed to offend everyone!

Dolphinwatch Carrigaholt is the best one I think. No shotguns, loads of dolphins (one I ā€˜shot’ six weeks ago) :







We have a single solitary dolphin in a little bay near us, he swims with you and plays with people out in canoes. I was talking to a woman there early this week and she said" he’s gay, that’s why the other dolphins chucked him out of the group’ I asked her did she really believe that ā€˜course, why else would he be on his own here swimming with you guys’.

:laughing: Hard to argue with that brand of logic. :laughing:

Yes its ā€œfunā€ thread.
My dad used to catch rabbits years ago, he used to put carrots on big rocks and dowse them in pepper. When the rabbit went to eat them he would sneeze and smash his head on the rock and my dad would then go round lifting all these unconscious bunnies!

Bagging a dolphin is easy if you use the right tools
you need:

and

Lure the dolphin up to the boat with the herring. When he’s close enough jam the can of red bull into the little bung hole in the back of his head. Go have a beer. A few minutes later it’ll be floating bellie up behind the boat. No fuss no muss.

Thats unusual, a German with a problem understanding humour!

You did this deliberately to upset me! Shame, shame, shame! :imp:

Just don’t plan on coming to the US with that kind of attitude! Joke about something like that on your Disney-Fun trip to Florida and you’ll set half the children around you to wailing. One quarter of the remainder will be phoning up the police–the more astute ones will call the Fish and Game Commission directly (criminal offense and a large fine)–and you’ll pray that they arrive quickly to save you from the remaining quarter, who will be beating you to a bloody pulp. Which you would well deserve.

Dolphins are our friends.

They are mammals, and we do not eat them or harm them in any way, but there is a fish sometimes called a ā€œdolphin.ā€. Restaurants here have learned to call it ā€œmahi-mahiā€ in order to avoid Hideous Scenes. ā€œMOM! THEY KILLED FLIPPER! AAAUUUUGGHHH!ā€

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Excellent!!!

re. dolphins - This is getting way too complicated. All you need is a good ash stick with a nail through the end of it. I suppose if you got bored with this you could always stick a low-yield thermonuclear warhead up the dolphin’s wazoo and use it to bait whales. :smiley:

Even this is too complicated - what happened to good old fashioned poisoning with toxic waste?

We don’t? :astonished:

Yeah, well, she’d like to convince us that we don’t eat lamb, either…

Very good point.

Lamb, Stun gun or pack of dogs?

So hard to choose. I’m more drawn to the sheer visceral drama of a ravening dog pack, though.

But they’ll render the meat useless for human consumption…

Dog pack:

Frightening, isn’t it?

Thanks a lot, Nano. Now I’m gonna have nightmares. :moreevil:
