Many dolphins are killed in the process of tuna catching. Yellow Fin Tuna follow dolphins and the companies that catch tuna watch for the dolphins because they know that tuna is in the area. They spread miles of huge nets out to catch the tuna in, but they also get dolphins in the net. Because the dolphins are mammals they often drown in the nets, some jump over the nets, and others are pulled into the tuna boats. The tuna companies also set off bombs in the water that confuse the dolphins and this drives them into the nets as well. Today, companies state that they are "dolphin free" on their cans, but the dolphin still die.
