Quit eating tuna. The tuna fishing industry catches dolphins when fishing for yellow fin tuna. For some reason the tuna follow the dolphins so the boats look for the dolphin fins when they set the nets. Then, they set off explosive devices to keep the dolphin in the nets and confuse them. As a result they drown in the nets, hurt themselves, and mill around. As the boats pull in the nets to the deck there are big rollers to bring them in and the dolphins that are caught in the nets get crushed in the rollers. The tuna companies say they don't do this any more, but this has proven not to be true. If you look on cans of tuna you will see a little label that state the tuna is "dolphin safe." If you look online there are films and photos where you can see what happens with the tuna boats and the dolphins.
