It’s one thing to sick a dog on someone, but a dolphin? It’s true, they are considered one of the smartest animals on Earth and highly evolved, which is why it disturbs us they are being used in warfare. Supposedly, back in the sixties the Navy studied dolphins and whales to better understand their sonar capabilities. They used their findings to create their own systems of detecting objects in the ocean.

Today, the U.S. and other nations are training “combat” dolphins and even sea lions to detect mines, suspicious or unwanted underwater activity, to recover and deliver items, find targets and distinguish metals. We’d rather the humans put their guns down, find peace and let the dolphins be.
