Dolphin Jumps Again with Artificial Fin
Ant writes "This Yahoo! News story mentions Fuji, a mother dolphin that lost 75 percent of her tail due to a mysterious disease, being able to jump again with the help of what is believed to be the world's first artificial fin. The 34-year-old dolphin held at Japan's largest aquarium in the southern island of Okinawa wears the rubber fin for about 20 minutes a day allowing her to jump and to swim at the same speed of other dolphins."
Honestly, everyone one would have been much better served with dolphin steaks.
The Vietnam vet is still sitting by the side of the road singing about how he has no legs.

That's nice but is that really the best use of resources? Artificial limbs for dolphins that will be used for 20 minutes a day?
I know they'd probably taste good with the proper seasoning. Only a liberal retard would waste time trying to fit an artifical fin to a damned dolphin. What kind of goofey tree-hugger nonsense is that anyway?
Kill it, grill it, shit it, flush it...
safety from a boating accident. It was like a miracle. I was in the ocean and it came along, they are quite large and i crawled on its back and it took me to shallow water. I thanked it by dragging it onto shore, and driving a stake through it, securing it to a slow death on the beach. Stupid ass animal.
I remember the old days when japanese fishermen would stab the dolphins with long spears... it was good for the econemy, this isn't.
We have environmentalists to thank for this. The liberals, who love their current issue more then they love what the claim to believe in. Look at how downhill Germany has gone since the liberal government has taken over. It's Japan now, and soon the United States. The world is lucky John Kerry's doplomatic anarchy didn't win Federal power. A true liberal goes for what's best for his country, not what's popular.
they seemed friendly, they seemed smart, they saved drowning people.. but they have a nasty side. Apparently they batter their own children to death for kicks. Yikes! Give us our fin back, you evil sods!
