  2. I remember a show I watched about military dolphin on Armed Dolphins Released Into Gulf of Mexico · · Score: 1

    it was a show on the discovery channel showing off how u.s. was training dolphins for military purposes, attaching daggers to there heads and letting the dolphins go do there job. But they released it wouldnt work very good because after the years(i think it was years) it took to train the dolphin to hunt people the dolphin wasnt reusable. After the dolphin saw the damaged it cause with the blood and the pain it would swim off and would never do it again. on a side note: OH CRAP WE BETTER GET THOSE DOLPHINS OUT THE OCEAN AND BACK INTO THERE TANKS OR ELSE THEY COULD BE FREE.
