But look at the rabbits in Australia... their overabundance has destroyed their habitat and their food source.
Humans are destroying their environment because they are acting like the natural animals that we are. Not the reverse.

...what he said.
I could be mininterpreting you burninator, but it seems you are looking at a natural system where humans are apart from animals. Maybe our advanced cognitive ability allows us to consider sustainability as a longterm means of survival, but us homo sapiens are part of a biological system 4.6 billion years old. Assuming this, we would act on instinct before we use our brains to rationalize and think of longterm solutions. Survival doesn't need to be applied to future generations. As long as we can ensure offspring, that is enough from the most basic instinct point of view.
Back to the topic at hand, assuming a moral stance, it is quite disgusting and wrong what is done to the dolphins.
PS Can we find out what we did to deserve the blue dot? (under the skill bar on the side)
