to Dolphins/Seals in mine Sweeping in War

[Guest guest]

Lins follow.

In the print ediition I read inthe Chronicle- animal rights groups

(IDA?) are quoted as (paraphrase)... " in time of war we dont want to

second guess the use of dolphins " ...only part of the quote.

 

Also the quote indicated the protest was mainly towards use of slings

to transport the dolphins rather than their use in the first place

(this could have been reported partially only )
