This sounds like MutantX:
"The Guardian is reporting on what may be the weirdest Hurricane Katrina story yet. Military trained dolphins may have been released into the wild by the Hurricane's devastation." From the article: "Experts who have studied the U.S. navy's cetacean training exercises claim the 36 mammals could be carrying 'toxic dart' guns. Divers and surfers risk attack, they claim, from a species considered to be among the planet's smartest. The U.S. navy admits it has been training dolphins for military purposes, but has refused to confirm that any are missing. Dolphins have been trained in attack-and-kill missions since the Cold War. The U.S. Atlantic bottlenose dolphins have apparently been taught to shoot terrorists attacking military vessels. Their coastal compound was breached during the storm, sweeping them out to sea. But those who have studied the controversial use of dolphins in the U.S. defence programme claim it is vital they are caught quickly."

**shakes head**
Y'know when faced with facts like these, where we're actually using mammals and other life (intelligent life at that!) in circumstances such as these, it makes me wonder if we shouldnt reclassify the definition 'human' and 'humane'
Will we never learn that just because we can, it doesnt necessarily forego that we should?!?! By all means learn about your environment, explore and measure but to USE other beings for your own end? Humans! Will we never learn?!?! |
