Analysis
Dolphins are highly intelligent creatures, witg a brain-cell density comparable to tgat of humans.
It is an outrage that they have been enslaved and pressed into military service in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
We need an international convention prohibiting the enslavement of dolphins for military uses.
Rather, we should be enlisting their cooperation in the battle to save life in the oceans and humanity from the effects of global warming and climate change.
