Performance is a white pig of a skillful scalpel. It was laughing heartily, when there was no camera.

@bit0213 Well it's clear you are a heartless human who doesn't have any emotional feelings and has no respect for other intelligent beeings......

[henkgrui]

@bit0213 The guy who is shouting is the real pig as you call it, he should be in a mental clinic....

@bit0213 search for video: Hayden Panettiere - A Hero To Dolphins and you see the real story....

One day, she caught a gull and was given a large haul of fish for her efforts.

She then started to use the fish she won for litter picking to lure gulls into her jaws.

She also taught the tactic to her calf, which passed it on to other youngsters in the pod.

At Dingle, south-west Ireland, a bottlenose nicknamed Fungi regularly entertains sightseers in boats.

Perhaps the most striking example of dolphin intelligence involves Kelly, a member of a pod at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Mississippi which were rewarded with fish for clearing up litter from their pool.

Each piece of litter equated to one fish. To raise her intake of fish, Kelly tore the litter into pieces and presented them one by one.

@henkgrui It is free to oppose a dolphin fishery. They have violated the law of Japan. They are all offenders. The human being who protects an offender is also an offender. She is a swindler although it is called the actress. It was laughing happily except photography. Mass media of Japan is taking a photograph. Do the fishermen of Taiji know which is troubled by violence? He could not understand to you and an ignorant white pig.

The conference heard that dolphins are self-aware – they can recognise themselves in the mirror.

There are also examples of them grieving for lost calves, feeding ailing pod mates and co-operating with fishermen when there is a meal in it for them.

In Laguna, Brazil, when a shoal of fish enters the lagoon, the dolphins herd it towards the fishermen. Any fish that escape their nets provide an easy meal.

It also says that no one has the right to own the creatures or to do anything that undermines their rights, freedoms or norms.

Its authors are using the Vancouver conference to try to get more scientists and members of the public on their side. They believe this is a step towards eventually persuading governments to enshrine the principles in law.

When brain weight is compared with body weight, the dolphin has the second-largest brain on the planet after humans.

Those who drew up the bill of rights are known as the Helsinki Group and include UK members of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society.

They say that thanks to advances in science, it is clear that dolphins are extremely intelligent, complex and sensitive mammals.

The bill of rights states that every individual member of the cetacean order – whales, dolphins and porpoises – has a right to life.
