A few days ago more dead dolphins washed onto Iran's Gulf shore, a total of 152 have died this way over the past month. The cause of death has not been confirmed, but early on they were labeled as "kamikaze" or "suicide" dolphins. Now I'm not exactly sure where these allegations came from. Is it a phenomena which has happened before, so that when 100 dolphins wash up to shore-it's called mass suicide? Are they Iranian dolphin martyrs, and if so what could their message be? I sort of lean towards this theory because I'm already convinced that Iranian mosquitoes are suicidal.
Now, the blame is being tossed about, from pollution and oil contamination to radio waves and fisherman nets...While environmental agencies are doing their own digging about, Iran's fishery is pinning the rooster's tail on their classic enemy: those bloody Americans again and their spying dolphins!
Meanwhile with the help of some nosy cyber-friends, we discovered this article from a few years back about kamikaze dolphins that Russia sold to Iran. Is it just me, or is this article very strange?...And more about 'military dolphins'....OK it's probably just a funny coincidence. But it is a sad, and fishy, story indeed. I wonder if anyone could shed some light...
