Killer Whales? No, Killer Dolphins

Military Dolphin

I am alarmed at the idea of our sea saviors being trained to kill! Don't believe me? The Guardian Unlimited reported that armed dolphins escaped from US Naval facilities during Hurricane Katrina. The article explains the dolphins have been trained to shoot toxic darts at terrorists and spies using a specially designed harness and could prove extremely dangerous to surfers and windsurfers should they be mistaken for terrorists by the dolphins. The US Navy admits it has been training dolphins for military purposes, but has refused to confirm that any are missing.

I'm sure animal rights activists are probably going to have a field day with this one.
