what if..... this is their way of protesting the BP oil spill and stuff.
Since they are so smart and stuff.

I think the dolphins hear the sounds in the sky and it drives them crazy.

I wonder if the U.S. or some other Navy is out playing with the cutting edge Super Sonar equipment again. I recall a huge controversy over the testing of the new stuff off the West Coast when they were attributing beached animals out there to literally being driven to shore by the sounds emitted on high power. I've heard descriptions of what it's supposed to accomplish for a display onboard the subs..and it's buck rogers stuff, to be sure. It isn't worth this kind of slaughter though.

We just had a thread about how Dolphins may have high level and complex language between each other.....and now this? Let's be different as a nation and actually just drop the garbage. If it's artificial, it needs identified and stopped. Period. If it's sonar...Good. Go test it in the Salton Sea or some other landlocked lake with limited life in it. Reserve ocean use to times of REAL war...not testing as it wipes out the higher order critters in our Seas.

I can't imagine what drives Dolphins to do this....but whatever they are responding to must seem like hell itself to them.

Early stages of evolution ,the step from water based to land based is a long and arduous struggle ,these dolphins could well be the early ancestors of future dolphins with feet and hands.
Oh yeah this is sad ,we should help. while the ugly dumb fish can just be eaten

This is so sad. I hope they can figure out what's really going on.

The poles are shifting. Fact. This has to be the cause.....

I just saw on CNN that even more dolphins are beaching themselves now and they don't know what to do.

CNN is doing a live report on it.
