Dolphins = tuna

Sent via tapatalk

Dolphins are mammals tuna are fish. The only thing remotelybthevsame about them is they live in the ocean. Dumb banner choice this week.

For a long time now, there has been a ton of controversy over Tuna fisherman killing dolphins in their Tuna nets. It made so much of a stink that a "Dolphin Safe" label is placed on some tuna cans.

I thought it was an inventive slogan.

The Tuna Boycott Which Led To The “Dolphin Safe” Tuna Label
During the late 1950's, in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP), fishing fleets, using purse seine nets, began to catch tuna by spotting, herding and encircling dolphins on the surface. This was done because large yellowfin tuna follow and school beneath the dolphins, and are therefore easily caught using this method

An estimated 7 million dolphins have been killed by this fishing method over the past four decades, the largest marine mammal kill in history.
In 1986,the International Marine Mammal Project, one of the original projects sponsored by Earth Island Institute, organised a campaign, including a consumer boycott of tuna, in order to urge U.S. tuna companies to end the practice of intentionally chasing and netting dolphins with purse seine nets, and to adopt "Dolphin Safe" fishing practices to prevent the drowning of dolphins in tuna nets.

In 1988, biologist Samuel LaBudde signed aboard a Panamanian-flagged tuna fishing vessel in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. Using a video camera, LaBudde recorded the horrifying images of hundreds of dolphins dying in tuna nets. The video shocked the world, and people around the world joined in the tuna boycott.

In 1990, the three largest tuna companies in the world - StarKist, Bumblebee, and Chicken of the Sea - agreed to stop purchasing, processing, and selling tuna caught by intentional chasing and netting of dolphins.

Well, the Dolphins certainly did melt yesterday under the pressure. So maybe Madjack is a prophet as well as a sign-maker.

ever hear of "dolphin safe tuna"? Dolphins used end up in tuna often. Might still to this day.

Great banner choice IMO, but mostly playing off of when Tuna was working for the phins. Still works.

Thanks for posting this Brian. How appropriate for Mad Jack to have expressed the feelings for the entire Cardinal Nation concerning Sandy Hook School. I count this one as Jack's very best yet. A sad time indeed for our country to be reeling yet again with the tragedy of little lives lost because of the anger of one person. God Bless you Mad Jack. God Bless America.
