Well, perhaps killing them as mentioned in that other thread is wrong then.

Maybe they don't think like we do. Maybe they know what goes down elsewhere and just don't behave as humans would in such a situation. Maybe they are more advanced than us in some ways. One can hope ... so many possibilities, and we know so little, really.

The article didn't specify that these dolphin had young with them, and rounding up the humans along with their own young would be more understandable/straightforward behavior. Protecting an alien species with no apparent benefit to their own survival is amazing.

Re: Flipper Lives
this sort of occurrence has happened many times over the years. the 'rounding up' is a somewhat new twist, however. dont recall ever hearing one quite like that before.

Hold the beer, Hosakawa. Dolphins are known to corral other species into "bait balls" for sharks and birds...
