rickudon Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Good luck at getting dolphin stock from another country, they are rare everywhere. Getting agreement on catching, transporting and successfully releasing dolphins is not as simple as shifting a few bulls around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
