Did police compare dolphin DNA with that found on hoe handle?

The dolphin martyred itself in protest of the opening of the Phuket Dolphinarium. These dolphins are much smarter than we thought.

Suicide - case closed.

Is it still edible..?

Dolphins in the region are really lucky.

The Chinese have not yet invented an "ancient medicine" which relies on dolphin penis.

and the Japanese just don't like the taste.
