Let’s hope more people are educated about how to treat dolphins.

“The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) revealed that three of the 17 dolphins that have been sighted in the Lingayen Gulf since Monday, January 26, died from injuries believed to have been inflicted by humans,” Eva Visperas in The Philippine Star.

The report noted: “Some of the dolphins were found to have wounds that looked like they were hit by a spear, and one is being treated at the BFAR office in Dagupan City.”

Westly Rosario, chief of BFAR’s National Integrated Fisheries Technology Center in Dagupan, “expressed dismay that some unscrupulous individuals view the animals as food.”
