Dolphins should be smart enough to avoid fishermen with their boats,
noisemakers and nets, and being herded into shore or small coves where people
on foot in the shallows can kill them. They should be able to avoid purse
nets by jumping, too.

I remember a time when whale researchers complained that whales avoided them,
because they claimed the sight and sound of the research vessels reminded the
whales of whaling ships. Those whales were smarter than the dolphins.
