Well, the endangered species are endangered either because
1. human involvement
2. natural selection
So I don't see that as a valid argument for not protecting dolphins. It's not really their fault.
Also, we consistently overprotect one not endangered animal (humans) at the expense of all other species.
- briandear 11y agoI would expect humans to protect humans. There aren't any hippos out their attempting to preserve humanity. Hippos look after hippos at the expense of all other species. I can't see how we 'overprotect'

Environmentalists in rich countries have managed to get lions and tigers (and probably crocodiles, but I can't affirm that from personal knowledge) protected despite the objections of the humans living nearby who hate being eaten.
