   MARINE SCIENTISTS WANT TO KILL 60 DOLPHINS

   The researchers from the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research want to kill 60 dolphins. They've sent an application to this affect to the Ministry of Fisheries. This quite… puzzling bits of news reached us recently and we proceeded to find out why these people would want to kill all the dolphins.
   - We know so little about these two particular subspecies of dolphins and we want to find out more about them.
   - In other words you want to kill 60 living beings because of curiosity?
   - … Well, yes. They're not threatened by extinction or something, so it shouldn't be a problem.
   - Some people may say it's a problem that a person or a group of person want to kill of living beings because of curiosity?
   - I don't see it that way. They eat a lot of fish and…
   - This particular group of people or the dolphins?
   SLAM (the sound of the representative from the institute hanging up).
   That's it, the interview in a nutshell. There was more, but this covers most of it, the essentials, so to speak. We can only conclude that the institute doesn't want an open debate on the matter.
