And why not make it a long, agonizing death, like those dolphins get? How about being tortured to death?

Unlike domestic cows, and chickens, the dolphins suffer a long, and painful, death. According to what I saw on that movie "The Cove" (2009).

Also, according an episode of "Whale Wars" some harpooned whales took as long as 20 minutes to die.

Cows, and chickens, never know what the hit them, whereas trapped dolphins are confused, and terrified, and die horribly.

I can get the soundrack of your entire lifetime on a 32G micro-SD card.
