marine animals now on the menu

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/01/120124151945.htm
Summary- the accidental harvesting of dolphins, porpoises, manates and other warm blooded aquatic animals is rarely monitored. Since 1990, 114 countries have consumed one for more of 87 marine mammal species. The list of animals eaten includes pygymy beaked whale, South Asian river dolphin, the narwhal, the Chilean Dolphin, the long finned pilot whale and many porpoise's. Seals and sea lions are also on the list including the California sea lion and Baikal seal.The polar bear is also part of the list.
Impact- this could impact the population of a lot of our marine mammals. And if countries keep eating our marine life like dolphins and seals, then we could lose a lot of our marine life.
Critique- Who would eat a dolphin? or Whale? That's mean to the sea life. I love dolphins.
