I don't understand. Are dolphins campaigning for land rights or something?

Maybe that's the problem, they can't hold signs to protest. Perhaps if we figured out a way to help them hold signs they'd be able to live on land again.

Before we get to that point, has anyone asked a dolphin if they want to live on land?
