    Because man hunts the same fish that dolphins hunt. Men use nets and nets catch everything in its wake.

    Dolphins are extremely intelligent.

    Just because they don't understand our culture and what we do and what we use doesn't make them stupid.

    We are the stupid ones for inventing a net to catch salmon and other small fish and instead catching dolphins.

    its a common and wellknown fact that things are not always as they seem... Man had always assume to be the most intelligent species on earth, instead of the 3rd most intelligent, that was the case.

    Dolphins were ofcourse the second most intelligent beings on the earth. Man had always thought himself superior to dolphins because man had invented weapons, battleships, war and stuff like that and dolphins had not. Interestingly enough, dolphins thought they were more intelligent for the exactly same reasons...

    The problem is that fishing nets are very difficult to see, even for humans, so it has little to do with intelligence.

    spiritually speaking why are humans so stupid.... some of them get into fish nets without even being in water

    Men are even smarter and they are often caught by stupid predators on land and sea. But dolphins are only caught by top predators.
