Armed dolphins, trained by the US military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies underwater, may be missing in the Gulf of Mexico, reports The Guardian.
Leo Sheridan, 72, a respected accident investigator who has worked for government and industry, said he had received intelligence from sources close to the US government’s marine fisheries service confirming dolphins had escaped. ‘My concern is that they have learnt to shoot at divers in wetsuits who have simulated terrorists in exercises. If divers or windsurfers are mistaken for a spy or suicide bomber and if equipped with special harnesses carrying toxic darts, they could fire,’ he said.
Hopefully these maverick cetaceans will fight the red giant crabs devouring everything off the coast of Norway. After all, they were transported to the Barents sea by none other than Stalin. So here’s hoping they are cold war mindset dolphins. They are actually called the Red giant crabs too!
