¡°These cases can rarely be solved without the public, people coming forward and saying they might have seen something and we can follow up on that,¡± Jacksonville quoted Tracy Dunn, assistant director of NOAA¡¯s Southeast law enforcement division, as saying.
FWC found another dolphin last week off the Panhandle, that had been shot in the side, and another dolphin was found shot in Captiva last year.

One cannot fathom the reason why someone would kill these benign and friendly creatures, who are known loved for their nature and intelligence. The culprit(s) should be given the punishment of the highest order, for hurting creatures who do not have the means to defend themselves.
