1000 Flowers for the Planet - #43 Query 'Dolphin Safe' Products
It’s easy to think that by purchasing a
product that ensures the safety of a particularly loved marine animal that we
are doing the right thing by that animal and the environment. Sadly, this is
not the whole picture. Labels can be misleading. Can you be sure that the
dolphin safe product, for example, tuna, was even caught in an area where
dolphins were at risk. If no dolphins were even in the area, the claim on the
label is irrelevant. It doesn’t cover the possibility that many other types of
marine creatures could be in the area where tuna is netted. It’s all explained
