Question: What does Dolphin Safe on a Tuna Can mean!.!?
Just say wat it meansWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
The nets used to catch the tuna have a kind of "zipper" woven into the nets with a line that can be broken through by dolphins but not tuna!. ( A slit that is resewn with a weak "thread') It is a more expensive way for the tuna fisherman because they have to repair their nets a lot and lose tuna in the process!.

Only US caught tuna has to be caught this way and not for long since these Trade Agreements ( like NAFTA and CAFTA ) are super-ceding laws that we took years to get passed!.!.!.just another way to get around US Law by the International Corporations like TYSON seafoods!.

(They are also shipping Alaska Salmon to China to get processed in filthy processing factories and then when it comes back to the US - It is still labeled US salmon!)Www@FoodAQ@Com

It means that the type of nets used by that company is safe for dolphins or that comapny doesn't use nets to catch their tuna!.
Dolphins drown if caught in nets as the are mammals, nets hold them underwater!.
So a strike(boycott) in the late 1980's of Tuna happened until the better nets were brought to use by this industry!. Now the if the dolphins get scooped up in the nets they are made so they can swim out!.
Sad to note:The Dolphin population has not completely recovered!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It means that no dolphins were harmed in the making of the tuna, but I always think of something funny Ronny Dangerfield once said, "Dolphin safe tuna is great for the dolphin, but what about the freaking tuna!?"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Obviously, it means the tuna is quite safe to feed to DOLPHINS!. However, it makes you wonder how good it'll taste to you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
