3. Dolphins and whales have complex vocal communications and able to learn an astonishing variety of
behaviours when they come into contact with humans, such as cooperative fishing with native
fishermen.
4. The proponents of the bill of rights argue that the cetacean mind is so advanced and self aware that
whales and dolphins should be classified as ‘non-human person’’ who deserve the right to enjoy life,
liberty and well-being.

Business in Los Angeles. The captivity of being of this sort particularly in conditions that would not
allow for a decent life is ethically unacceptable. So, commercial whaling should be completely
banned all over the world.
