"Few animals, wild or domestic, have the money-earning draw of marine mammals. A single dolphin can generate $1 million a year. A South Florida Sun-Sentinel investigation found that everyone involved benefits, from Third-World fishermen who catch dolphins, to the Cuban government that sells them and cash-poor Caribbean nations that win tourists because of them, to marine parks that can collect $50 or more for every visitor."
