What a crock-of-shit proposition.
Dolphins evolved way before us
so, if any thing we should be treat ourselves as "non-dolphin persons".
Surf with em all the time & they seem intelligent & fun-loving
but I'm fucked if they should be anthropomorphized
which would lead, no doubt, to
a dolphin being inserted into a moisture-suit to captain an interstellar space voyage
fuck...now it's been said, it'll probably happen.

We're pretty close to understanding dolphin language, check this out:
http://cymatica.com/2009/11/14/cymatics ... -alphabet/
"Researchers in the United States and Great Britain are currently using cymatics to create a visual alphabet of dolphin sounds, in hopes of finally decoding the language of dolphins.
Using high definition audio recordings of dolphins, the research team, headed by English acoustics engineer and cymatics researcher, John Stuart Reid, and Florida-based dolphin researcher, Jack Kassewitz, has been able to use cymatics to image the imprint that a dolphin sound makes in water.
They have used cymatics to create “reproducible patterns that are expected to form the basis of a lexicon of dolphin language, each pattern representing a dolphin ‘picture word’” similar to the way Egyptian Hieroglyphics function.
Kassewitz says, “there is strong evidence that dolphins are able able to ’see’ with sound…” And that is why creating images of their language through cymatics may allow us to understand for the first time how dolphin language really works."

back at ya Pimp
but i'm concerned as to what humans will do to our cetacean co-inhabitants,
if they can be described as rapists, they can be adjudged as anything in human terms.

I don't think anyone is seriously describing dolphins as rapists... of course it's not for humans to impose morality on other species - human morality is, well, human by definition. People were just making teh joekz.
It's worth all the hippies remembering that whilst Dolphins might be very smart, they're not smart/strong/skillful enough to become #1 predator in their habitat in the same way that Man has on land.... they're very much part of the incredibly hard existance that is the struggle for survival, very few species make it to a stage of evolution (and more importantly IMHO civilisation) where they can live in relative pampered luxury as humans do.

She hasn't really got a list. She just once told a "hilarious" story about a girl she knew getting raped.
