What's interesting is the real life news item yesterday that seems to demonstrate that dolphins have a culture:

Now, that might justify dolphin protection as very few speices have ever been demonstrated to have both tool making and using skills, plus a cultural behavior as part of their sentenence.
But the resolution does not justify its action very well, and that is the real weakness of the proposal.
We haven't decided yet was to do, but an absention is likely.
