The ‘Dolphin safe’ designation is a statement on how the Tuna was caught.
‘Dolphin safe’ Tuna must meet these standards:
-No intentional chasing, netting or encirclement of dolphins during an entire tuna fishing trip.
-No use of drift gill nets to catch tuna.
-No accidental killing or serious injury to any dolphins its during the capture.
-No mixing of dolphin-safe and dolphin-deadly tuna in individual boat wells (for accidental kill of dolphins), or in processing or storage facilities.
-Any fishing trip in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean by vessels 400 gross tons and above must have an independent observer on board attesting to the compliance the above standards.
Many environmentally conscious people insist on buying only ‘Dolphin safe’ Tuna, and some scorn those who don’t.
Not to get too analytical here, but the fact that a worker on an offshore oil rig would be so insistent that his fellow worker have a sandwich made from ‘Dolphin safe’ Tuna, would be the irony that forms the foundation for the humor in this cartoon.
I think you guys are missing the gag here.
