Four dolphins are still stuck in ice in Newfoundland, and even though the Mayor has appealed for help, an official from the Federal Fisheries Department is only now on the scene to monitor the dolphins. He says that the greatest threat to the dolphins is suffication, not starvation.

He said he has asked the government to send an icebreaker to create a channel to the open Atlantic.

It's sad that the Dolphins were stuck in Newfoundland. I love dolphins I really wish I could swim with them.It's a sin that they are being hunted for dumb reasons. I am from Newfoundland I had no idea the dolphins what most people know them as jumpers even live there. It made me sad watching it knowing that most were dying at the same time as trying to live. I am glad the dolphins got broke free!! :)
