This is my take on the article. The local fishermen who under normal circumstances would have no hesitation in having a jab, injuring or even illegally capturing a dolphin to sell to an unscrupulous captive dolphin facility are aware that Tom is being monitored and know that in the unlikely event that Tom would mess with “their” fish their actions too will be observed and come under scrutiny and indeed legitimate punishment. The idea that Tom can be “relocated” is simply ludicrous.
I'm in touch with Born Free and will keep you informed of any developments.
