Why is it so important that the tuna be “dolphin safe”?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) January 16th, 2012

These days when it comes to tuna, people ask if it is “dolphin safe”, and won’t eat it if it is not. If you do what you can not to kill any dolphins but it happens, it will not make the tuna taste any worse. To reject eating some tuna because some dolphins die during the capture is about as logical as avoiding a stretch of road because it was not “kitten safe”, “armadillo safe”, “deer safe”, etc. Animals get tagged by cars but people still drive those roads, so why is it more important that the tuna be “dolphin safe”?
