In your weird news for today
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34001790
Hamas claims to have captured a dolphin being used as an Israeli spy off the coast of Gaza, local media report.
The militant Palestinian Islamist group, which dominates Gaza, says the mammal was equipped with spying devices, including cameras, according to the newspaper Al-Quds (in Arabic).
It was apparently discovered by a naval unit of Hamas's military wing and brought ashore.
No photographs of the alleged marine secret agent have been released.
Al-Quds said that the newest recruit was "stripped of its will" and turned into "a murderer" by the Israeli security services.
It shows the extent of Israel's "anger" and "indignation" at the formation of Hamas's naval combat unit, the paper reports.
Israeli authorities have not commented on the media reports.
Israel controls most of Gaza's borders, coastline and airspace
It is not the first time that Israel has been accused of using animals - and birds - for spying purposes.
In 2010 Israel dismissed Egyptian claims that a series of shark attacks in the Red Sea could have been the result of a Mossad plot.
A few weeks later a vulture found in Saudi Arabia with a GPS transmitter was accused of being an unwitting Mossad operative.
And in 2012, villagers in Turkey feared a small migratory bird found dead with a ring on its leg had been an Israeli spy. Their fear proved unfounded.

I don't think there is anything crazy about trained dolphins being used in this capacity.
I'm not sure what the use of a vulture with a GPS transmitter is though.
edit: missed a word, there.

Cadaver retrieval? If you put enough trackers out, you would be able to visually see where 'dead' things are abandon in a large area and then manually check hotspots?
I honestly am not sure...

That was my first though too. though are there endangered species of vultures that need tracking?

Hammas is a bit wet behind the ears if they think the Dolphin was there on porpoise.
They shouldn't plaice the blame on Israel.

I am not a great fan of Israeli adventurism, but I wouldn't want anyone to be captured and tortured to death. Though in fairness Hamas normally keep their prisoners in fair condition and hold them for political ransom.

Lately their strategy has been to murder the civilians but ransom the soldiers.

Well this thread landed like a rock at the bottom of the sea. I don't know what will be able to bring it to the surface for a breather. Maybe if we try hard we can net something.

I know it isn't unheard of but I thought it was an amusing story to share. It's just a shame that evidently someone took a light hearted thread and posted something that required Mod intervention.

Hey, I thought it was an awesome story and I think use of marine mammals is pretty cool. I'm for anything that keeps our guys out of harms way, and some of the things they can do, like seeking out mines, are just straight-up life savers all around.
I'm not sure what that guy posted and maybe it's for the best.

I think the Russians also attempted to use dolphins, and possibly some other animals, for military duties too. I didn't get to read the comment either, but judging from the community's reaction the comment had no place here.
