Dolphins and man have had a relationship with each other since ancient times, adapting well to human companionship either in captivity or out.  Several dolphin species, notably bottlenose and common dolphins, pilot whales and orcas, are popular performers in marine-themed amusement parks and aquariums.  Dolphins have also been trained by the United States Navy to retrieve objects or weapons lost at sea, or to act as “guard dogs” around submarine facilities.

Man has also affected dolphins in another manner: hunting and wholesale slaughter.  Despite the affectionate image a dolphin has, man has feared the competition dolphins allegedly bring with regard to commercial fishing.  The Japanese conduct yearly harvests against dolphins in which thousands are slaughtered, and in the late-20th century tuna boats – which ironically rely on dolphins to locate schools of tuna – trapped and drowned thousands more via nets.
