Well, the pigeons and dolphins are basically being trained to be suicide bombers and get a piece of corn or the expectation of a dead fish for their martyrdom. Not so different from human volunteers, really. Can anyone think of a more perfect business model (excluding questions of morality, of course, which would have no place in profit and loss calculation)?
I read about the events in Cameroon, where one day, whole villages were found to have been gassed by the vapors from the lake during their sleep. The vapors lingered in low spots in the terrain, and people might be walking along fine, unknowing that the CO2 was up to their wastes, until their children dropped unconscious, or they themselves entered a lower spot in the terrain where they would find themselves blacking out as they descended into areas where the CO2 was higher than their head level. They were walking along, and then suddenly passing out and dying where they fell, to be found later by friends, who would realize that they themselves were suddenly in deep trouble.
