Dolphins Safe

A group of local men braved dangerous broken ice and frigid waters in a fiberglass speedboat to rescue a pod of dolphins and help them back to open water, the mayor of Seal Cove, Newfoundland, said Thursday.
"We didn't get any response from [the Department of Fisheries and Oceans]. It takes so long to get things done when you go through government departments," said the Mayor.
The dolphins had been stranded by a slab of ice since Sunday in White Bay off the coast of Seal Cove, a village of about 400 people. A chunk of ice was rapidly closing in around the mammals and threatening to suffocate them.
It took the four men about three hours to break a channel in the ice with their boat.
