(2003-03-27) — After hearing they could serve their country by finding mines in the Persian Gulf, members of the 1972 Superbowl Champion Miami Dolphins reported for duty in Kuwait. Their presence may defuse a conflict between animal rights activists and coalition military leaders.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) hailed the arrival of the retired football players, and called on the coalition forces to cease using marine mammal systems to find floating mines.
“There’s no need to risk animal lives when humans can be used,” said PETA President Ingrid Newkirk.
