Neither do many humans.

But there are many, many differences between humans and dolphins. We're smarter, for one. Debate philosophy. Are rarely seriously in danger of starving. Have much more culture. Etc., etc.

People starve to death every day. How are you defining "rarely"?

Are dolphins ever in danger of starving? Looks like they have a fairly abundant food supply that we're the biggest threat to.

Sometimes they died from this cause, yes. The problem is not the available food, is the non-food items present also in the same place. Stomach blockages are not uncommon.
