Are you sure about that? Are you sure it isn't just because they are relatively rare and their meat doesn't taste good?

Also tradition. E.g. pigs are about equal in intelligence to dolphins and chimpanzees.

Things might change if we find out they are made of bacon.

Mink Whales are delicious. (Just out of ignorance, I would assume dolphins probably taste similar-ish?)

I've only found a few posts that describe the taste of dolphin. This entry (https://www.wideislandview.com/2010/03/28/bon-appetit-what-i...) described it as tasting like liver with a beefy texture. That doesn't sound terribly appetizing to my personal taste.

I'm willing to bet if they tasted half as good as octopus they would already be extinct.
