The councilman said that there were 17 of the 150 dolphins that were around those who fell in the nets of fishermen in the boat Alexandre Vieira, a brotherhood of the own locality of Mira, which has about 3,000 inhabitants.
According to related Almeida, Mira fishermen, realizing the facts, rushed to cut the nets in order to save the greatest number of dolphins.
