If cetaceans are persons, though with non-human status should they then be subject to punitive measures for any crimes they may commit? I remember when the internet was going crazy about the idea of dolphin rape and dolphin rape caves. I don't know that the problem is as bad as they say, but there is certainly some disturbing behavior exhibited by various dolphin species including orcas, observed by scientists.
