Some internet research confirms that dolphins and whales are both voluntary breathers.

5 out of 5 stars An insightful book about overcoming the capture of local government and public opinion by big business. Some of the ideas might be fanciful (e.g. harming a truck tire with pea pins fired from a pea shooter) but the ideas of collective action and collective support have been repeatedly shown to work. Give a copy to people (young and old) who need the encouragement to participate in collective action.
5 out of 5 stars This was an excellent story with information about the world and characters unfolded over the book. The characters and stories are very engaging and well written. I'm looking forward to reading the second book in the series.
