I can't find dolphin-safe tuna

It's been awhile since I've wanted a tuna sammich, but when I went to pick up a few cans, none of the brands in stock had the "dolphin-safe" symbol on them.

Uh...?

So I didn't buy any. I thought it was weird though...this is the first time in my whole life I haven't seen dolphin-safe tuna. What happened?

"Don't buy XXXX's tuna because they catch dolphins in those nets." What about the friggin' TUNA?? Yes, dolphins are cuter than tuna and I don't think there's ever been a TV show featuring a tuna who befriends a boy and saves him on numerous occasions, but why is killing tuna perfectly O.K. while a dolphin or two makes that particular brand verboten?

I'm really curious...

5. The only time a tuna saves a boy is when...

the tuna is in a tunafish sandwich. Even then, the tuna is two-faced because Two-faced Tuna(TM) here contains enough mercury to fill 50 thermometers...
