Dolphins often steal fish from the nets to eat. If they cannot eat from fishing nets anymore because Savers are used, they get hungry and is that not bad for the dolphins?

No, first of all dolphins should catch fish in a natural way; by hunting fish. Stealing from the nets is like fast-food for them and this unnatural way will in the long run harm the dolphin population. On top of that, we have operated on dead dolphins caught while stealing fish from fishing nets and found in the stomach a large ball (the size of a football) of small pieces of net that he swallowed while ripping the fish from the net. This large ball of nylon in the stomach cannot be digested or excreted and will eventually cause a serious health problem to a dolphin. So it is only very good if dolphins do not steal fish from the nets.
