As opposed to a 500’ factory harvesting boat. Looks like a very decent man.

...instinctively knew it was safe-- didn't squirm. Seemed accustom to being around humans. Perhaps the pescador's kisses, caresses helped; then he gently slips the little guy into pristine sea--hope mamita was nearby!

The dolphin struggled for a while, and then seemed to calm down. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed like he sensed that the fisherman just wanted to help him after a while.

When he tells the dolphin to be calm, the baby immediately responds. I draw the obvious conclusion
