The dolphins may be competing for the same fish that the fishing boat was going after, and getting tangled in the nets slows down the fishing, which costs them money. It is not unreasonable for a cruel, vindictive person to kill the dolphins rather than take the time to try to free them.
With fur, however, it is much harder to understand how even a sadist would operate in a manner that jeopardizes their own livelihood.
