Of course it is different to kill a dolphin than it is to kill a cow or tuna.

Anyone that has ever taken a basic science class or two should understand the significance of the sentience/sapience/social behavior seen in dolphins. Dolphins being cute is why they are kept in captivity(which usually makes them very sick/they end up needing complex medical interventions, on antidepressants etc). That is not why they are seen as having a human-like mind.

YT are not intelligent. Big fish look intelligent due to their size. They do have some limited table manners, but are for the most part mindless eating machines.

And in India not only do they not eat cows... They used to engage in widow burning... Still engage in some forms of wife burning rarely. Not wrong, just a different culture? Just because something happens in the context of another culture does not make it ethical.
