I am also against factory farming. That is orthogonal to the argument about there being plenty of pigs/dolphins.

You said "but we're not farming dolphins". My point is that hunting dolphins is better than farming them, not worse.
I agree that hunting is better than farming, generally. (Not in all scenarios. I would not want to be hunted to exhaustion over a long period of suffering.)

We are farming pigs and guaranteeing a supply. We are not farming dolphins. There will eventually be as many as mammoths.
