Fuck you, human race.
I’ve been sick about this all day.
The earth is dying from soulless human infestation…
Humans are one of the few species that kill for other reasons than food. And we are preternaturally selfish. This is not a good combination.
Some shepherds we are, eh?
Truth.
I don’t know what laws are like there but I would hope there are some cruelty to animals laws that can be applied. I get the desire to see the dolphin, but their actions were nothing but selfish cruelty.
By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans.
We dump five trash bags of plastic in the ocean for every foot of coastline.
Every. Single. Year.
“Today’s special is fresh opah, stuffed with polybutene, in a delicate dimethyl-phthalate sauce.”
Mmmm, mmmmm!
Before we humans are snuffed out of existence, we will exterminate every single species on earth.
That’s actually not true. I think you’ll find that desire to mate, protect babies, protect turf, and just general nastiness can lead animals to kill one another. As it turns out, humans really aren’t much different from the other animals. I mean, I’ve personally seen my nice cats destroy small creatures they didn’t eat, which they wouldn’t need to do since they’re well fed. They just did it for the sport.
Nor are we preternaturally selfish. Some people are. Most obviously aren’t, since that would be bad for the species if we only thought of ourselves. Humans are naturally herd animals and work better in groups. In fact, I suspect that a good majority of those people wouldn’t have done what they did if they were by themselves and not in a big group doing the same thing.
And people who only think of themselves first have a mental disorder. That’s not our natural state or we wouldn’t be here to have this conversation. Guys like Trump are the exception, not the rule. Selfishness only works if a few people do it, and can’t be sustained among an entire species.
This is one of the saddest things I have heard of in a while. Man has and continues to wreck this planet. Man should have been thrown off the ark!
Nah, there will still be cockroaches and rats to chew on our rotting corpses.
Yeah. That about sums up my feelings.
Well done humans. Well done.
The incredible stupidity of this just appalls me. What would happen if the dolphins passed around a person underwater?
That is actually not true. I know a guy who does wildlife control, and he does it fully according to the law (there are many). He has many stories about minks and weasels. These animals can be incredibly destructive. If they get into a chicken coop, they can go into a frenzy of destruction, and nothing will be left alive. It’s basically a bloodlust.
Ironically, dolphins (bottlenose) happen to be one of the few others others that kill for fun.
