AIBU to be livid how dolphins are portrayed compared to how they are?

I am angry and sick and tired of how dolphins try and make out they are nice and friendly and cute when they are anything but. They are one of the most aggressive species in the animal kingdom, regularly involved in GANG RAPES of other dolphins that sometimes goes on for days, they also kill their OWN children so that the mother pays more attention to her husband dolphin so he can have sex with her without her being distracted by her child and they also are aggressive to humans when nobody is looking (I.e in the sea when nobody is around, not when they have an audience like at a sea world centre) But everyone says “aww dolphins are so cute and so friendly” but their not.

I think it’s because they look like they are always smiling and laughing that people think they are cute, but to me they look like they have evil eyes and cackling rather than laughing. People say alligators and crocodiles and snakes are evil what about dolphins? People only see the tame ones that like to show off to humans and do tricks and let us swim with them and stroke them and think all dolphins are like that but the ones in the wild are a different matter altogether.

Plus, people say that dolphins are clever because they use clicks to communicate with each other. Has nobody stopped to think that they may be clicking and conspiring amongst themselves?

I’m actually fuming, only because I just got back from someone showing holiday pics and they were going on and on about the dolphins and how they were so cute and I told them dolphins aren’t cute and they are dangerous and would they swim with and pet crocodiles? They Didn’t get why it was the same but any animal can turn against you and I have even saw footage of a dolphin purposely try to drown a human and drag them underwater. AND they also kill other sea baby animals and play volleyball with them, they don’t even eat them or are threatened by them, they just do it for a laugh. Why are they seen as friendly animals?

Yea all those fatal dolphin attacks must just be covered up by the government because they made them aggressive in the first place during trials in the cold war.

Did a dolphin rob your sweets as a child?

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 06/10/2018 23:53

I’m strangely completely with you op! Dolphins get a very good press despite being evil, mocking smiley bastards.
I actually swam with dolphins once, the fuckers nearly ripped my arm off.....nuff said

Grin I've had an awful day, and you've really cheered me up. At least I'm not a dolphin, eh? The evil bastards.
womenshealthrant · 06/10/2018 23:54

Wow, you seem to know a lot about the matter.
Maybe you could do some alternative dolphin talks at your local marine centre for some of the primary kids on their trips Grin

Next up from Otherwize: Don't believe the hype, great white sharks are actually soft teddy bears and when they bite you it feels like kisses from an angel.
