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?

Person querying how dolphins view our skeletons, do they see in ultrasound?

I'm with op, they are evil. They are intelligent enough to know what they're doing. They also can gang up on a male in their group and rape and murder them when no females are around.

So are Robins.

Hoopaloop · 07/10/2018 19:13

Dolphins are fucking pricks.

waxy1 · 07/10/2018 19:08

Yeah, but nobody throws bread to the Yorkshire Ripper, do they?

when on holiday in the caribian, the diving instructor was terrified of dolphins.
dolphin in sight - get out of the water as fast as you can

I bet it was just the one dolphin he was afraid of. Maybe he owned him money.
Loan sharks are bad, but loan dolphins are just nasty.

First Kevin Spacey and now this

Omg I'm crying 😂

Lweji · 07/10/2018 19:05

I had a nightmare once of being raped by a dolphin

Isn't that how mermaids are made?
Or is it by tuna?

anitagreen · 07/10/2018 19:00

This is hilarious can it be put into classics please ?x

DoYouLikeBasghetti · 07/10/2018 18:58

My little sister just sent me this link asking if I wrote it lol. I hate dolphins sooooo much. Murderous gang-rapey bastards. I'm with the OP. Grin

DrMadelineMaxwell · 07/10/2018 18:43

Dusty the dolphin breaks this woman's bones with agressive behaviour.

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 07/10/2018 18:43

I agree. I’ve always thought dolphins were cunts.

Thesmallthings · 07/10/2018 18:41

Well that's swimming with dolphins of my bucket list.

I had a nightmare once of being raped by a dolphin, it wasn't pleasant and this news has scared me even more.

user1533903238 · 07/10/2018 18:39

I agree with you OP! I’ve been saying for years (since watching Blue Planet) what bastards they are. Sociopaths of the sea.

Jessiemay88 · 07/10/2018 18:37

Theyre actually very similar to us...in their evils and their good playful side. The dolphins iv met in the wild havent hurt me. Surfed amongst a pod of at least 20 and they were enjoying the waves just like me

Fakeflowersandlemonade · 07/10/2018 18:31

Isn't all duck and dolphin sex rape? I'm yet to hear any of them consent 🤔

Chillyegg · 07/10/2018 18:31

I laughed at this. But I do actually agree with you!
Reminds me of that episode of the simpsons when the dolphins take over the world

big shark circling us - stay calm

BeenAsFarAsMercyAndGrand · 07/10/2018 18:19

^ I'm with you

WomanWithAltitude · 07/10/2018 18:18

In with you OP... sneaky slimy bastards, looking like butter wouldn't melt but actually nasty violent fuckers. Grin

This thread has opened my eyes about ducks though. I had no idea they were evil! Shock

Orlandointhewilderness · 07/10/2018 18:16

with you 100% OP. Never trusted the buggers.

MissyMoooo · 07/10/2018 18:12

That's probably got something to do with the fact that they're in captivity. They have been stolen away from their family and made to perform for humans. No wonder they're pissed off!! If you swim with dolphins in the wild you'll find they are actually beautiful intelligent creatures!

ThursdaysChildHasFarToGo · 07/10/2018 18:09

I could never trust one after knowing what one did to Homer Simpson...

Lweji · 07/10/2018 18:09

Speaking of evil dolphins:

Lweji · 07/10/2018 18:06

I'm guessing they don't "play" with their prey, pre or after killing. I bet they are just massaging the muscles and breaking the bones to make it easier to eat.

Thatstheendofmytether · 07/10/2018 18:01

Well dolphins are in the same family as orcas. They hunt in packs, they play with their prey, they kill just because they can. So YANBU. Perhaps slightly worked up about it but not unreasonable.
