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?

What about Lions? Males will kill other males cups. The theory is that the mother is soo upset that all she wants is sex with a naughty boy!

They can’t be all evil.

Humans welcome Flipper, your new Overlord...

Also, my cat is a bastard.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 07/10/2018 09:34

I actually have a fear of dolphins but this post deffo wasn't me. I think they're secretly more sinister than the media portrays them to be, you have to keep it to yourself though OP because otherwise people think you're crazy and/or drunk. Shh!

coolmule · 07/10/2018 09:33

What about all those dolphins i’ve read about who’ve saved humans from drowning? There are nice dolphins Op.

MummySharkDoodoododoo · 07/10/2018 09:32

Humans are far worse imo.

I've touched and swam with a wild dolphin, in the sea, in England. Seemed very friendly to me.

I'm sure they do bad things but don't every species???

Howlongtillbedtime · 07/10/2018 09:25

I am so pleased I am not alone in my annoyance of the panda.

Racecardriver · 07/10/2018 09:25

While I agree that dolphins are quite aggressive animals they are just animals. Saying that they are evil or capable of rape is a bit absurd. They are animals, by definition they are amoral.

Amazing! Yanbu. Total bastards.

Just leaving this here:

I don't know what brand of gin the op was on last night but I wouldn't mind trying some!
Wonder how she feels this am.

Rosehip10 · 07/10/2018 09:19

Pandas have the mouth and digestive system to eat many foods, including meats and other plants yet they have a bamboo fixation. Also the males have zero interest in sex.

grannyscobwebs · 07/10/2018 09:19

This post is amazing!!!

Sounds like is more than about dolphins!

😬

Oysterbabe · 07/10/2018 09:18

Can I add to the panda hate. They want to die out, just let them.

MephistophelesApprentice · 07/10/2018 09:15

Pandas are an omnivore that became vegan. This was all I needed to learn to keep me eating meat.

LuckyDiamond · 07/10/2018 09:08

Has anyone mentioned swans yet? They’re cunts.

Turquoisesea · 07/10/2018 09:06

Oh this thread is so funny. I have just spat my tea out at double duck vaginas, corkscrew duck penis’s, wanking off dolphins and dolphin husbands!

MorrisZapp · 07/10/2018 09:04

Totally agree about pandas. If you won't shag the one last remaining representative of the opposite sex because the ambient temperature of 18 degrees didn't coincide with that period 43 minutes after lunch when you're in heat for a nanosecond then yes, your species is doomed to fail.

LIVE WITH IT.

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 07/10/2018 09:02

Hippopotomi - they don't just stand by, singing about glorious mud.

And peacocks. As far as I know they've never conspired to take over the universe. But those little beady eyes.... I'd ban 'em.

minniebow · 07/10/2018 08:59

ChristConfused Humans aren’t that friendly either. I think you’ll find we’re a lot worse than dolphins OP. Some projection going on?Wink

Robin2323 · 07/10/2018 08:57

Years ago I remember a story about dolphins
On more one occasion witness
Saw dolphins gang up on one dolphins and literally beat it to death.
They take turn in swimming violently into it.
No one could figure why they would do this. Confused

Unfinishedkitchen · 07/10/2018 08:57

Swimmers were banned from swimming in Brittany after a sexually deviant dolphin kept rubbing itself up against them.

Dolphins started the #Metoo movement and most are gender fluid.

Havaina · 07/10/2018 08:50

The wanking off of the dolphin is not that shocking, SeaWorld regularly wanked off their male killer whales for their semen.

Thankfully they stopped last tear, no more killer whales will be bred in captivity at SeaWorld.

Sadly, no similar commitment for dolphins. They continue to live miserable lives.
