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?

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

Oysterbabe · 07/10/2018 09:18

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

grannyscobwebs · 07/10/2018 09:19

This post is amazing!!!

Sounds like is more than about dolphins!

😬

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.

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.

RealGhouls · 07/10/2018 09:20

The unrandy no-fuckers.

Thatssomebadhatharry · 07/10/2018 09:21

Best rant I’ve read in a long time 🤣🤣🤣

KickBishopBrennanUpTheArse · 07/10/2018 09:24

Amazing! Yanbu. Total bastards.

Just leaving this here:

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.

Howlongtillbedtime · 07/10/2018 09:25

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

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???

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.

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!

Threewheeler1 · 07/10/2018 09:34

Humans welcome Flipper, your new Overlord...

Also, my cat is a bastard.

They can’t be all evil.

Ylvamoon · 07/10/2018 09:36

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!

PositiveVibez · 07/10/2018 09:36

A. MAY. ZING.

How I have only just seen this post is beyond me.

Made my morning 😂😂😂

Hoppinggreen · 07/10/2018 09:36

We used to have ducks when I was a kid and a load of males drowned a female while trying to shag her all at once
Worst bit was they were her sons
So yes, ducks are evil feckers too

FairNotFair · 07/10/2018 09:38

YANBU. They are sharks in drag.

greathat · 07/10/2018 09:38

I wonder what the Daily Mail will do with this thread.... do we have immigrant dolphins?

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 07/10/2018 09:40

Rabbits are another animal that pretend to be cute

My rabbit would rape my ankle any chance he got and my hand he didn’t care about my feelings. And he ruined many pairs of socks that were beyond darning while he was having his fun Sad

ShizeItsWeegie · 07/10/2018 09:41

This thread is funny. Starts out everyone asking if the OP is high or on gin or glue and gradually people are seeing what OP sees. Grin

I take issue with the theme song of 'Flipper'. He is not fast as lightning. That was a massive exaggeration. Tch

TinselAngel · 07/10/2018 09:41

I saw a documentary a couple of years ago where a lunatic hippy type woman wanted to give birth in the sea surrounded by dolphins. (I think she lived in Hawaii).

In the end she had to give birth in hospital for medical reasons. I spent the entire programme shouting at the telly "DON'T BE BLOODY STUPID, THEY WILL EAT YOUR CHILD"

glamorousgrandmother · 07/10/2018 09:43

Doves are quite aggressive whereas rats are devoted parents.

It's nature, you need to get over it.

AuntBeastie · 07/10/2018 09:43

People attributing human characteristics to animals is always problematic. Lots of animals look cute but are naturally aggressive, and should be taken seriously. Dolphins are no different.

You are doing the same thing - talking about gang rape and husbands. These are human concepts that have no application to animals.

Dolphins aren’t evil, they aren’t smug, they aren’t conspiring. They are wild animals, focussed on survival, behaving in the way wild animals behave. It’s mad to try and humanise them in any way, whether as good or evil.
