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?

I always think we don't give ourselves enough credit as humans. We do some shitty things but animals are really just selfish bastards who kill and rape all the time but they can't go to prison for it. In comparison we are fairly well behaved. Have you ever seen the video of the monkey raping a frog? Seriously fucked up.

Only the prospect of what my internet search history would suggest to a police officer in a dawn raid is stopping from me from googling...

NoLogicInThis · 07/10/2018 23:54

Wow!
After a bad day reading this thread has made me laugh that someone is actually enraged about dolphins .
I do hope this is real that someone is nuts enough to have a vendetta against dolphins trying to take over the world

ButchyRestingFace WYSIWYG except the chimp has a slightly bored expression which is really disconcerting. (You should learn how to open a new incognito window in your browser btw)
There's also 'chimp throws a raccoon'. Chimps are bastards.

I’ve seen videos of pigeons being eaten alive by pelicans and dogs by pythons, and they invariably exude an air of bored bemusement and meh, no fucks given.

I should. Grin

What would happen if a sloth was getting hunted by another animal?

They do have very long sharp claws. And they aren't extinct. Do the maths.

Or, with all that hair and algae growing on it, only desperately hungry predators will even try it.
You just need to watch Ice Age to learn this stuff.

Iused2BanOptimist · 08/10/2018 00:25

Personally I've always hated kangaroos.
They pretend they're just boxing with their arms then when you get close they jump up and kick the shit out of you with their legs. Just when you stagger to your feet they whip around and whack you with their tail.
And they can't even skip.
Cheating bastards.

Also I had really bad d&v after eating ragout of roo. EnvySad

It was all about milking male bulls for sperm and interviewing the person who did it.

I once went on a trip to an AI farm, with Young Farmers. It was definitely educational. Though actually, the best bit was pouring liquid nitrogen on the floor.

I work in IT, and I once made the error of observing that AI didn't mean artificial intelligence to me, as I'd grown up on a farm.

Has blow hole sex been covered?

On the positive side, they use their sonar as a vibrator. I will never get David Attenborough saying this line out of my head: “the female dolphin buzzes the other female’s genital area”.

Dare I suggest it’s male dolphin violence that’s the issue?

PinkLady01 · 08/10/2018 04:35

Dolphins always have boners and try to masturbate on you, true fact

MrsRespoDad · 08/10/2018 06:30

I once saw footage of frogs having their wicked way and, dears , I was quite overcome.

BestZebbie · 08/10/2018 06:53

I am amazed that nobody has yet mentioned hyenas and their fake penises - female hyenas have grown their genitals into a long thin external tube which makes it extremely hard for them to be made pregnant by rape (sex is so awkward that it requires their cooperation), which has freed them from being controlled by the males and created a female-led society. Although it also makes childbirth difficult with a fairly high mortality rate.

@Captain!arvelDanvers

I agree with the Panda hate. I’ve heard that the male penises are often too small to be of any use. Can anyone confirm?

What, personally? 😮

Twillow · 08/10/2018 08:03

To be honest it would be more appropriate to be incensed with humanity. They do all of the evil dolphins do with bells on, plus at least dolphins haven't invented plastic and nuclear weapons and fucked their own environment up...

waxy1 · 08/10/2018 08:22

Dolphin on dolphin non-crime should be reported to South Yorkshire Police.

DeadButDelicious · 08/10/2018 08:25

Well I don't know about anyone else but I am viewing Octonaughts in a very different light this morning.

MiniLeopardInTheHouse · 08/10/2018 08:26

Actually, I think the Dolphin Overlord has got his flipper hovering over the red button directed at us, and who can blame them?

Andtheresaw · 08/10/2018 08:52

Animals behaving like animals. Evil Bastards
I think we should fuck up the oceans so they all die eventually ……..oh, wait...

Deafening silence on Jemima’s Law at the Tory Conference!

Meanwhile drake on duck rape is literally spiralling upwards.

Ducks also participate in gang rape. Groups of pent-up males (drakes) find another drake and take turns. I've seen it happen.

What does NADALT mean??

QuestionableMouse · 08/10/2018 10:01

Not all ducks (dolphins) are like that.
