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?

Someone one (who I suspect has a cruel streak and wanted to give posters nightmares) posted a picture of crocodiles walking in the hind legs in a pool

Did you know that crocodiles can climb a fence or a tree?

I want to know why Robins are so evil?

Nah, wasn't Disney, it was that bastard Flipper. Thank you op. After a truly shut day, this was gold.
I was once at a duck pond where the drakes were all trying to mate with one duck. A very irate woman demanded that the parkie "stop it at ONCE" he looked at her gone out.

FekkoTheLawyer · 08/10/2018 17:56

I wasn't sold on skippy the bush kangaroo either. He had an evil glint in his eye. I suspect that he was the one pushing little Johnny down the well every week!

Is it just me who is now thinking that dolphin watching experiences are actually Interpol organised "neighbourhood watches"?

ktp100 · 08/10/2018 17:59

I love this!!! I used to be a science teacher and totally relished schooling little girls with sea otter obsessions about their penchant for drowning seal pups and shagging their corpses for months. Grin

Also, is the bamboo making Pandas high? I've heard drugs can effect sex drive...

Flowerfae · 08/10/2018 18:15

Are you Daphne from Scooby Doo? doesn't she have a thing about Dolphin's where they all want to kill her?

Pixiegirl76 · 08/10/2018 18:23

ERM,ok,my dear,if that is the only thing you have to stress about,your doing ok.What about Tigers? They are mean ! and Hippo's.Have a glass of wine (:

LostSoul69 · 08/10/2018 18:25

Brilliant!! But you are totally CORRECT! Yes they do look lovely and we love it when they ‘perform’ for us when out on our boat, but living by the coast we do see the other side to dolphins and they really are unscrupulous killers!! They are in the same league as foxes..another cute and cuddly persona who is actually a killer for fun! Foxes and dolphins both kill for what we as humans would perceive as ‘no reason’, they don’t eat their prey but just kill and discard. Only last week we had three baby seals washed up on the beach, clearly attacked by dolphins. Sorry everyone who thinks that wildlife is cute and cuddly, they are not! (Badgers fall in to the same category too!)

Strongmummy · 08/10/2018 18:34

I agree OP. I’ve never trusted them !!!!!

I really, really don’t like dolphins either. They smile too much, can’t trust ‘em.

What else can crocodiles do that they thought we weren’t aware of Confused

At least they don’t bother to pretend to be nice but they obviously hiding they human like abilities

Crocodiles hide in your handbags and in the souls of your boots.

FekkoTheLawyer · 08/10/2018 19:29

Crocodiles are dinosaurs. Very cool.

Best thread ever.
Classics pleeeeease!

Crocodiles are not dinosaurs. Birds are dinosaurs.

FekkoTheLawyer · 08/10/2018 19:35

Nooooo poo. They look so dinosaury! Chickens so not.

FekkoTheLawyer · 08/10/2018 19:38

The biggest freshwater croc ever, Sarcosuchus imperator, lived 110 million years ago, grew as long as 40 feet (12 meters), and weighed up to eight metric tons (17,500 pounds) so pretty old though.

I also read that crocodiles are related to birds but that just made my head hurt. It was on Reddit though so most likely a load of toss.

Banterlope · 08/10/2018 20:12

The sex lives of pandas is interesting. I've heard that they just look at each other and then say, "Aw you're so cute" and then they just cuddle. Stupid endangered bears.

I've read about an octopus with a detachable penis that swims off looking for a shag. Well sneaky – google Argonaut's Detachable Penis. You don't want that in your bath.

I feel bad for the dolphin PR in this thread. Sensing a money-making opportunity I've tried to purchase dolphin-net.com, but I think it's sending out all the wrong messages.

theredjellybean · 08/10/2018 20:15

Haven't rtwt but agree with OP.
They are not cute
They gang rape young females
They kill their young
They are not cute or fluffy.

donquixotedelamancha · 08/10/2018 20:15

Dinosaurs (or at least many of them) had feathers. Velociraptors were similar in size to chickens and looked like this:

I dunno, it's been a while- beggars can't be choosers.

FekkoTheLawyer · 08/10/2018 20:18

No this is a dinosaur.
