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?

Most of the duck rape I have witnessed on the pond st work looks as though it comes with a high risk of drowning.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who recognises dolphins are vicious bastards.

The Moray firth dolphins are often thought by tourists to be playing with porpoises - they are actually attacking them and trying to kill them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-44171363

Lol

PerfectlyPosed · 07/10/2018 03:17

Brilliant!

MrsStrowman · 07/10/2018 03:19

They're wild animals what is surprising about about any of this? Also how would a dolphin go about achieving consent, should they take other dolphins on dolphin dates and then build up mutual trust and respect before forming an intimate sexual relationship? There are people on MN who don't bother with that...

edwinbear · 07/10/2018 03:33

I want some of what OP’s been on

Thank you for that story. It is so sad. This again puts into context that we humans are the more violent and manipulative species. Some experiments carried out on other mammals to observe behaviour - mostly last century - are appalling.

VanessaShanessaJenkins · 07/10/2018 03:51

I'm with you OP. How the evil creatures have got the human world to think so highly of them I don't know!
Same with owls! Terrifying, yet portrayed in everything as cute Confused

Dobbythesockelf · 07/10/2018 04:10

Dolphins have husband's??
Seriously though you do know they are animals. You can't go judging their behaviour by human values. If you do you must realise that all animals are evil in one way or another none more so than humans who claim to be of higher intelligence.....
Gorillas often kill babies if they become the new silverback. Same with chimps.
Orcas play with their food before killing it.
A lot of animals 'rape' it's a form of sexual selection.
The internet is a strange place at 4am.

thecraftyfox · 07/10/2018 05:28

MrsStrowman well obviously the dolphins must go on dates. How else do they meet their future dolphin-spouse?

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 07/10/2018 05:40

I'm liking the idea of husband dolphins.
Where can I get one?

brizzledrizzle · 07/10/2018 06:01

OP, what do you think about the poor, misunderstood great white?

OrdinaryGirl · 07/10/2018 06:03

NADALT.

HappyGoDucky · 07/10/2018 06:29

OP why were you fuming? Confused

AngeloMysterioso · 07/10/2018 06:32

My patronus is a dolphin...

sawbucks · 07/10/2018 06:33

We should all definitely believe everything the OP says. She googled this dolphin gang rape stuff.

PaintingOwls · 07/10/2018 06:34

Dolphins are fucking evil.

Dhalandchips · 07/10/2018 06:36

I live near a river. Seen duck gang rapes. Fucking nasty. The female often dies.

Poisondartfrog · 07/10/2018 06:50

Hang on have I understood this correctly? The reason dolphins interact so well with us is because our skeletons are similar to theirs? So does this means they have x-ray vision then?

SadieAB9 · 07/10/2018 07:06

This is so so funny 😂

SadieAB9 · 07/10/2018 07:06

I've joked about this in the past but I LOVE how furious you are about it! Haha!

SadieAB9 · 07/10/2018 07:11

Dolphins "try and make out they are nice and friendly and cute" (like they're deliberately acting!!!)

"They also kill their OWN children so that the mother pays more attention to her **husband dolphin " Husband dolphin!!!

"They also are aggressive to humans when nobody is looking" (I love how this makes it look so planned out and calculated!

Ohhh I love this post! 😂😂😂😂

ShizeItsWeegie · 07/10/2018 07:13

Everyone goes on about the royal family being reptilians. Perhaps they are actually dolphins ?

ShizeItsWeegie · 07/10/2018 07:16

Husband dolphin (smacks head) why didn't I think of trading my old man in for a husband dolphin? Think of all the fish I would get. Fish is good for you. Calcium in the bones and all that omega. How does one go about getting a husband dolphin OP?
