''The selfie craze has entered a new low. An young, endangered dolphin died after beachgoers apparently pulled it from the sea to take photos with it.

Last week, a tourist staying at the Santa Teresita beach resort in Argentina reportedly picked up two Franciscana dolphins from the water. A huge crowd of people gathered around the dolphins and began taking photos with the animals. Unfortunately, one of the dolphins quickly overheated and passed away while it was out of the water.

After the dolphin died, it was still being passed around by beachgoers and it was later left abandoned in the sand. Hernan Coria shared a few images on Facebook showing the two mammals being held while tourists are seen smiling and completely unaware of what is happening to the animal.''

People can be so stupid and thoughtless. And selfish. There's no excuse for this kind of thing happening.

Didn't this happen once already before? I could swear that I saw a similar story in the not too distant past. Do people NEVER learn?

I could be wrong, but beach-goers does not necessarily equate to tourists.

Makes me sick. You'd think people would be just a little bit more caring and have a heart. I'm sorry I even saw this.

Sometimes I truly hate the fact that I'm a human being. This breaks my heart.
