It makes ashamed to be human. What bothers me though, is that even though the dolphin died, those idiots still kept passing it around and taking pictures of it....technology and society today has taken away our ability to connect and respect the natural world we come from.
Very upsetting story. The people who did this will no doubt go back to posting photos of their food and themselves on FB, and instagram every five minutes like nothing happened. This is what happens when people think the whole world revolves around them. Selfish and cruel. All for a photo. This is why intelligent life, If out there and aware of our existence will not come calling.
This makes me absolutely ill. Will the stupidity/cruelty of people towards animals never end? And what bugs me more is there wasn't one person out of all those people who said something, who cared? If I was there, you can bet I would have tried to stop this.
I agree. Every time I think we can't get any lower ~ we do.
It's the obsession with camera-phones. Everything's about snapping a pic or taking a vid, these days, instead of rescuing humans in distress or respecting nature.
So true and it's disgusting how narcissist society has become,
A rare baby dolphin has died on the beach after selfish tourists pulled it from the ocean so they could take selfies with it.
Shocking footage from Santa Teresita beach in Buenos Aires, Argentina, shows the body of the marine mammal lying motionless on the floor as dozens of people surround it.
The Franciscana dolphin had been passed around between sun worshippers while they took out their phones and posed for pictures.

How cruel can people get in this world? I hope the people that did this go to prison.
If they pulled it from the surf, then it's VERY possible that it was already dead or near death. Assuming that it was easily "Plucked" from the water ignores conventional wisdom.

Apparently it was alive and it was in shallow water. Then the monkeys grabbed it to take pics
There is a pod of Dolphins in Sarasota Bay. One of the Dolphins was known as 'Beggar' because he knew if he went to a boat, he would be fed. It is now illegal to play with, harass, or feed Dolphins. Get caught and you can be arrested and fined.
