A young dolphin died in Argentina after it was taken from the sea and passed around to people taking selfies with it.

Huge crowds gathered around the small mammal on the beach resort at Santa Teresita in Argentina after one man scooped it from the water, Sky News reported.

The dolphin was still being passed around after it died and was later left abandoned, according to news reports.

That is awful!!! People are so excited to take a picture with the Dolphin, as if they admire and appreciate it's nature, but not enough to let it live????! D:<
 
That is completely shameful behaviour! A whole crowd of people and not one brain cell to go between them. Poor creature.

Yeah, poor baby dolphin. :( I hope some of them at least will read up on what to do if they find themselves in a similar situation...

In case anyone here finds a dolphin near/on the beach:

2. Calmly approach to make sure the blowhole (through which the whale or dolphin breaths) is not blocked or underwater. If you can find adequate assistance and you are confident in what you are doing it may be helpful to gently roll the individual onto their front (belly), so that the blowhole is facing upwards (whales and dolphins often strand on their sides) and it is helpful to keep their skins wet with water. However, do not at any point pull on its fins or tail and be very careful not to get water down the blowhole.

Yes, I think it is a good idea.

Where were the activists to protect animals? And nobody in the crowd to stop this non-sense? And surely many o these people love animals but their fanaticism with their ego to "show a little dolphin" to friends to Facebook is more strong then their love for animals. A collective histeria also where people loose their minds. This also teach us how dangerous is the human for animals. No education at all concerning the wild animals and this has to be teach in schools I believe.

Thanks you Oxajil for the information.
 
It is what it is, a regrettable event. But for me, it's to easy to condemn the people. What would we have done in a similar situation ? We don't know until being confronted in such case.

If I understand, they have made a mistake and a hole group of comets must crush them for that ? It's inappropriate.

I would realy like your advises about that because i often felt a little irritated when i read this king of "easy reactions".

Anyway, thank you Oxajil for the link.

If they are able to learn. No comets necessary. If not, the comets will speak for themselves. Time will tell. Its not about wishing others dead. Its about wishing for balance.

Its not easy for me to say such a thing. But I am totally out of hope with the current human condition. I am done with false hope.

It's kind of like "emergency room humor", Eol. No one said that they wanted comets to come and crush those specific people (although I would understand the sentiment!), just that this world can be hard to look at and sometimes one just wants the comets to come and wipe the slate clean. I think that's a normal, and sometimes necessary, reaction to seeing news such as this.
 
If there is one thing that I fear more than the comets it’s the situation that invites them in the first place, which is the global nazificiation of humanity. We haven’t seen nothing yet. I am no fan of the comets, but without it the alternative is a never-ending hell on earth.
