Dolphin found dead on beach riddled with bullets, NOAA offers $20k reward to find killer

The fuck is wrong with people

I want to know what the dolphen was wearing, maybe a dark hoodie. Will they release the arrest record of the dulphin? What was the dolphin holding? Why is so much media attention going to this one dolphon? All sea creatures matter. I read the fisherman thought it was his taser and feared for his life, let's see how you react in a dark alley with a young dofin.

The only way this story could be more American was if it had been a child dolphin, in a public school.

Holy shit that's evil.

Article says near New Orleans, Louisiana if you’re wondering

Quick, let's pass a law to let the sea turtles conceal carry!

This is American af 🇺🇸

The obvious solution is to arm other dolphins with AR-15s.

Maybe it was another dolphin. They don't report dolphin-on-dolphin violence.

Just as the Founders intended.

Off-topic, but it's annoying how Lemmy will grab an image for a post, you go to the article, and can't find it anywhere... wtf?

Bullets slow down exponentially in water. They caught a dolphin and then shot it to death on land.

Damn who is beefing with sea life?

I'm against the death penalty. But maybe whoever did this to the dolphin should also get to experience what it went through.

Fuck James.

OK real shit if you shot and killed a dolphin, why in the fuck would you not harvest the meat? Like when else are you ever gonna get to try dolphin? Obviously I wouldn't personally shoot a dolphin but if I did you can bet your ass I'm gonna try its meat instead of letting it rot

Couldn't it have washed ashore and then someone used it as target practice? Artical says gunshots happened near the time of death.

But seriously, humanity is the herpes of planet, Earth. 😤

Who's to say it wasn't another dolphin? Those things are smart and also violent. They probably can figure out how to shoot a gun.

The beluga mafia strikes again. Flipper sleeps with the humans.

We should check with the dolphins known associates. Maybe this was a gang killing.

According to IDF it's a Palestinian... Oops, Hamas dolphin!

He brought it to himself

/Ironic

Sounds to me like dolphins need to step up their game.

America, FUCK YEAH!

Yeah Flipper isnt just a name

Dolphin: I have information that could lead to the arrest of Hillary Cli-

Wow. Literally every upvoted comment is a stupid reddit-tier joke.

That's sad.

The gave those coonasses guns. First mistake.

Sucks for the dolphin but I'm not sure why everyone cares so much. There are real murders happening.

I would rather see an effort to do something about the nets
