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.
Dofin is their word, we really shouldn't be using it at all. Dolphin is the acceptable spelling and term.
No no, it's okay, my nephew is half porpoise, I can say that.
I heard the dolphin has no currently active warrants, and may have been armed, although no weapon was located at the scene.

The only way this story could be more American was if it had been a child dolphin, in a public school.
We gotta arm the teacher fish

Holy shit that's evil.
Article says near New Orleans, Louisiana if you’re wondering
Cameron Parish is near New Orleans in the same way that Delaware is near Virginia.

The obvious solution is to arm other dolphins with AR-15s.
I think SONAR-15s are the aquatic version
This is American af 🇺🇸
Yes. It's good to see the NOAA jumping in like this.

Quick, let's pass a law to let the sea turtles conceal carry!
The only thing that can stop a bad fish with a gun is a good fish with a gun.

Maybe it was another dolphin. They don't report dolphin-on-dolphin violence.
Whomever it was, it was done on porpoise.
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.
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.
The authorities likely checked the dolphin's internal temperature to figure out time of death. And if the wounds had been hemorrhaging = the dolphin was alive when it was shot.
This is the same way authorities figure out when a person died and if injuries occured before or after death.
