Why oh why does this kind of thing happen?

This one??? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...es-after-swimmers-pass-it-around-for-selfies/

OMG, that's so sad and despicable.

I saw that this morning, it made me so angry. That baby had to be squealing and crying out loud the whole time they passed it around. Bastards.

That is highly disturbing to read. . I will NOT see the video. I can't imagine the level of cruelty and suffering this sentient and highly intelligent being went through at the hands of complete idiots. No regard whatsoever to life forms beyond themselves. Completely disturbing and disgusting to say the least .

As difficult as it is to read the text and confront the reality of despicable behavior, the picture is beyond heartbreaking. At the risk of anthropomorphizing, the baby dolphin has an inquisitive look on its face, clearly oblivious to the callous idiots about to snuff out its innocence. :5_sad:

Heartbreaking. Two pictures have shown up on FB and let me tell you they were taken down fast after the people voiced there opinion of what they did .

People have to speak up . Do not sit and think someone else will do it for you. I was told at a young age. If you don't vote you have no right to complain . If you see something bad and do not react you are just as guilty . I have been kicked from a few forums for doing this but my way of looking at it is. Maybe just maybe it will help someone or at least make them think

Pretty sad human beings when a selfie is more important than an animals life. Just where are we going???

I won't even look. I read the title on fb. I'm avoiding it.

People are a$$holes.

Just reading the posts here...I'm not sure I have the strength to read the article or look at the video. Some people just don't get it!! Christine you said it the best.

Because people do not think about the consequences of their actions, and these people were obviously too dense to notice, or even consider what might happen to the baby...

Stupid people are bad enough. But a group of stupid people does this kind of damage without thinking, and then everyone feels bad about it later.

And then we all get mad and rant about it.

Ranting doesn't fix stupid.

It only lets us vent our anger.

Reading the article was bad enough. I sure as hell don't want to watch the video of a baby being tortured to death.
