    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.

      Cameron Parish is near New Orleans in the same way that Delaware is near Virginia.

        Folks not from the south treat it the same way a good hunk of Americans treat Europe, think it’s culturally homogeneous, can’t pronounce the name of most towns/cities properly, and believe that we get along and like one another.

        As though I’d ever say anything positive about South Carolina or Florida

        • Now thats just damned well inaccurate, some of us dont think of the south at all except for when we see yous plates. Seriously the only part of the south I care to think about is Arkansas more specifically around little rock since ive got kin there.

            • Nope Im from SoCal. My dialect and accent are absolutely fucked, got me Southern, northern Appalachia, brogue, and fucken 1800s great laker influences and thats not even accounting for the random hick/redneck influence from the last hundred years.

              Seriously the last of my actual blood relatives who lived in Arkansas was just after the civil war, problem is it got past from grandparent to grandchild. Meaning my southern part is at least 150 years out of date, makes me sound like a particularly rural Okie when it kicks in.

              Luckily I am largely incapable of transliterating said abomination accent unless im fucken real tired, which I was when I made my previous comment. Also if youre curious on if all of them can be active at once, yes. Its a facsimile of a language.

        I thought I was too late to the party as well. It was 5 hours old when I posted, which is usually past most of the engagement.

    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.

      I’ve got news for you: you’re not against the death penalty.

        Eh, I said what I said when my emotions were high on this. Still against the death penalty though.

          If you are for the death penalty when your emotions are high, you are for the death penalty period. People who are against the death penalty don’t go on the record in support of the death penalty, because it’s a principle, not something that you only stand for when it is convenient for you.

          If the death of an animal is enough to make you flip, you’re probably going to side with most death sentences since they relate to the murder of human beings.

          Someone could murder members of my family, and I would still be against the death penalty, because that’s who I am. You’re not going to hear me calling for anyone’s death, regardless of my emotional state, because I know that doesn’t solve anything, and it is bad for our society as a whole.

            Alright man, I guess I’m a shit human being that’s not perfect and my words don’t matter because it seems that you’ve made up your mind about me as a person from one comment on the Internet.

            Want to know one of the reasons why forest fires are so bad in California? It’s because we stopped doing controlled burns and allowed places to become so overgrown and dry that the fires go out of control. (Climate change too, but not the point)

            My point being is that it’s a ridiculous stance to suggest that all life has value to society. This is simply untrue, much in the same way that Elon Musk isn’t billions of times more valuable than his employees.

            I don’t know what to say other than I’m sorry for your family. I will absolutely drop a motherfucker for threatening my family, and there isn’t a single argument you can make about that being bad for society.
