@emerset Whenever I talk about how sadistic dolphins are, people always think I'm being a troll. I am not a troll!
Come on, dolphins sadistically kill other species. They don't compete with porpoises for food, neither do they eat them. It seems like they're just killing for laughs. Not just porpoises too. Seals and seagulls all are victims of dolphins sadistic murders.
"The reasons for the killings may never be known."
Isn't it obvious? Dolphins are not cute, friendly seaworld attractions, they are deranged rapists who kill smaller species for no reason! And they also rape people! I read about it! Their penis is like this big long tentacle that can wrap around peoples ankles. I phuking hate dolphins, they should all burn in hell. Thumbs up if you hate dolphins too.
@nuclearzeon Wait, you hate dolphins because they have a tendency to kill for fun? That means you either also hate the human race or are inconsistent. I'm guessing lame troll.
@GordonFreeMANness yeah I really don't, they're too smart for their own good, their looks creep me out... yeah there are people like me in the world, I really don't like any water creature, I don't hate them though.
@nuclearzeon After us? Nah, both porpoises and bottlenose dolphins have bigger, much more convoluted brains. +Those 2 species aren't the smartest Cetaceans. Pilot whales, killer whales, sperm whales (not only cachalots), belugas, narwhals, fin whales, humpback whales, Risso's dolphins etc. have significantly larger and more complex brains (they got spindle cells+thicker cortex). +There are elephants (5 kg avg., 9 kg - max.) and manatees (they're the 1st ones when it comes to cortical thickness).
Would it theoretically be possible that the independent uses of hemispheres in the brain of the dolphins may be the cause of aggression? An explanation could be that each hemisphere contains a difference in personality, in which one side of the hemisphere may produces more emotional responses and compensate for such with aggression. Furthermore, it has also been suggested that dolphins may have the intelligence to learn from other species, such as humans who may "kill for leisure".
We humans tend to group wild animals into two categories. 1. the brainless, bloodthirsty killing machines, or 2. the cute and cuddly plush toys. No animal on earth matches either of these two descriptions. Many cute and cuddly animals can be very dangerous, even to people. And no predatory animal, that can even be dangerous to people, is a killing machine.
@A64thProduction The Japanese shouldnt even be Trying to eat them unless they want to poison themselves, their meat is full of mucury. Its not just the Japanese either, many other places kill Dolphins and whales for sport.
@AngelofDoomKira Mercury is definitely a problem but it is not only found in dolphin blubber. Mercury is a problem for most pelagic fishes. Also, I believe this new hype around the Cove is just that, hype. Its been known for years. Just like our sport and commercial fishing is highly regulated, so, to is theirs. They are allowed only 5,000 per year, all to be harvested (killed) during one month. Every part of the dolphin is used. Dolphin are not cute, not smiling, they are predators.
dolphins are really smart, arguably smarter than humans, and humans bully eachother all the time, usually not to the point where they kill eachother, but still bullying. maybe dolphins are so intelligent they have personalities, most have a docile and friendly personality, just like humans, but maybe some are ass holes like bullies. usually bullies only pick on smaller people, maybe its the same with dolphins? but if thats true, then dolphins are way more aggressive, since they kill.
You certainly are correct in stating the high level of intellect when it comes to these mammals.
However, this higher level of intellect may have lead these animals to understand that these smaller and more agile rivals could out-compete them for resources. Based on the dolphins perspective these "infidels" needed to be ended based on competition. I mean our life is based on competition, why wouldn't thiers?
Wow that is not "green" behavior. Perhaps the dolphins learned this from their contact with evil white men. I am sure that is the case. This is a band of gang dolphins. They are like the Crips or Bloods and they are killing the poor porpoise because he was flagging the wrong color. Yeah that's it.
Or maybe dolphins are just wild animales and they are exhibiting wild animale behavior? Naaaa they learned it by watching you white people! These are Grove Street Dolphins! Word ta ya muther
Yes paperfrog, they do this to their own kind, too. It's called infanticide and it is very common in mammals. I don't understand why it is so shocking when it is dolphins though...Bottlenose dolphins are wild predators not Walt Disney angels like many would have you believe. They have been documented kidnapping females and subjecting them to apparent forced copulation.
Also to add to my last point, dolphins eat dolphins (I am specifically thinking of the larger dolphins like Orca and Pilot whales eating smaller ones) and the sooner that people stop trying to make dolphins out like they are somehow an exception to the 'wild' rule, the better it will be.
I have studied dolphins and seen them do what many people would consider to be 'cruel' things (such as bullying, forcing other dolphins underwater etc), but that is nature.
Indeed. It's just that we attribute qualities to animals and are shocked when they go against them by... being animals. For instance, people being -horrified- at the notion of cats behaving like the barely domesticated carnivores they are and hunting rats. Or, for that matter, amazed that pet rats are neat-footed, clean, clever little animals, and not RedWallian vermin.
@thestarduster Yes, I must agree. I am a deep sea big game fisherman. I used to have second thoughts hunting fish like yellow-tail and other larger pelagic fish. I've seen all kinds of larger fish attacks on the smaller bait fish. They weren't always attacking for food, they would attack just to maim and injure, almost, it seemed, for the fun of it. I do think we as consumers need to exercise responsibility in the amount of fish we consume. Sushi is isn't trendy. Japnese r not all 2 blame.
For people that don't understant... Humans hunt animals for a few reasons.. food, recreation, industry. People thought animals only killed other animals just for EATING to live. Dolphins, and some apes, destroy that concept of thinking.
didnt they do this stuff as practice for killing the baby dolphins that arn't their own. the question is why have we been noticin this now? is it recent that they started this?
Dolphins are smart, so I guess they know how to hide their kills? Or we are so blinded by their friendly look that we don't look at the other aspects of them? You have to admit, dolphins have a very good PR so far.
they kill their own babies to have more sex, when an alfa dolphin is changed, the new lider kills the babies of the last leader. He kills the babies with his own purpose, to stimulates the female cycle of reproduction.
if there just doing it for the hell of it, so what? so many things kills just to kill (look at us) millions die everyday but the world should stop for this one porpoises
whoa Dolphins r the smartest animal in the world said to b smarter dan raptors so if their killin porpoises n da guy said der killin mid sized porpoises its for a reason jus dont kno y yet very unusual behaviour from a dolphin
Maybe its because the dolphins didnt feel safe no more think about it people kill doplphins nad stuff catch them put im in the zoo they safe our lives now they feel in threat and danger they were killing those things probebly because THEY (ppl who were documenting) made them feel insecure and when you put a dolphine in the zoo or somethin of that type when you train them you train them out of hunger your taken their pride away n tht is cruel
Bull. Dolphins have large brains, but a large amount of it is specialized to dealing with echolocation. In general terms, they're about as smart as dogs. They are not able to do abstract thinking of that level. Besides that, they were likely doing stuff like this LONG before the things you mention.
The porpoises generally die on the first or second throw (thankfully... I mean, it's still not exactly nice, but at least they don't suffer for long) because the rapid rotation and they spin detaches their spines. The dolphins continue to grab them as they sink, and throw them up again, before realising they're dead and letting them sink. Of course, there are the occasional ones who are simply paralysed by the first throw and die in the next few, or are discarded and sink, dying of starvation
I never understood why people like to paint dolphins up to be peaceful, almost-saintly animals. Most animals have the capacity to do really violent things. The only animals I can think of at the moment that seem to be entirely peaceful are manatees and bonobos. (Though I think there have been some reports of bonobos in zoos attacking each other, so I may be wrong on this one.)
a test was done with a three toed sloth once to see how often it moved - and scientists placed a bowl full of water on the sloth while it was asleep and came back 24 hours later and the water was still there - the sloth hadnt moved AT ALL in 24 hours
not an awesome animal - but still, at least it doesnt go round killing porpoises
lol, true fluffy. But I don't think they want information such as "the Bottlenose is thought to kill porpoises for fun" making it's way into children's books or mainstream news. It ruins the whole "walt Disney" thing people want to think about dolphins.
Dolphins do this to their own kind, too. The same population of Bottlenose dolphins kill their own calves and the injuries are horrific (internal bleeding, blubber ripped off the bone, broken bones, punctured lungs etc). They do not die gently or kindly. Dolphins ARE aggressive. Dolphins eat dolphins (Orca etc), male Bottlenose will kidnap females&perform forced copulation. They are not walt disney beings...they are wild animals.
Dolphins can be really creepy ... Saw a TV programme once where a group of male dolphins kidnapped a female dolphin from another group and used her for sex.
It's not "infanticide" because they're separate sub-species. It's like when a lion kills a leopard but doesn't eat it, for there to be fewer predators around competing for the same food sources.
@Thoukudides you don't seem to be understanding the seriousness of the situation. It's typical of greenpeace mo. They, the media, have done such a food job in painting dolphin into cute wave surfing, kiss them at sea world, Dancing russian bears. Read the reports. It is being called an infanticide by he scientists. Reason, they speculate, practice to kill heir own. Glad u r at least making a comparison to lions. These are predators, petting, feeding, I've even heard sexing, may be their end
dolhins onley kills ther young if they are boorn sick because if the yaounger dont die then the yunger and his mother falls behind and then the bothe dies 4 nothing but if they kill the young 1 the mother will survive :/
i bet they were thinking those small creatures need to be exterminated for future progress. Do you think the early man killed off its less evolved brother? Cromagnons killing pygmies? I probably sound stupid....but just a question I had.
guys, it isn't a "little dolphin" being killed... it is a porpoise. Therefore it obviously isn't a mother attacking its calf. They believe they do this not for fun necessarily, but as target practice. Male dolphins commonly kill the calves of females during breeding season because the females won't breed if they have a calf. The males "practice" on the porpoises because they're about the same size as the dolphin calves that they kill.
yeah this was on animal planet. they found 23 dead porposes on the beaches of Scotland and Virgina within 2 months. They think the porposes were used as target practice and dolphins can actually sense internal organs as well as using their sonar to detect "outside" objects
Who knows :/ You know, I've seen footage of sharks attacking prey that's basically identical with this, except the sharks are doing it 'cos they need to eat. The dolphins just... seem like they're doing it for fun.
I read that it's likely not a territory thing either, since if an animal is chasing you away from its home, usually it'll let you go once you're out of the boundaries.

i bet they were thinking those small creatures need to be exterminated for future progress. Do you think the early man killed off its less evolved brother? Cromagnons killing pygmies? I probably sound stupid....but just a question I had.

guys, it isn't a "little dolphin" being killed... it is a porpoise. Therefore it obviously isn't a mother attacking its calf. They believe they do this not for fun necessarily, but as target practice. Male dolphins commonly kill the calves of females during breeding season because the females won't breed if they have a calf. The males "practice" on the porpoises because they're about the same size as the dolphin calves that they kill.

yeah this was on animal planet. they found 23 dead porposes on the beaches of Scotland and Virgina within 2 months. They think the porposes were used as target practice and dolphins can actually sense internal organs as well as using their sonar to detect "outside" objects

Dolphins are punks that act cool in front of people but kick other animal ass when we aren't watching.

amazing...poor little dolphin..where is his mother?

Who knows :/ You know, I've seen footage of sharks attacking prey that's basically identical with this, except the sharks are doing it 'cos they need to eat. The dolphins just... seem like they're doing it for fun.
I read that it's likely not a territory thing either, since if an animal is chasing you away from its home, usually it'll let you go once you're out of the boundaries.
