The dolphins are now going crazy?

Just when I thought the Left couldn’t get more crazy, RBG dies...then dolphins FLIP out.

(ok, you can ban me for that one)

There have been enough recorded incidents of dolphins attacking people to serve as a warning that these animals should never be assumed to be friendly.

No, the guy wasn’t a Miami Dolphin fan. They play rough down there.

Maybe the dolphin thought the swimmer supported a team other than Miami, and wasn’t happy about that? :P

I saw a recent report about killer whales attacking boats as well. My guess is the members of the dolphin family are finally fed up with environmentalists and have decided to take it out on all of us.

Wrong coast. This is Buc’s territory.

They don't f***ing WANT to communicate with us and are tired of being tortured in experiments.

So they left a message:

We were out fishing in the gulf many years ago and noticed a bunch of dolphins swimming beside the boat. We stopped and watched them for awhile and I decided to fall overboard and start thrashing around and see what they would do. Apparently they had seen that trick before and just watched me.

I’m convinced that the dolphins and the Labrador and Golden retrievers have teamed up to slaughter us all and take over the world under the slogan “No more Mr. Nice Guys.” Naturally they’ll start in Florida.

Fortunately, you can always count on buffalo to be friendly.

Just remember: dolphins = orcas - sweet paint job.

I was at a small aquarium show on cape cod 40 years ago. Waiting for the dolphin show a handler tossed me a ball and said ‘play catch with the dolphins’. I did. It was nice. I went to pet one of the dolphins. He grabbed my hand quite firmly and then let go. No skin broken. I got the message.
