Dolphins are killing them on porpoise?

[dfwgator]

Nice to see the dolphins have found a porpoise in their lives.

[Yossarian]

These killer dolphins could only have existed as a result of the U.S. Navy’s evil “Marine Mammal Program”.

So Long and Thanks For All The Porpoises.

The dolphins then bring the carcass up to the Okeanis researchers, watch them bring it on board and then swim away.

Seems like they think the porpoises are spies for men.

[Vendome]

I don’t think they are doing it on porpoise.

"...dolphins attacking and killing a porpoise"

Uh-oh...the democrats will be forming a committee and a sub-committee, and appointing two new "dolphin" Czars in the obama cabinet to investigate and pass a "Porpoise Stimulus Bill" to redistribute the bait fish from the racist dolphins to the oppressed porpoises.

A porpoise task force will have to be formed and funded by taxing the rich (dolphins).

Obama will make a trip to Sea World to lay out his proposals for dealing with these racist dolphins and proposing government healthcare benefits are all porpoises injured in these attacks.

Rahm Emmanuel said, "It's a disaster we can't afford to waste.". Film at eleven...

Maybe the dolphins, observing the researchers observing the porpoises, thought that the researchers wanted the porpoises, so they gave them to the researches.

[DallasDeb]

Or, maybe there are now dolphin gangs.

[NativeSon]

Scientists suspected dolphins, ...

I've known it all along, what with all the bottle-nose bruises or blow hole burns on the victims

[TASMANIANRED]

Dolphin yutes.

[Marty62]

Oh now we know the Porpoise were calling the Dolphins bad names.

[Winged Hussar]

Dolphins and porpoises eat the same food (fish). It’s possible that the dolphins are eliminating their competitors, the same way humans eliminate wolves and other carnivores that eat what we want to eat.

"Now we know the how, but we still are unsure of the why,"

Drugs, welfare, fatherlessness, moral decay, secularism, liberal dolphin mass media and lack of federal spending on dolphin inner cities.

... dolphins, which have a relatively docile reputation ...

Tell that to the sharks.

The video shows a group of male dolphins using several techniques to assault a porpoise as it tries to get away. The dolphins corral the porpoise, ram it with their beaks, scrape or rake it with their teeth and drown the porpoise by jumping on top of it. The dolphins then bring the carcass up to the Okeanis researchers, watch them bring it on board and then swim away.

This research has been continuous for nearly twenty years with the same boat going out to see the same schools of dolphins. My guess is that these people have relationships with the dolphins; i.e., they probably know each other and are on friendly terms, recognizing individuals, possibly tossing an occasional fish, etc from their rather impressive (to a dolphin) watercraft.

Wouldn't it be ironic if this were some sort of induced reciprocal offering on the dolphins' part, that they were bringing food to the researchers? If the behavior is unprecedented and unique, and so is the research...
