A love-lorn dolphin has prompted a French coastal town to ban bathing on its beaches, fearing people may be hurt by the antics of the over-excited mammal.
Roger Lars, mayor of Landevennec, on the western tip of Brittany, issued a ban on voluntarily approaching within 50 metres (yards) of the dolphin and outlawed bathing and diving from the district's beaches whenever the animal is spotted in local waters.
The move was made on the basis of advice from marine specialists after the visibly excited three-metre (10-foot) dolphin -- nicknamed Zafar -- bumped against boats and bathers, he said.

If you can’t by law, kill it…capture it and put it in an aquarium
"Free Willy!"
Give him some bolts from a cattle prod. After a few of those he probably won’t have much to do with humans.
Not sure but salt water may not be the best medium for using an electric cattle prod.
Sounds like they need to import a female dolphin.
It must have been molested by it’s teacher.
Lawyer Erwan Le Cornec told AFP he plans to file a petition to overturn the restrictions on the grounds of administrative over-reach.
“How many accidents involving a dolphin and a human have occurred in the region of Finistere since the two species have lived side-by-side?” he asked scornfully. “None.”
“With this decree the mayor is trying to make out that the dolphin is almost like a ferocious beast, something that is completely unpredictable, able to drown people.”
This lawyer should be made to track down grizzlies, or European wolves, using nothing more than honey and blood. A dolphin in the wild is just that, in the wild.
Dolphins often engage in rough play, holding each other down and giving chase, so it is possible that the dolphin was playing, but some dolphin experts claim that the creatures sometimes attack humans when they are feeling amorous.
Bottlenose dolphins can display violent mating practices where they act in groups to chase and mate with a female of their own species over weeks, whether she is interested or not.
Male dolphins are also known to fight and kill rivals and offspring, suggesting they could also turn on humans mistakenly.
Trevor Spradlin, a U.S. Federal dolphin expert told The New York Times that dozens of bites to humans have been reported and people have been pulled under the water by bottlenose dolphins, which can measure 12ft (3.7 metres) long and have sharp teeth to tear fish and squid.
LOL
The dolphin saw “The Shape of Water” on Netflix.
Can you blame him?
I think the dolphin got hold of the new script for the Weinstein remake of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, and took to heart the rewritten predator version of the dolphin routine that meant “So long, and thanks for all the fish!”.
As most experienced Scuba Divers can tell you, this is not uncommon and totally harmless.
Oh and BTW, the dolphins are not gay or trans, or and such permutation.
We always looked it as having a date for the day.
Maybe we are related.
Hehe!
“If you can’t by law, kill it…capture it and put it in an aquarium”
An aquarium in a bar in Tijuana and charge Marines to come and watch the show.
I saw “The Shape of Water” and it filled me with angry feelings, like “Who do I go to to get those two hours back?”
They are big and they are all muscle.
Is this one of your relations?
They call him F***r, F***r, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is hornier than he,
And we know F***r, lives in a world full of wonder,
F***ing there-under, under the sea!
