Baby Dolphin Dies After Tourists Pass It Around For Selfies
This is (NOT FUN), This is (MURDER)!
A rare baby dolphin has died on the beach after selfish tourists pulled it from the ocean so they could take selfies with it.
Shocking footage from Santa Teresita beach in Buenos Aires, Argentina, shows the body of the marine mammal lying motionless on the floor as dozens of people surround it.
The Franciscana dolphin had been passed around between sun worshippers while they took out their phones and posed for pictures
Dumped:

It was then dumped on the side to die from dehydration and overheating from exposure to the sun.
A spokesperson for the Argentine Wildlife Foundation (AWF) condemned the actions of the tourists.
They said:
“This serves to inform the public about the urgent necessity to return these dolphins to the sea as soon as possible.”
The footage sparked fury from viewers, many taking to Twitter to vent their anger at the actions of those on the beach.

Hopefully the “selfies” will be used to not only shame them to their family, friends, and co-workers, but maybe help to identify for charges.

Anyone who would take such a beautiful creature who has never harmed them, given only joy and beauty, doesn’t have a heart, a good spirit, or any depth… Maybe they should begin to pray and ask for a heart… for depth… that they never ever again give in to the mob mentality, just to join in on the “fun”~
