Dolphins...rape?
wut
Actually, yeah. They're kind of thuggish.
It's not a small percentage of them, either. They
regularly indulge in infanticide, gang-rape (sometimes to the extent of actual murder) and all kinds of stuff.
I remember seeing a documentary, a few years ago, which showed this video taken by tourists, who are applauding and cheering, because they thought they were shooting film of a baby dolphin playing with an adult one near their boat. Turned out, it was a male who was repeatedly flipping the thing up,
just for fun - knowing it was killing the poor thing in the process. Literally stringing it out for entertainment value.
Also covered an incident where a load of porpoises were washing up on beaches and the US Navy was getting blamed by environmentalist groups, who were assuming it was something to do with evil experiments of doom. Turned out, it was just dolphins moving into an area, finding porpoises and
killing them for fun (either partially or fully with their echo ability).
Not for food. Not for territory. Because the dolphins weren't residing anywhere near. Just for fun.
Psychopaths of the oceans...
If memory serves right, divers who know they go around them tend to be warned to be careful, because they can get a bit frisky with humans, too. I even remember reading about that in old Jacques Cousteau books.
