2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Off-topic, but it's annoying how Lemmy will grab an image for a post, you go to the article, and can't find it anywhere... wtf?
The beluga mafia strikes again. Flipper sleeps with the humans.
The obvious solution is to arm other dolphins with AR-15s.
I think SONAR-15s are the aquatic version
The only way this story could be more American was if it had been a child dolphin, in a public school.
Who's to say it wasn't another dolphin? Those things are smart and also violent. They probably can figure out how to shoot a gun.
If they get in cahoots with the Orcas attacking ships, we're screwed.
OK real shit if you shot and killed a dolphin, why in the fuck would you not harvest the meat? Like when else are you ever gonna get to try dolphin? Obviously I wouldn't personally shoot a dolphin but if I did you can bet your ass I'm gonna try its meat instead of letting it rot
Like the guy that killed the wolf in Wyoming? Surprisingly a lot of people that play around with guns seem to think that life is cheap, They're willing to kill people for lots of reasons, like arguing over parking spaces or whatever. Animal life is cheaper still. When you have a hammer you're just looking for nails, and a dolphin is just another throwaway to shoot at.
Dolphins can rape...so in the 0.000000001% chance that it raped its killer or did some other kind of gruesome attack, I guess that could be the justification.
Not defending it; just trying to answer your hypothetical questions! Lmao
