Baby dolphin dies after being paraded around beach by cruel idiots for photos
- 8 years ago
BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA — A baby dolphin was killed by a crowd of people at Santa Teresita beach in Argentina when they kept it out of the water for too long.
Photos of the young La Plata river dolphin were posted to Facebook, and netizens reacted with shock and outrage.
The dolphin sideshow ended when the dolphin likely became dehydrated and overheated from being out of the water for too long.
Its lifeless body was abandoned after the crowds had their fill of torturing the aquatic mammal.
This species, also known as the Franciscana dolphin, is listed as vulnerable in the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species.
Statistics indicate there are only around 30,000 La Plata dolphins left. They are particularly vulnerable because they swim near the shoreline.
