Dolphin Selfies

Dolphin Selfies Cartoon

I read the other day about the stupid behavior of beach goers in Argentina. Ā Seems a babyĀ Franciscanas Dolphin was stuck near the shore so instead of helping the animal back into the water, overzealous tourists decided to pull it onto the beach and take selfies with it. Ā Of course it quickly dehydrated and died.

I was thinking about it when I got a Facebook notification from Dan Soto

Dan-Soto-Facebook-request

Not quite what Dan requested but challenge accepted. Ā  Like Planet of the Apes, what happens when the animals turn on us and start reacting in human behavior. Ā OK far fetched but Dolphin Selfies is something I want to see. Ā šŸ™‚

    Excellent cartoon work, Bearman, but bad on those people who let the dolphin die.

    Too bad people don’t have the intelligence of dolphins.

        That would be too much to hope for.

    I guess (hope) they didn’t mean any harm. Sometimes people in large groups do really stupid things.
    Mob mentality.

    If you pardon the salty language, those people were so fothermucking stupid do such a completely idiotic thing.

    Why yes, lets pass an animal around until it dies, ’cause you know, it’s better to be immortalized with an amphibian than it is to do the right thing.

      I wonder how many of those who posted their selfie on social media, quickly took it down

    Funny comic. Too bad it was inspired by such a crappy incident. šŸ™

    As I watch and read more about animals I realize that many are very intelligent. I didn’t know that until I was older. Dolphins are have developed a language, hunt together, and are very social. I suspect the tourist didn’t even think about the dolphin’s condition. We should respect other animals especially more advanced ones. Thanks for the post – I had not heard about this.

      If you are going to eat it, eat it. But for selfies or sport I don’t get

    The amount of admiration I have for your cartoon is equal to the disgust I feel for those cretinous and reprehensible opportunists in Argentina.

    What a shame. I do think all those involved in the selfies there should have themselves passed around as they did the dolphin. Under water of course.

    Great job.

    Have a fabulous day. ☺

    When I saw that on the news I was livid, If only your comic had actually happened to that group of people!

    Your cartoon is hilarious but the selfie people deserve it to become reality. This makes me so angry.
