I want to know what the dolphen was wearing, maybe a dark hoodie. Will they release the arrest record of the dulphin? What was the dolphin holding? Why is so much media attention going to this one dolphon? All sea creatures matter. I read the fisherman thought it was his taser and feared for his life, let's see how you react in a dark alley with a young dofin.
Dofin is their word, we really shouldn't be using it at all. Dolphin is the acceptable spelling and term.
No no, it's okay, my nephew is half porpoise, I can say that.
I heard the dolphin has no currently active warrants, and may have been armed, although no weapon was located at the scene.
Well I'm 1/8 dolphin, my great great grandmother was a dolphin princess.
Loooooool
I’d really prefer if you used “D***n” instead of typing out the word. It’s kind of jarring to see it out there even in an educational context.
"HE HAD A BLOWGUN I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY"
That Dolphin was No Angel!!!!!!!!!! Stand for are Cop’s and Kneel for are Cross!
If it was a dauphin that was shot, everyone in this corner of the Fediverse would be cheering.
I hear he was buying skittles and a drink. Dolphin was clearly making lean.
