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
Because the entire point was clearly to torture an intelligent being. Disturbing.
Just buy a can of tuna.
