It made to Asian news
2016年2月18日报道，阿根廷一处海滩日前有游客捉到一条小海豚，不少游人见它相当可爱，只顾争相触摸它并与它合照，最终令它脱水而死。
该海豚在布宜诺斯艾利斯省圣特雷西塔海滩被捕获，有游客将它抬起来巡游展示，其他游客大量蜂拥而上，触摸它或与它合照。然而，小海豚因离开海水太久，最终脱水和身体过热死亡。泳客见其死后，最终将它弃在沙滩。
小海豚因离开海水太久，最终脱水和身体过热死亡。泳客见其死后，最终将它弃在沙滩。阿根廷野生动物基金会事后发出警告，指全球仅剩3万条拉普拉塔海豚，属易危物种。

Yeah no words and the truly sad part is there are documented cases of dolphins protecting humans from sharks.

So sad, saw this on some news site and didn't click the link because I didn't really want to know... how awful it happened here.How ignorant and stupid.... not one sane humane person among them to say "put it back in the water?"

Appalling to see the once lovely dolphin dead because of a selfie!
Killed by the abysmal ignorance of
selfish abominable humans,
they used him and then
discarded him like trash.

It's hard - impossible? - to improve on Mark Twain:
"In the course of my reading I had come across a case where, many years ago, some hunters on our Great Plains organized a buffalo hunt for the entertainment of an English earl. They had charming sport. They killed seventy-two of those great animals; and ate part of one of them and left the seventy-one to rot. In order to determine the difference between an anaconda and an earl (if any) I caused seven young calves to be turned into the anaconda's cage. The grateful reptile immediately crushed one of them and swallowed it, then lay back satisfied. It showed no further interest in the calves, and no disposition to harm them. I tried this experiment with other anacondas; always with the same result. The fact stood proven that the difference between an earl and an anaconda is that the earl is cruel and the anaconda isn't; and that the earl wantonly destroys what he has no use for, but the anaconda doesn't. This seemed to suggest that the anaconda was not descended from the earl. It also seemed to suggest that the earl was descended from the anaconda, and had lost a good deal in the transition."
