tldr: Let's just say Dolphins would be Hitler's biggest fans

More context:

So dolphins have many morally questionable behaviors by human standards, some of which include:

- gang rape, I am not joking

  • Getting high on pufferfish
  • Killing other animals for no reason just for fun
  • Dolphins also kill baby dolphins because they see the calves as competition
  • Invention of mustard gas (I might have made that up, but I am sure if they were given the chance, they'd have done it)
  • Dolphins like to play with other animals, like using a baby shark as a volleyball

>gang rape, I am not joking

That's a thing in bottlenose dolphins, other species don't do that.

>Getting high on pufferfish

Again, bottlenose thing. And scientists are skeptical about the "getting high part", it's more playful behavior rather than actually doing drugs.

>Killing other animals for no reason just for fun

As if humans didn't do the same...

>Dolphins also kill baby dolphins because they see the calves as competition

That's normal for a lot of animals, like lions that kill other lion's cubs in order to make their genes prevail.

>Invention of mustard gas

Can confirm, i was the mustard.

>Dolphins like to play with other animals, like using a baby shark as a volleyball

Orcas do that too.

I think we should stop appliying human morals on animals because, ya know, THEY'RE ANIMALS, THEY'RE NOT PEOPLE.
