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

Apparently the smarter the animal, the more weird shit it does

At this point I'm waiting for elephant controversy facts. Absence of any information shows that they're at least good at hiding

I also think that the more intelligent an animal is the the more variation in behaviour is among individuals of that species. Behaviour and traditions between pods vary drastically. Because they're a different species to us, it's pretty easy for us to look at fucked up things a group of dolphins do and assume it's something that is an innate behavior as a species instead of something that specific pod does as a "tradition."
