A dolphin gang claiming territory, I wonder if they're native to our waters?

Maybe an accident

Judged:

Are we sure they're doing it on porpoise?

Now the police are going to have to forget about gang activity and DUI's and make saving porpoises their top priority!

Maybe these dolphins need some outreach counciling.

But Al Gore predicted this.

Unfortunately, his docu-fantasy ran over-budget and they had to cut out the part about animals attacking animals because of global warming.

I am a sailor and have also witnessed this dolphin attack activity just near the Cement Ship off Seacliff State Beach. Our crew captured both video and photo footage of it in early August and shared it with Long Marine Lab, so hopefully as more data is collected, the research community can determine the cause of this strange behavior.

I'm now waiting for the greenies to blame the dolphin attacks by spinning a tale about global warmning as being the cause.

Did I read correctly that the dolphins actually brought the porpoise carcass to the researchers? Maybe the dolphins thought the researchers wanted them to do it. Hmmm.

I thought this was very odd too. What are the dolphins tryin to tell the researchers? That humans are next? Or that porpoise was a bad guy? All jokes aside, to me it's very interesting that they would do that.

Yeah, I hear the porpoises are deniers. You'd think sea animals would be down with rising sea levels - more territory.

I helped Longs Marine lab scoop a dead porpoise off the beach at New Brighton. It had it's ribs broken and it had dolphin teeth marks scrapped around the tail and back. Weird?

An apology should go out to the fishing industry. I saw a news report strongly suggesting that fisherman had something to do with it. Why are there people who cannot just accept the facts of life and let nature run its course? Uurrgghh!

The missing tiki is behind all of this...trust me
