TL;DR: Individual who took part in dolphin research 40 years ago has basically said that … he … had a sexual relationship with one of the dolphins he was supposed to be doing research on. What. The.

Or read Sharyn McCrumb’s _If I’d Killed Him When I Met Him_. A woman meets an attorney and asks for his help. She wants to marry a dolphin. His response: “Wow, I’m a huge fan of the team. Which player?” She clarifies. It doesn’t end well for her, at all. The title doesn’t refer to the dolphin, BTW. ---

I love how he tries to use statements like how dolphins can die of a broken heart as evidence for how free-willed and smart they are, and thus how he didn’t do anything that would have hurt her. Except that she died less than a year after being shipped off to another oceanarium, away from him. :dubious: ---

You’re surprised? Dolphins are tramps. Especially captive ones, with little else to do all day. ---

It’s a bit endearing to see that people are still surprised by other people’s sexual fantasies/behavior in 2013. That said, I’m pretty amused by the comments on that article. > [@](#): > > Man K-9/ Police Teams are very close to their dogs. Very close. Very close. This is a fact. Why do you think that these dogs lay down their lives for their handlers and will not leave the handler’s side, even after death???!!! You heard it here, folks. The reason police dogs are so loyal is that their owners perform sexual acts on them. ---
