Also jerks.

I and the ex had a "swim with the dolphins" outing some years back.

No reported raping. But between times, the dolphin would nab a fish and then play hackey-sack with it on his snoot. The fish would try to get away from time to time, and the dolphin would nab it by the tail, throw it into the air, and then continue until called by the trainer.

It wasn't hungry (he was fed by the trainer) and he did not eat the fish, he was just amusing himself by terrorizing an innocent passer-by.


And that night, someone kept knocking on the door and trying to break in to the hotel room. I thought it was the same dolphin, but he was wearing a hat and we couldn't prove anything. Clever bastard.
