They're doing it on porpoise.

The japanese seem to have this problem in hand. Simply eat the gangs of dolphins.

isn't that a dolphins main porpoise in life?

"It was incredible to finally fit some action to our theories," said Okeanis field director Mark Cotter, who captured the footage along with fellow researcher Thomas Jefferson.

FTFA: The video shows a group of male dolphins using several techniques to assault a porpoise as it tries to get away. The dolphins corral the porpoise, ram it with their beaks, scrape or rake it with their teeth and drown the porpoise by jumping on top of it. The dolphins then bring the carcass up to the Okeanis researchers, watch them bring it on board and then swim away.

So... they off the porpoise, then they bring it to the researchers?!

That sounds to me more like a warning not to fall in the water...

"Hey. You in our turf, boys. This is what happens when you get in our turf."

/loves dolphins, but would not go swimming with that bunch

what would the dolphins think & act like if we put some gang unit cops out there with tasers?
if they obey then they can get rewards, like tattoos.

Are humans smart enough to convey the idea of tattoos & sell it to the alien gangstas?

are they killing another race to appease the alien mouth breathers or are they just trolling?

I'm pretty sure the"evil" scale goes something like this:

Humans > Chimps > or = Dolphins

/ probably a correlation to intelligence here.
// depressing thought...

It's the Dolphins first step in their quest to take over the world.

I noticed that too. I wonder if these dolphins have noticed that the researchers just seem to love the dead porpoises. They always pay attention to them and take them away for study. Maybe it was a present. A horribly gruesome present.

If you can't fark it, kill it.

PETA is all up in arms! They're scheduling protests, a targeted leaflet campaign and... oh wait! Other animals killing animals is cool.

It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes air breathers.

They're trying to get the Japanese to eat dolphin instead of porpoise.

"Just try it. It's much tastier..."

Why is it sad? Certainly, it doesn't jive with the values of human society, but it's the way things are. It's like saying, "Pretty sad that gravity obeys the inverse square law."

Maybe they don't like being monitored and it's a warning?

I have no idea what you're talking about, so here's an oil pastel drawing of Michelle Obama cavorting with a pink Obama-supporting dolphin, both with pancakes on their heads?

/pretty long for a meme, but...

"Scientists suspected dolphins, which have a relatively docile reputation, have been attacking the smaller porpoises because the porpoises have been washing up on the shore with rake marks and internal bleeding, but they never had any proof."

So are the dolphins offended by the porpoises washing up on shore or something?
