Conservation experts and federal agents say they're looking into the violent deaths of several bottlenose dolphins along the northern Gulf Coast this year, including one that was shot and another that was stabbed with a screwdriver.

"I can't explain why anyone would shoot a dolphin," Jeff Radonski, a Florida-based special agent for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told CNN. Radonski said NOAA is investigating four of the six deaths reported since June.

NOW I see why they bought 600 million rounds of .40 cal ammo. Gotta stop all those dolphin killing maniacs.

Shot and stabbed with a screwdriver? Sounds like gangland executions to me. Have they questioned the local loan sharks?

I don't know what happened to these six dolphins, or why.
Dolphins are not always warm and fun loving creatures.
Boat propellers hurt a lot of them.

Several thousands of people were also murdered in the USA alone in the same past few months.

Priorities are important.

That's one reality-based cop show/procedural crime drama angle that hasn't been explored yet.

Such a great govt.
All in favor of killing pre-born infants and all worried about killing dolphins.

I imagine it's pretty difficult to do. I think the screwdriver one showed a certain lust for death as well.

Are they sure it wasn't just a mass suicide?

Ok, who told them that Obama won?

It is sickening and I find nothing funny about it, unlike some Freepers. I would not have posted the story if I thought people would find it amusing. Disappointed.
