Move over cocaine sharks, here come the fentanyl dolphins …

An alarming number of bottlenose dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico were found to have traces of fentanyl in their system, shocking scientists with a horrifying twist to the drug epidemic.

Traces of the powerful synthetic opioid was first found inside a dead dolphin that was floating in the gulf water when it was then examined by researchers from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in Sept. 2020.

What was supposed to be a routine analysis of blubber turned into years-long research — with more than a third of the dolphins tested also positive for drugs.

And the envirolosers are worried about the penguins down in Antartica. Running and selling fentanyl should be a capital offense.

The left doesn’t care about fentanyl killing Americans, but they will be outraged that it’s killing dolphins.

Dayum. Even the Mexican dolphins are drug-runners.

(It’s only a joke. Most Mexican dolphins are hard-working, God-fearing citizens, and it’s only the ones who’ve taken advantage of our broken immigration system who I have a problem with. And Odell Beckham. Just because his name sounds reminds me of a Kardassian)

I read something once about how dolphins eat puffer fish to get high.

Is it okay to say the Dolphin has a monkey on his back?

That’s a good example of their mind-set. Sick to the core.

Poor flipper is a drug addict now

Like a number of other young stars, Flipper had a difficult time in his later years. After his popular TV show left the air, new roles were difficult to find, having been typecast as a dolphin. Flipper developed a substance abuse problem which led to two failed marriages and run-ins with the law. His present whereabouts are unknown.
