Los Angeles (AP) -- Four dead dolphins have washed ashore with fatal bullet wounds and fifth with lacerations on its pectoral fin, said authorities who have offered a reward for information on the slayings.
The long-beaked common dolphins were all discovered between Carlsbad State Beach and Oceanside Harbor between May 29 and June 5. Photos showed their normally sleek gray skin mottled and stained with blood from the bullet wounds.
"It's a horrendous thing that happened," said Mark Oswell, spokesman for the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration. "That someone would go out there and shoot four dolphins."
Necropsies revealed that the dolphins, which were healthy with bellies full of fish, may have been shot at the same time with the same gun. Four had between one and three bullets of the same caliber in the same part of their heads.

“said authorities who have offered a reward for information on the slayings.”
slayings?
Bottlenose dolphins may look cute but in reality they are a predator. Piss one off and see how cute they really are.

I long for the day when these animal lovers hold fetuses in the same regard as they do a dolphin.

Thats sick. It won’t be long until they start pumping bullets into people if the culprit hasn’t done so already.

I didn’t do it.
After the ‘incident’ in west Sac involving my boat, harpoon and the group of hippies I’m not going ‘fishing’ again soon.
But I really wanted that whale veal.
