Would you go into a room with a strange 3 metre long dog?

I Heart Internet

If not, don't go swimming with a wild dolphin either.........it's not like in cartoons.....

Locals say the three-metre long mammal has been responsible for injuring a number of people over the past two years, with several of those being hospitalised with significant injuries.

Wild animals - enjoy them for what they are. But don't think they just want to cover you with angel kisses.

I came here looking for a three metre long dog.

I was robbed.

Yep. It's a wild animal. You wouldn't go into a field with a wild horse and try and jump on its back. So why would you do the same with a dolphin, in a habitat that's completely unfriendly to you.

There was a guy from a local wildlife group who said that when the dolphin first appeared it was friendly enough, but then some idiots were jumping in pulling on her fins and covering her blowhole, so she became much more wary of humans. At 3m long she probably weighs between 15 and 20 stone, so it would be a big mistake to assume she can't do any harm.

When i hear 3 metre long dog, I don't think of a really big dog that is proportional.
I think of a tiny little sausage dog that is 3 metres long.

I misread the title as '3 metre long dong'. I probably shouldn't post a picture of what I was thinking...

"Experts say the dolphin has become territorial about the slipway and steps at Doolin."

That dolpin needs to be taught a lesson,unless it built the slipway and steps or helped in the construction in some way.

I probably would go into a room with a long dog to be fair. Especially a strange 3 meter long one. Heck I might even pay if it was only a bob or two.


"ROLL UP ROLL UP!! SEE THE STRANGE 3 METER LONG DOG."




There's money to be made there.

Immigrant dolphins taking our slipways.

We should get some sharks to eat the dolphins.

Then to resolve the shark problem we need some killer whales.

To keep the killer whales in check we should get some polar bears.

Finally, global warming will resolve the polar bear crisis.

Man I'm good at this.

Shamu is kind of an asshole too. Killed a couple trainers over the years, whom are now no longer allowed in the water with the Orcas from my understanding.

Good. The less zombies allowed near the Orcas the better.

Was down in Doolin myself a few weekends back and, based on the behaviour of several people in the water that day, im not surprised the dolphin is getting pissed. Even when the lifeguard turned up and told the folks to move away as the dolphin was aggressive, they kept jumping at/on it and basically told the lifegaurd to f@@k off...bunch of idiots with no concept of what a wild animal is.

I do hope these were some of the people who ended up in hospital after being attacked by her. All the better if their injuries were 'significant'.

Flipper would do well the heed the words of George Best - "the media they're building you up just to knock you down"
It's easy for a young dolphin to have his head turned by the adulation, the champaign, the women(in bathing suits) but the basta1ds are just waiting to kick him off that pedestal.

They'd need to be genetically modified as they'd need opposable thumbs to work the trigger mechanism.

Have you fully thought this through? You could just replace polar bears with eskimos!

Can you imagine the size of a tail on a three metre long dog? I'm sure the wagging would blow a person away.

How will global warming solve the Japanese? They are a first world country who will be able to adapt to climate change.

The golden rule, as ever, applies here: how would you react if you were walking down the road minding your own business and a dolphin suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hopped up on you expecting you to carry him around on your back?

Nah, the Japanese could solve the whale problem. They like a bit of whale hunting, they do.

On the other hand, Japan is a series of islands, and global warming (climate change actually) contributes to rising water levels, wiping the Japanese out. So I guess whales could get revenge.

That's the golden rule?

I'll be honest, noone ever informed me about the rule of dolphins hopping on my back.

When did this become the rule? Did I miss the memo?
