Another animal dies in the Argentina beach all because of selfies. This time, it is a baby dolphin. It has been reported in the Argentinian paper that last Sunday, a tourist grabbed the dolphin from the waters of San Bernardo which was located around 200 miles south of Buenos Aires. There was a YouTube video where the crowd were standing or kneeling around the small baby dolphin.
According to CNET, this was not a work of one of two humans which caused the baby dolphin's death. It was a whole group of people who dragged the dolphin out from the water and surrounded it. There was also a woman who left paper quotes and said that those photos were taken for fun and they left it dead; and she called them Claudia as one of the witnesses.
Further, the woman also added that these people could have put the baby dolphin back to the water where dolphins are supposed to be; but the tourists were more than just interested in touching and taking selfies of the said creature.
There was also a video of the said incident which has been posted to Twitter. It showed several beach goers around the baby dolphin and no one seemed to show concern for it to survive.
This was not even the first time of such thing to happen in Argentina. It was also remembered that last February, last year, a man also dragged a rare Franciscana dolphin out of the water for the same reason and did a similar result. The tiny body of the dolphin was then left discarded on the sand of Santa Teresita, Argentina, News reported.
This shocking and repeating incident already prompted the Argentinian Wildlife Foundation to issue a public reminder about the vulnerable and friendly dolphins of the resort. There are about 30,000 of its species were left in the world.
