Tourists Taking Photo with Stranded Dolphin Angers Netizens

Tourists in Sanya Take Photos with Stranded Dolphin

On the afternoon of June 16, at about 6pm, some city residents discovered a stranded dolphin in the waters of Hainan Province Sanya City Dadong Sea. While waiting for the rescue team to arrive, some tourists and city residents who were swimming at the sea rushed over to take photo of the dolphin upon hearing the news. Quite a few tourists kept asking the lifeguards to lift the dying dolphin out of the water so that they could take pictures with it. To this, an old fisherman passing by said that what they were doing was very inappropriate, and that it could easily cause the dolphin to choke on the water and die.

On the evening of June 16, in Hainan Province Sanyan City, on the surface of the Big East China Sea, people lifting the dying dolphin out of the water to take pictures with it.

Just couldn’t spare the dolphin, could you guys?

This is Chinese people, normal. As for the future of this nation? He he…

梦里甘苦皆都空 [网易江苏省苏州市网友]: (responding to above)

By the time they’re done taking pictures, the dolphin will pretty much be dead.

roren [网易广东省广州市网友]:

Just by their looks they don’t look like good people~

瑞丽柏克 [北京朝阳]:

A nation without the most basic common sense at all!

一一滴粑粑 [上海]:

Seeing how the comments are almost completely one-sided in criticism/condemnation, I think our nation still has hope!

yzlibin520 [湖南永州]:

With characters like these, no matter how powerful your economy gets, your nation will still be looked down upon by others. The Ugly Chinese, what will the future of our nation be? So worried.

黄德喜 [广东广州]:

How can they do this?! So inhumane. Dolphins are human’s best friends, they’d even protect us when we are under attack by sharks. Is this how we repay them?!! Strongly condemn this kind of inhumane behavior.

放弃所有2010 [江苏淮安]:

Rather than immediately thinking of saving a life, they selfishly took photos. I feel ashamed for the characters of my compatriots.

Comments from QQ:

腾讯网友 Hui:

Just one look at these SBs and you can tell they aren’t good people.

腾讯江苏省网友 C´estbon:

That’s a friend of humankind, even saver of lives! How But you guys, you’re fucking taking pictures?! Why not go take funeral pictures with your dying fathers?! Motherfuckers! A bunch of beasts… Are you the only people who have cell phones [and thus must show off the ability to take photos with them]?! What were you waiting for?! Hurry and save the dolphin!

腾讯网友 О〇兜兜裤O:

When they’re about to die, I hope a dolphin comes and drowns them in the water.

腾讯龙岩市网友 -:

I suggest using a rope to hoist these people taking group photos [with the dolphin] for us to take pictures with them.

腾讯网友不羁的念想、:

I suggest a human flesh search, they are all beasts. String them up and death by a thousand cuts.

腾讯网友今生有缘:

A bunch of of nao can bunch, evaluation complete. If it was a shark, then it might be forgiven, but that’s a dolphin, our good friend.

腾讯网友羽声:

When will our compatriots improve their characters?! I’m no longer able to put my feelings in words.

腾讯网友 Somnusヽ:

Even taking a self photo? What were you thinking, dude?

腾讯网友洺□愺□嘸炷:

Damn, a bunch of scumbags who have no love for animals.

腾讯网友行云流水:

Since they are so into taking pictures of themselves, so narcissistic, might as well just show them on Xinwen Liaobo. Such disgusting men.

An update from Sina Weibo:

@新浪视频: Stranded Dolphin in Sanya Died from Inhaling Water: On the 16th, some city residents discovered a stranded dolphin, and some tourists lifted it up [out of the water] to take pictures with it. According to a report on the 17th by Dragon TV: The divers were trying to help the dolphin by lifting it up, because dolphins breathe with their backs, and leaving it in the seawater would be dangerous, so they lifted it up, and only during the time that some tourists were taking pictures. After the dolphin was taken to the hospital, it died last night [June 16] at 12 midnight due to having inhaled too much water.
