Bob Builder, The 3 months agoThis is bullshit! They could have brought in a crane with a net or something, anything! They just said, lets wait ‘til high tide and see if the problem works itself out. We’re pathetic!

kristicolleen 3 months agoI hate this story. I just know it’s going to end with them having to euthanize the dolphin. This sucks. Poor little guy (or girl?). :( Also, why is New York Times in quotations? Is there some doubt about it’s legitimacy?
