    So I just read this article:

    http://www.trueactivist.com/woman-d...ource=fb&utm_medium=fb&utm_campaign=antimedia

    If you don't want to read it: Basically it is (as the title says) about a woman who thought it was nice to take a selfie with a swan. She hurts the swan, takes a selfie with it and leaves it to die. In the article you can also see a picture of a group of people who are taking a selfie with a baby dolphin. There is also an article about that, but that doesn't matter. What matters is, is that these people literally have no idea what they are doing. They just think it is nice to take a selfie with animals, not thinking about the results of their actions.

    I have nothing against taking selfies. People are free to do so, but not if it hurts animals. Both of these animals (the swan and the baby dolphin) died because of some stupid people.

    So basically, I just wanted to discuss this with you guys and I wondered what your opinions are about this. I know that ''this is the world these days'', but I think this is going too far.

    How did it come to this madness? I can remember people voting for Trump, but damn, that is heresy in the human race.

    Honestly the real world is looking more like GTA V, a world meant to exaggerate the stupidity and stereotypes of our species.

    "Really, is there no end to human stupidity" I couldn't agree more.

    The sad thing is that these horrific actions will not stop anytime soon. And when you look at it, most of these crimes are caused by excessive time on social media/electronics. And America is basically the place for that stuff. It would take a miracle to stop this. But, nothing is impossible..

    Wow, this actually hits really hard. I'm so concerned for not only animal species, but human species too. I love animals so much.

    Why doesn't everyone feel the same? Thank you Dest, this really inspires me to make a difference.
    I'm honestly so cheesy but it's true.

    It hits me hard aswell. I love animals (which is why I study to become a animal caretaker). I don't understand how people can hurt, hunt and kill animals.

    The minute I read the link before I opened it, I was like,
    "Hey I hope this article isn't made by those annoying idiots who stand around at a Wringling Brothers Show/Circus and force us to not enter or whatever to SAVE THE ELEPHANTS."
    Because they make things dramatic and over-exaggerate things.

    Don't believe everything you read online, this is obviously fake.

    Why didn't the camera man stop her if he knew it was wrong?

    Yes, the dolphin was already dead, before the people found it and passed it around for selfies.
