Yes, it's illegal to interact with dolphins in the wild, including attempting to speak to them. This is because interacting with dolphins can be harmful to the animals and people.
The MMPA allows fines and jail time for attempting to communicate with dolphins
Why it's illegal
The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) prohibits recreational interactions with marine mammals.
Interacting with dolphins can disrupt their natural behaviors, such as feeding, nursing, or resting. Interacting with dolphins can negatively affect their behavior, which is considered harassment under federal law.
They only made it illegal when leftists discovered 92% of dolphins would vote republican if allowed to vote under the aquatic voter registration act.
Hahaha.. Top Kek
You be you, but I'm still looking for cheap gas, and eggs.
Heh.. Seriously though, jail for talking to dolphins?
It's seriously dumb, and I won't defend it. But ... has this ever been enforced even once? What a thing to have on your permanent record!
Right? They'll see your "criminal record" and it says: Attempting to communicate with dolphins :O But they have no problem with abortions or grooming kids.
It’s so cool when you encounter a wild animal who seem to have a soul, or at least is intelligent enough that you can communicate with them. Mostly happens with squirrels for me. Clever little critters.
What if the swim team coach at Rio Linda Highschool identifies as a dolphin. Are all the children subject to fines and arrest?
Absolutely! lol
We don't want to disrupt the resting of dolphins by saying hello, but it's fine to cut the nuts off your sons and zipper tit your daughter.
There's more to MAGAing than stimi checks and how much money we are 'saving'. I hope.
This is so weird that you posted this because I just saw a video about this on Instagram yesterday.
I think this is one of the reasons why they made these laws. If you wanna read more about it, you’ll have to do your own research, but this is just a short recap of the craziness that was going on back in the 60s
The story you're likely thinking of involves a woman named Margaret Howe Lovatt, who, during a NASA-funded experiment in the 1960s, developed a close relationship with a male dolphin named Peter, to the point where she would manually relieve his sexual urges due to the close living quarters and his frequent arousal while attempting to learn human communication; this situation became controversial due to the unusual nature of the human-dolphin interaction, often described as "jacking off a dolphin" in popular discourse. Key points about the story: The researcher: Margaret Howe Lovatt The dolphin: Peter The experiment goal: To teach the dolphin to communicate with humans The controversial aspect: Lovatt physically stimulating Peter to manage his sexual urges during the close-quarters living situation
—- apparently because of the controversy, the study was stopped, and the dolphin was affected so negatively that he died of a broken heart, and he dove to the bottom of the pool and died. Committed suicide basically.
People suicide themselves for lost loves too. Why are there no laws prohibiting speaking to people ....
What? Doge issues .. get out of here.
She would have been in jail in 2025
