Selfie-Crazed Beachgoers Kill Rare Dolphin; Huffington Post, 2/18/16

Hilary Hanson, Huffington Post; Selfie-Crazed Beachgoers Kill Rare Dolphin:
"A mob of beachgoers desperate to take photos with two small dolphins killed at least one of the animals on a beach in Buenos Aires last week.
“This is more than upsetting,” Lori Marino, executive director of The Kimmela Center for Animal Advocacy, told The Huffington Post in an email. “It is an indictment of how our species treats other animals -- as objects for our benefit, as props, as things with value only in relation to us. This is a terribly painful story but it goes on, writ large, every day all over the world.”"
