A dolphin’s carcass was found at the Parchment Square Student Accommodation complex on the Model Farm Road, Cork.
Some animals’ rights types have said
That a dolphin, even if it’s dead
Shouldn’t come to a bash
Where a lad on the lash
Might carry it over his head.

Today on 96FM’s The Opinion Line, PJ Coogan spoke to Captain Paul Watson, of The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, about his offer of a €2,000 reward in relation to individuals seen dancing with a sea creature in the Parchment Square complex. (Some reports call it a dolphin but the species is uncertain).
Hilarious crack, like. I hope they all get eaten by sharks.
Or stung on their bits by a particularly aggressive jellyfish.
Put the dolphin down, pull up your jeans and get the hoover out ya sap.
You sound oddly like my dad right now…
In a good way I hope :)
Ah papa meadowlark is only the best of men :)
Mildred, I’d be curious to hear the circumstances under which your father instructed you to:
“Put the dolphin down, pull up your jeans and get out the hoover ye sap”
And did you comply with the instruction?
I shan’t be sharing that particular family anecdote. It doesn’t reflect well on me.
“Da, this isn’t a dolphin – it’s an oversized, inflatable mickey. But, fair enough, I’ll take it into town one last time”
Makes sense now.
Oh no…
It was much worse than that.
the state of yer man with his underpants
he’ll never amount to anything
Well you sure have him pigeon-holed good and proper.
Carry on.
Necrofishiacs.
tuna soon!
canned see the humour in this
Everyone wants to be a fun-gi.
not d-ingleing for me, sorry
lads, did ye do that on porpoise?
People are clam hammers.
I don’t think clam hammer sounds like a bad enough thing.
“Clam hammers” – I can’t even imagine what this was supposed to be before BS cleaned it up.
So the dolphin was already dead? Meh…
so that negates respect
Well, it makes it much less likely that the dolphin would feel disrespected, for one.
I don’t think that it was a particularly clever thing to do, but no animals were actually hurt or anything, so I don’t really see it as something to get too worked up over.
more disgusted by the behaviour than worked up
Here what if it was a dead Labrador Rob? Same story?
I would probably feel more disgust with a dog or cat, given humanity’s close relationship to them, yes.
Do you think the fact you feel a closer relationship with cats and dogs makes the fact this was done to a dolphin an objectively less harmful act? Do you not think it just shows your own personal biases and perspectives?
Rob that dolphin was a personal friend of mine , he went on the lash with the students and we all know the rest, nonetheless in my honest opinion he deserved a good Piscean burial
not worked up
just disgusted
pretty classless behaviour
There’s something deeply disturbing about seeing people playing with animal carcasses. Let’s hope the college kicks them out.
steak them out?
Fungi? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
