Tourist stole dolphin from a beach then walked off casually


A tourist has been caught on camera casually walking away with a dying dolphin on a beach. Police are now hunting the man who carried the dolphin on his shoulder after picking it up on Hailing Island, off the cost of Yangjiang City, in south China. 

Footage shot by another tourist shows the smiling man in swimming shorts casually walking away with the animal.
According to a local marine patrol volunteer, witnesses saw the beachgoer approaching the dolphin after it appeared to beach itself. Experts are yet to identify the species of the animal. The man then approached it and carried it away, perhaps believing that ‘it would die anyway’.

‘Dolphins are a state-protected species’, the volunteer said, adding: ‘ven if it had died, he’s still not allowed to take it himself.’ He said: ‘Specimens are always supposed to be handed over to wildlife authorities.’
