Dolphin Selfie Death: Did A Group Of Tourists In Argentina Really Kill A Rare Dolphin For Photos? [VIDEO]
A video and photo of what appears to be a group of selfie-crazed tourists on an Argentinian beach passing a dolphin around has sparked outrage after that dolphin was later found lying dead in the sand.
The dolphin's death has been blamed on the group of tourists, who allegedly carried it out of the water and passed it among themselves so they could take photos with it during their day at the beach. The dolphin was later found discarded on the shore, dead, sparking a massive outrage around the world with many demanding that those in the group face the consequences of their actions.

Absolutely raging and appalled at all those people who killed that baby dolphin. All for a bloody selfie — kllsy (@madeinkellsey) February 18, 2016
However, there is some question over whether or not the tourists are actually to blame for the death, with a video posted online which shows when the dolphin washed up on shore, and allegedly shows the group--before they haul it to the shore--trying to determine whether or not the dolphin was dead or dying before they took it.
The situation is still under potential investigation.
