A tidal wave of outrage and condemnation continues to gain momentum in response to the death of a dolphin after tourists hauled it out of the water to pose for pictures with it.

The dolphin had been swept ashore on a beach in Hainan province in China, possibly after an encounter with a boat. Instead of seeking help for the dolphin, a group of tourists manhandled it and posed for a series of photos with the distressed creature. It later died of internal bleeding.

Scorn for this behaviour has been plentiful and persistent, creating a firestorm of criticism on social media.
