    Don't swim with the dolphins!

    Or else the feds will get you! Seems a bit excessive to me. Also notice they were harrassing "wild" dolphins.

    Drone video captures swimmers harassing wild dolphins in Hawaii, officials say (nbcnews.com)

    I think there are other things the dolphins have to worry about other than people. Great whites have been known to prey on them. Geez, i really dont think those dolphins give two shits about us. Flick of a tail and they are gone.

    A group of 33 swimmers? I've never gone swimming with that many people in my life. I do find it hard to believe the dolphins couldn't get away if they wanted to

    Those swimmers have about as much of a chance of harming those dolphins as i do of running down a mature whitetail, grabbing him by the antlers and hog tying him! Any one of those dolphins could turn around and break the ribs of those people in a few seconds. Dolphins have been known to turn on full grown sharks and kill them so i doubt there worried about people swimming around them.

    It's the modern Instagram world, large groups of people doing the same things.

    Nice little payday for the Feds at 33 x 11K = $360K

    Taking a lesson from the locals in conducting speed traps I guess!

    What's next, walking by a pigeon and it flys off you are harassing them?

    my guess is they got out of there with just a stern warning and DNLR is just using the situation for "educational purposes"

    Think they need to worry about better things that need to be done.

    It's Hawaii so what else is on their radar besides tourist watching and rerouting vehicles due to lava flows when necessary?

    They broke the law. Plain and simple. I remember when a group of toursists got a hold of a baby dolphin and killed it.
    They're eating the Penguins, they're eating the seals...
