On June 16, an injured dolphin was seen struggling in the shallows of the Dadong Sea in Sanya, Hainan. Animal rescue workers were soon called to help; however while they were on their way, a group of swimmers decided to lift the animal out of the water and pose for photos with it.

It was later reported that the dolphin died around midnight while being treated due to excessive bleeding from the tail. The photos of the swimmers have since gone viral on the internet with many netizens condemning their actions.

In only weeks after the scandal regarding the boy in Egypt who defaced an ancient relic, it seems Chinese tourists aren’t helping themselves with regard to their international image.
