Dolphins are... yeah they were high on my list before I found out some things about them, look it up
Intelligent animals have a high degree of differentiated personalities and cultures. Some dolphins are really bad dudes, but that can't be generalized to all dolphins any more than [x bad act] can be generalized to all humans, or blaming fighting ring dogs for holding on to their conditioning. Dolphins raised in more pro-social environments will turn out more pro-social.
Octopi are also highly individual (though they don't really have cultures because they are solitary, unless their distributed intelligence interacting with itself counts as a culture) for the same reason.
apes and dinosaurs cannot be put high enough lmao
That said, if you are really worried about animals committing heinous acts of torture and sexual violence, I've got some absolutely dire news for you about chimps.
Male dolphins are like that in the wild, not that we train them like dogs.
Yes.
As for chimps, they are literally us 98% and same as humans where on one hand you have Castro and on the other Kissinger, every individual is different.
I'm going to become the joker. What you explained with chimps is literally exactly what I just explained to you with dolphins. They are highly individual.
