Such a pity! They do not know themselves. They have forgotten their greatness. Satisfied with their clever "intellect," which are but rearrangements of rigid thought forms, and convinced of their status as the highest form of intelligence, they blithely engage in "spiritual" and "scientific" and "progressive" activities which lead them inexorably to self-destruction. Yet, retaining their link to the universe still, they are puzzled and sometimes amazed by us. They want to know if we are intelligent and can "communicate," and if we have "language." Poor amusing fools! Why don't they just ask us? We would tell them all about what we are and what we know, and about what we have been doing for them over millennia, even though they have collectively treated us with indifference at best.
Absurd anthropomorphizing. Whales look on Orcas as humans look on rabid dogs as this video shows:

Further, different species of dolphins will attack, harrass, and kill other species. Bottle-nosed dolphins are particularly notorious for attacks on smaller porpoises and spinner dolphins.
And if you happen to be a menstrauting woman, god forbid you should be in the water with a male dolphin
