Hernan Coria captured the incident in
photographs as the crowd at the beach resort of Santa Teresita paraded the La Plata
The episode has caused the Wildlife Foundation in Argentina
to publish a reminder about the vulnerable
species, which is only present off the coast of Argentina ,
Uruguay and Brazil
"Recently photographs taken in Santa
Teresita showing a group of people passing a dolphin around on dry land on two
occasions have emerged. At least one of these animals has died.
"This incident should help the
public understand the urgent need to return these dolphins to the sea when they
get close to the shore."
