(287) The TV item pointing out the dolphin did not object to being pleasured

On the morning of September 26th 2017 I mentioned to my wife a piece she had, several times before, told me that she had, before we met, presented for Channel 4.
It was on their COMMENT snippet, which followed on from Channel 4 News and she had spoken in defence of a man convicted of sexual assault by stimulating a dolphin with his hand. She pointed out that, had the animal not enjoyed it, it could have made its feelings known in no uncertain manner.
The resurfacing of this incident surfaced after we had visited the beach and given scraps to a local seagull whom we had dubbed "Gavin".
Later that day I was surfing across Youtube and found myself watching a Bill Maher show where he was to make me aware, for the first time, of his empathy with what Fiona and myself thought as he now pleaded in defence of another chap in a similar situation.
