(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 presented for Channel 4, before we met.
It was on their COMMENT snippet, which followed on from Channel 4 News, when 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, then it could have made its feelings known in no uncertain manner.
The resurfacing of this incident surfaced after we had visited the local 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, for the first time, able to make me aware of his empathy with what Fiona and myself thought about the innocence of pleasuring an animal.
Mr Maher now pleaded in defence of another chap in a similar situation.
