I've heard stories to this effect as well -- but it seems
more like it is not so much being mean as being playful.
E.g., lets play with this baby shark or baby fish, etc.
Though I think dolphins may be prone to gang-rape.
Whether you view this as reasonable animal behavior
or object to it remains an unresolved moral question
in my mind.
