Brittany Mahomes shared what she thought was a typical vacation post on Instagram, but it quickly became fuel for backlash. According to the Daily Mail, Mahomes shared a series of photos of her and her family swimming with the dolphins in Hawaii. She captioned her post, “Ever snuggled a 400lbs dolphin?” Although it seemed innocent enough, many were quick to call out Mahomes in the comments. Users criticized her for participating in an activity where the dolphins are held captive, as many see this as animal cruelty.
It got so bad that it even gained the attention of the animal rights non-profit organization, PETA, who left a lengthy comment for Mahomes, per Daily Mail. They shared, “We know you love companion animals, but we hope to see you extend your compassion to marine life too.” PETA’s comment included information on why the activity is harmful to dolphins: “… Not to mention, many illnesses can be passed from dolphins to human visitors including viral, fungal and bacterial infections such as salmonella. These types of interactions are dangerous for them AND us.”
Comments criticizing Mahomes continued to flood the post, and it seems as though it may have gotten to be too much for Mahomes. According to The U.S. Sun, she deleted the photos of her family vacation, and more specifically the ones of her and her family swimming with the dolphins.
