Flipper and the Lucifer effect

I was laying, unable to move on the floor as Flipper the dolphin for approximately
2 hours during a masquerade. I had talked to a friend to pour water on me at
regular intervals during the performance, so that I (the dolphin) wouldn´t dry out.

During the performance, people and my friends took pictures of when they stood
with one foot on me, like when a hunter is posing beside a big prey he/she have
brought down. They also poured alcohol and pretended to fart down the toilet roll
I was breathing through.

The expression "the Lucifer effect", is taken from Philip G Zimbardo´s book
the Lucifer effect: Understanding how good people turn evil, and is about the
connections between Abu Ghraib and the Stanford Prison Experiment.
