When rescued, the dolphin was stabbed in the back with a spear.

On June 28, Mr. Bui Van Dam (in Ta An Khuong commune, Dam Doi district, Ca Mau province) said that he and some people had successfully rescued a dolphin on the Ganh Hao river. During the rescue, a spear was found on the back of the dolphin. After removing the spear and treating the wound, the people released the dolphin to swim towards the sea.
