Contradiction

"When a drunk shot and wounded him from a passing steamer the Penguin in 1904, the passengers almost lynched the man, and a law was passed to protect Jack. Jack reappeared two weeks later, but tales tell he never helped the Penguin again and it was reputedly wrecked later."

I spent a moment looking this up on Google, and found this link that contradicts the legend that Jack never "helped" the Penguin again. Neil916 (Talk) 05:41, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dolphin is an occupation

Pelorus Jack's occupation is dolphin. This is accepted by many editors, and a single editor (who, incidentally, had previously accepted this) should not overrule consensus. MaxHarmony (talk) 09:44, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dolphin is an aquatic Mammal. How can it be an occupation? An occupation refers to the job being performed, not the nature of existence itself. If you want to give an occupation, I would say call Pelorus Jack as a guide. Siddhesh (talk) 11:50, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
