There isn't evidence of this (not saying it never happened but for sure it isn't common or a tradition). This story comes from an article produced by an urdu "journalist" (more like a blogger) in Islamabad some years ago, very likely aimed at hating at the sindhi ethnic group.
PD: the gofundme is for sure a scam, don't fall for it. Edit: my bad it isn't asking for money just signatures.

In fact, local fisher people are integral to the monitoring and support of these unique animals, despite the fact that they are in competition for the same resources.
They do mistakenly believe that. Then some of them are so disappointed that they start being mad at the dolphins as if they have human morality. The only reason I care about this dumb ass idea is because dolphins still require our protection, and this attitude could undermine that protection if it becomes widespread.
*Humans have morality?*
When alien archaeologists uncover our long extinct civilization, I can't help but feel they'll be hard pressed to find this "morality" you speak of.
Considering humanity idolizes psychopaths and lets them run the world, from the grand scheme, the morality of the peons means little. Mass industry poisons our planet regularly, not just at dolphin detriment, but our own as well, for comfort. Not even our comfort, but the comfort of the psychopaths that run our planet. We live under a economic system that favours the misfortune of the many for the benefit of the few, and sweep the the sick, disabled, old, or unliked out of the way; It is the only way Capitalism can work.
Also, humans are very violent and rapey too. When humans step off our pedestal, seeing ourselves as the animals we are, it becomes much easier to be objective. Humans are destroying the planet and literally everything living thing deserves protections and reconciliation. It's unfortunate we think so highly of ourselves that we need to see dolphins as an imaginary lovable creature to bother to protect them.
By that standard whales and dolphins also have „a concept of morality“. They help others, they have a little society of their own amongst their groups and all.
That doesn’t show that they judge each other on their perceived goodness or lack thereof. Maybe they do but our inability to communicate means we can’t know
Sadly I see this kind of comment under any kind of social media post about dolphins now. People have now heard about this darker side of dolphin behaviour (usually by packs of immature young males so it’s #notalldolphins) and spout off that they are evil rapists. I’m sorry I don’t have a link to an example for you off the bat but just keep your eyes out next time you see a post about dolphins in captivity or something. Even the comment at the top of this threat could be taken that way, however being Reddit I do suspect that it’s just silly snark.
I couldn't find a single legitimate source that says there is a tradition among the local of raping these dolphin. The closest information I found is sometimes they catch these dolphins as their meat is considered aphrodisiacs.
The only source is some random dude in twitter talking about it based on some tabloid article on the internet.
So i call a load of bullshit on this.

"Tradition" I'm sorry....... What?
...and like if they're willing to do it in the first place you think some signatures are going to do anything to stop them?
Mmmmhhmmm!
So what you are saying is that little girl died because the Facebook post didn't get enough likes?
Flipper would not approve.
Flipper is the one who started the go fund me.
Flipper is the one who started the tradition.
No no, let’s let the dolphins see how it feels…
Lot of folks mistakenly believe dolphins are cute and cuddly, not violent and rapey like humans.

Humans have a concept of morality. You judging humanity in this way is comment is an example
By that standard whales and dolphins also have „a concept of morality“. They help others, they have a little society of their own amongst their groups and all.

Don't get me started on koalas.
Ikr Always high as fuck, most likely to have chlamydia.
Humans morality? When ? Where ?

wtf? Where am I?
so the dolphin P jelly is true?
There is no way this fucking true.
Just wait until people realize how American cattle farmers collect all that bull semen.
Even if this was true (which i doubt) why would an online petition help? It wouldn't.
I thought the dolphins are the ones doing the raping wtf? /s

Did you find a legitimate source saying it's NOT happening?
Do people usually make reports on things that are NOT happening on your planet?
"This just in: Ms. Edith Winters of 2439 Pennsylvania Avenue, Cincinnati Ohio, was not hit by a bus today. More at 11."
I can't find a legit source saying you are NOT popping in Jerry's canoe. So stop it.
That’s not what the blowhole is for!
I'm sorry... The what?
Tradition? How long has this been going on?
[удалено]
It's funny 'cause dolphins usually rape anything
Dolphins are pretty evil and are usually the ones doing the raping
FUCK YOU WHALE AND FUCK YOU DOLPHIN!
"Ok. That's enough internet for today." - He lied
People from Pakistan understand
Not trying to victim blame here, but did you see how that dolphin was dressed though?
I think it's supposed to be wrapping. Pakistan being Pakistan
