Horrible dolphin video

[Gijs & Sabine]

A friend of mine send me this video of the brutal slaugther of dolphins in Japan. It's horrible to see No animal deserves this !!!!

So please take a look at this video and sign the petition. Maybe together we'll be able to stop these killings. Thousands of people already signed it.

Stop the dolphin and whale killings in Taiji Petition

I signed the petition, but I'm not watching the video. It makes me ashamed to be human why I see such barbarism!

[Snaky]

Signed, but I always wonder if these will help... They don't seem to care about the whales either, although there is quite some pressure on it from the world...

me too James ... I do not need to actually see it to feel it

I have watched the video and signed the petition.

It makes you feel ashame to be a human.

Like I always say....if anything on this planet should be called animals, it should be the humans.......

[Stefan-A]

I watched the video twice and I'm not signing that petition.

I also signed the petition, but I also respect the fact that Stefan has a mind of his own and thinks for himself. Too many people have a "follow the herd" mentality and don't think for themselves. I do, however, see differences between Finland's subsistance lifestyle and Japan's whaling "research." Alaskan natives also conduct annual whaling, but it's also a necessary part of their subsistance lifestyle. Their villiages wouldn't survive without the bounty from the sea... unlike Japanese villiages.

Anybody know what happened to the Japanese whaling ship (I mean scientific research vessel) that was ablaze in the Antarctic a couple of weeks ago?

Don't get me wrong, what I really object to, is the fact that they try to convince people by appealing to emotions. As far as I'm concerned, it's still a logical fallacy.

Then again, people often accuse me of not taking sides.

I'm not so much as against killing dolphins, don't think I ever ate it, but I've eaten quite a lot of animals that other people haven't and will never do (but that's another thread) .It's just the way it was done in the movie. I disliked 2 things in it:

1) the use of sonars is very effective, but kills whole families. It should be more random, because now you kill the diversity.

2) cutting down their throat and waiting till they sufficate ... Why letting an animal suffer more than needed? It's the same as the slaughterhouses used to be, but now they try to use effective techniques that are quick. This might even not work all the time, but still diminishes that chance that they suffer for a long period before they die. In my opinion they are slaughtered because we want something nice on our plates, but the animals should suffer as less as possible.
