Seriously, WTF Is Wrong With People

[2+2]

Dolphins are highly intelligent. I heard just the other day a piece on the radio about how they communicate with each other. Seems each one is given a unique sound by it's mother and uses that sound to identify itself throughout it's life. We use unique names, they use unique sounds.

I hate this kind of stuff. But is it any worse than men killing other men in a game of "my god is better than your god"? We must do better people.

People are evil.

pictures load fine now (unfortunately) (sigh). Nobody wants to see that first hand.

However the posters who are telling you that hunting for food is a necessity and is'nt pretty, make a real good point as well. Killing to survive has been done for thousands of years, and you just hope you're not at the bottom of the food chain.

Terrible sight though. Dolphins are really cool.

But since I do eat meat I'll just shut up now

So very sad.

There are "harvests" like that in Japan and parts of Indonesia as well. These people need to eat, that's true, but most whales and some dolphins are endangered. That means very little to them: dinner for the next year is all they see.

We are all in for a rude shock, and soon. I enjoy fish as much as most people, but as the factory ships destroy stocks and breeding areas for profit, I seem to enjoy fish less and less... Soon, there will be no breeding stocks left; these factory ships will scour the seas to the last one.

Maybe we can harvest something from that new island of plastic we built out in the Pacific!

[why?]

Eventually people will learn to create enough fish farms that stuff like that won't happen. But to assume it's just for the heck of it simply shows a complete lack of understanding anything but a modern day western uber liberal mindset.

OK - I understand IF it is for FOOD - however, you can't tell me in 2009 they can't come up with a more humane way to end a life.

That's bullshit and there is NO reason to make a living creature suffer. I feel the same way about cows, chicken, deer, pigs, etc. There is absolutely no reason to make anything feel pain when taking it's life. It's sick, disgusting and uncalled for.

There is nothing that has to do with being a 'liberal' about this - so that was a stupid comment to make.

There is everything to do with it. A bunch of people overreacting to something they don't understand because they refuse to think of anything except their own lifestyles and their own views. People make themselves look foolish and end up causing the deaths of others because they care about nothing but how it makes them feel, instead of trying to find the truth. It happens all the time, yet people never learn from it.

So, it's OK to make something suffer - as long as it's a 'cultural thing'?

Umm ... no.

dude.... about a billion times as many animals suffer(and for much longer than one day) every year in the US as in Denmark to support your lifestyle.

^^ there's some more reading for the knee-jerk reaction crowd.


I'm moving to Denmark someday. Not because of this or anything like it, but they have been proven to be the happiest people on earth. They live in a post consumerist society - almost every person living in Denmark can afford a car, but most people ride a bike to work.

Good job looking this up. Is truthorfiction.com a trustworthy site? I guess so or you wouldn't be linking to them. Assuming that the pics are not photoshopped, killing the whales is messy and probably very painful. Can't someone come up with a better way to kill animals? Er, oh yeah, being humane would cut profits not increase them.

There are times I think seriously about becoming a vegetarian <--- he says while slow cooking a slab of ribs Alton Brown style. I'm conflicted.

^^ i just googled it :P

Is it just me or did they tweak with color balances in the pictures? Everyone in the crowd wearing a red jacket pops out like 50x as much as other people.
