Watching stuff like this makes you want to join Green Peace. I can't believe this stuff actually goes on in the world . It's heart breaking.

Northern Japanese traditionally eat sea mammals...
Still not as bad as seal hunting for fur coats, though!

Well, listen Elmer, I am no vegetarian, but it seems to me that whether or not you have a problem with the methods used in commercial slaughterhouses, brutally butchering animals that are highly intelligent, evolved and sentient is not the same thing. I think most would have the same problem butchering primates. Its just a little too close to butchering humans. But you are to a certain extent correct. It has an element of hypocrisy to be revolted by the butchery of dophins and then scarf down a t-bone that comes from a cow that has lived a life of misery and torture on a factory farm.elmer3290 said:
cow raised for meat are do not life lives of missery... a food animal that is mistreated or raised in a bad fashion is not good for consumption.. and the farmer that practices this will soon be out of business.. the rules and regulations imposed on them are strict and the penalties are severe... there will always be some that will bend rules and break them..these are the ones that need to be found out and stopped... the case shown on the video is horrorifying... there are brutal goings on everywhere around the world.... i am ashamed of people like this...
I agree with you 100% Elmer.elmer3290 said:
Reminds me of my buddy's GF who was in tears when she saw this show of Inuits
hunting seals for food. An hour later, all of us were yamming down 24oz New York
Steak! Yummm
Call me cruel for not really caring about animals, but if you cry about videos like this
then head to fridge for some leftover Pepperoni Pizza, then you're just a big fat
Hypocrite.
I myself choose not to eat meat... its a personal preference. I am not against the killing of animals for food(well maybe a little). But what pisses me off is the way the animals are treated when being killed for meat. The way those dolphines were treated was inhumane and just downright fucking cruel. I couldnt watch all that... half way through I started crying because its just so sad. Studies have shown that dolphines are almost smarter then humanes...
Six (6) pieces of raw whale in Japan costs 3000 yen. Tastes like a fish. Can't wait 'til America starts eating Bambi.

I tend to follow the same eating habits.jazzy_doll said:
Personally I don't know to many religious ppl who follow these diets closely.
Over the years people tend to bend the rules more and more until there are none. Reminds me of a book I read back in grade 7 "Animal Farm". You give ppl a list of rules/commandments to live by only problem is those rules tend to be removed or changed as time goes on. Very much like our society, everything is being accepted. Theirs very lil you can’t do now a days.
But I won't get into that. I'm done ranting on here
.
I can't watch that video.
I don't have to, I know what's there.
The Japanese are the world's worst when it comes to hunting whales and other marine life. They use the excuse of hunting in the name of "research". That blows my mind. The shear hipocrisy of it all.
The only way to get to the Japanese to is to stop buying their cars, their exports and send them a message that you were going to buy that new honda, but, as a result of their hunting whales, you have switched your purchase to X.
What kills me about it is how whales and Dolphins don't harm humans, in fact, they have been known to save human lives and this is how we repay them.
As to farm animals, I am having more and more bad feelings about eating beef and especially pork. Pigs are also very intelligent animals and they know when they are going to be killed and fight to the end. Don't ever kid yourself, we live in a very violent and cruel world. That nice piece of pork roast was a living breathing pig not that long ago. I have cut the consumption of pork down in my diet to almost nothing and beef as well. I tend to eat chicken and fish and yes, they are animals too I know.

the only thing i don't feel guilty about eating is shrimp.
and I eat alot of it. And whales eat 100,000,000,000 times more shrimp than I do. They literally eat 100,000,000,000 shrimp in one mouthful.
But everything else. I consciously try not to eat. Like lamb, chicken, pork, cow. Its really hard. But I'm always trying. For example, instead of hamburger. I eat soyburgers or imitation meat.
I don't feel bad about eating fish either. I mean, they fight to go upstream to lay their eggs and then they simply die. They're high enough on the food chain. I mean, they have a max of 3 second memory. They forget in 3 seconds.
But when you're talking about whales - that sing and communicate and live in pods (family of whales) possessing considerable brain size. And they're playful and all. And they even communicate and you can tell they're happy. Well, thats where I draw the line.
I know pigs are as smart as dogs. They wag their tails too. So yeah, I wouldn't eat a dog either. I know dogs have feelings.
Fish on the other hand, don't have feelings.

The funny thing about Japanese, their big on Kyoto and environmental issues but when it come to marine life, they're ruthless killers.
Those Veggie burgerrs are pretty good. Licks veggies burgers are awesome, you'd never know the difference. Harvey's is pretty good to. But as far as veggies dogsDash said:
. I haven't tasted a good veggie dog yet. The canned ones are the worse :-(.I cannot tell you how sickened I was after watching those poor dolphins suffer so painfully. I'm sure that they could have been brought down in a more humane way.
I cannot believe that some people lack the ability to empathize with another animal. As a Japanese Canadian, I am ashamed and disgusted by the actions of my countrymen.
I hope that this video forces similar outrage in Japan and brings about changes.
