Torgrim User ID: 1424917 Norway 11/11/2011 07:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To be honest, standing up for the right for certain type of animal is type of racism or animalism. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 938673 You all eat animal protein. No animals wants to die. Why stand up only for dolphins and whales? Where is the right for other animals like chicken and etc?? Let's face it, we live as barbarians. Even if you are vegetarian, you might have an iphone which was built in a factory in China by a Chinese mother who has to feed their kids and is really poor. This reality is barbaric and is about taking others life for your own. 1 agree it is kind of hypocritical to just stand up for certain types of animal. What upsets many, is the way humans kill whales and dolphins. The killing is very slow. The animal suffer for hours, before it finaly, exhaustiated, collapses into death. Most chicken and cows suffer their whole life, from birth to death. That don't upset humans as much. The humans of China are being used as slaves to produce goods to make other humans and reptiles feel rich. The production is destroying planet Earth, but 99% are fine with that. The cruelty the chinese are experiencing from other humans, they pass along to animals and Earth. 1 don't think human are fully aware on how their behaviour alter other life.

But do people care about them? No. We choose to care about the poor animals instead. Like the sick people in the silly organization PETA. In fact, South Park made a hilarious parody about PETA. Haven't laughed so hard in my life. |

You think every japanese eat whales and dolphins??? This isn't about YOU and I am glad there isn't name calling and shit. Stick to the subject, that's how threads go all over the place on here. ok, what is the difference between eating beef and a whale? Nothing. This thread is not about Japan or anywhere else, this thread is about Faroe Islands' practice with the dolphins. So what. If they are eating the dolphins, then I say have at it. As long as they are not leaving it to rot then great. Dolphins are probably highly nutritious. |

Unfortunately, we can only DO one thing at a time, because we only have one pair of hands. This does not mean, however, we all have to DO all the same thing, we can spread ourselves out, far and wide and cover it all.

Dolphins are intelligent, fast, powerful creatures that are far from helpless. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1515928 Further, she says: "Never, ever, killing an other creature, another living being, with whom we share this world, has done any good, to anyone. So let's stop it."

It is only with the recent advances in technology that we are able to have the tremendous amount of food variety and distribution that we have today. Again, it is the way they are killed. In fact, it is the way anything is killed in such a fashion. In this day and age, barbaric methods of kill should not even be needed anymore. There really is no place in this world for cruelty, whether it be to people OR animals. Humans are supposed to be spiritual beings, this is what sets us apart from the animal kingdom, therefore, perhaps we should start acting in a more spiritual manner.
