Liberals shame!!! You defend abortion, but dare use the word human to describe dolphins. Get serious!!!!!
-
Wow you poor people here just don't get it do you, shame shame.

I am deeply grateful that the BBC is circulating this information and video footage. Having the blessing of face to face contact with cetaceans I AM DETERMINED to expose the inhumanity of Taiji… THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW … and indeed there is a difference between domestic livestock and mammals that have the capacity to use sonar. As a biologist … I acknowledge that there is hypocrisy … why is an ant, a rat, or a cockroach, less worthy of life than a human???? … But the reason for the hypocrisy in my life is that I have experienced the connection with dolphins.

What is the difference between dolphin killing for meat and cow killing for a hamburger? It's true that this video is disgusting, but wouldn't you feel the same if you see a video of cow killing?

Gosh, this Melissa Sehgal is Sea Shepherd, eco-terrorists! BBC must be careful not to be used by their propaganda machine! Eating, hunting, etc., is cultural issues, and one must respect others' culture. Look at more acute issues on humanrights and lives in Tibet -- far more urgent and important issue!
-
I'd like to taste dolphin some time.
-
Japanese. They have no shame, scruples.
-
The Nanjing Massacre, crime of Japan army unit 731, and so on. Now even dolpin? Japanese are enjoying the slaughter.
-
I hate dolphin killing.
-
It's true - to these folks dolphin meat is like beef of pork to us. The only difference is we don't make cows jump thru hoops or get pigs to balance beach-balls on their nose before we slaughter them.
-
Nagasaki didn't teach them a lesson
-
I want anyone who condemns killing dorphyns.
My question is why killing pig and cow is OK, but dorphyns No.
Cool and reasonable answer is eagerly expected.
Anti-humnism???
If killing dorphyns is anti-human, killing cows and pigs is logically also anti-human.
You should stop eating cows or beefs everyday. -
I do not eat dolphins or whales, but Is there difference between killing stupid animals( or livestock) and killing intelligent animals?
We can kill animals just because they are stupid?
We can't kill animals just because they are intelligent?
It makes no sense at all.
How dare you put yourselves in that position as moral judges?
Have you visited or seen a slaughterhouse? I recommend visiting there. -
I recommended documentary The Cove (2009)

Asians are the nastiest people on earth. They will eat anything form chickens feet to dirt. What do you expect
-
Chinks are filthy fuckers, the lot of them. They throw cats and dogs into boiling hot water watch them burn to death then take their fur off and then prep them for the markets. They evidently (as this shows) kill Dolphins and Whales brutally. Chinks are a disgusting race and I would love to see chinks get the same treatment as they give to the animals they kill. Just wanted a rant, thats all. :)

Okay guys just tell me a difference between you and japaneese, WHOLE FUCKING history of their Country is to do fishing and it all of the fish. WHOLE FUCKING history of your country is probably to eat some beef, pork and fish also. When do you kill the Cow( HOLY ANIMAL IN INDIA) nobody from india wont tell you(some idiots will) that u are soulless. and u are talkin about DOLPHINS.

US troops in Japan, stop these monsters! Without force, Japs would not yield to any condemnation!
-
Between this and long line fishing, I fookin hate these acts and have little respect for oriental nations these days. I pray one day to get the option to join a group that allows me to Molotov the shit out of these 'fisherman'. Goddamn, nothing in my military past makes me feel better than thinking of bleeding these poachers.
Japan, want to keep draining radioactive material in the water and shark fin soup promoting (and now dolphin)...hope I get a chance at you peoples.
