That's just great.

Unreal. I cant imagine people wanting to eat an aware being like a Dolphin.

I didn't even watch any of the videos because I knew it would make me upset.

I hope mankind becomes enlightened before Gia decides she is tired of us and shakes us off.

Another degree of the monetary system corruption, if you all want to do something about it then may i suggest the real way of making change is to change the social structure we are in from a monetary 'self centered' system to one of equality and peace 'a resource based economy' the venus project seem like a possible alternative....

Try whatever else you can but that will only be temporary fixing a symptom not the root cause, the root cause is the social structure we are in we need to change our social environment, you will see behaviours change for the better when this happens..

Oneness
Wiri

I guess two nukes wasn't enough after all.

I hate to come across as hateful or inhumane; however, they don't seem to have a problem with demonstrating that exact behavior in graphic fashion.

I will say this, after watching 3 or 4 different videos of dolphins forming protective circles around a human to prevent them from becoming shark food, it is certainly nice to see some humans trying to return the favor.

I never cared for the Jap's much to beging with, what they did to the allied troops in WWII is enough to dislike the B######.
These animals mean nothing to them, just as our troops whom they tortured and experimented on meant nothing to them.

Then not to long ago, they had to gall to say they won the war WWII, it would have pleased me if there were nothing but water at that location now.

Their another one that thinks they are better than everyone else.

Hem ...

What are you talking about?

Listen folks, no one needs for the Japanese or humanity to be wiped out to solve a serious but not that complicated a problem.

It's one town that is doing this.

For god's sake, if we can't stop this horrible but relatively limited action what hope is there that we can solve any of the myriad of problems that plague our planet.

Just make it illegal and enforce it rigorously.

End of story ... sheesh.

I don't want to sound heartless, because i am not.

But if you are in any way opposed to the mass culling of dolphins, then you should never eat another hamburger or piece of steak in your life. Are you to tell me that cows cannot feel?

Yes humans are a parasite on the cow sucking up every little part, milk, meat, leather,bones, I don't know what they do with hair but must be something.
The main thing with those dolphins, is that they seem to be capable of thinking and will help a humans in distress, I have never heard of cow doing this.
But other than that I prefer my human well done, a stay away from sex organs and brain, just a quirk of mine.

If there were reports of cows saving humans from bears, then people might feel differently. Of if people played with cows and realized that they were sharing an intelligent moment in this world, then that hamburger might not seem as tasty.

I understand your argument, we eat pretty much everything so why the hypocrisy? I don't think it is as hypocritcal as you suggest. It's more cultural I suppose.

Dogs are smart, some of them are cute, some are ugly, we don't eat the ugly ones. In some cultures they do. In some cultures they don't eat cows.

In our culture a lot of people make a distinction with dolphins and whales, that they don't feel as strongly about in Japan. Then there's China, where they eat pretty much everything that lives.

There's nothing wrong with trying to draw a line. And people should not be mocked for TRYING to do so. Is it such a step in the wrong direction?

Exactly. Its about culture. We slaughter the cow, while in India they worship it. If the Japanese want to eat whale and dolphin meat, which is a part of their culture, then whats to stop them and not us?

I understand your argument though, dolphins are wonderful creatures and it really does hurt to see this.

I know this topic and the material in the OP can induce highly emotional responses. So I would like to add mine.

When I see things like the OP's links I often find myself wondering how much longer it will be until we see people that will actively take arms up against other humans in an effort to begin a defence of the planet and its other inhabitants that are incapable of surviving or defending themselves against the kind of senseless destruction the OP highlites.

When I see these things, and I find myself wondering how much longer it will be until we see people actively take up arms against other humans in an effort to begin a defence of the Planet and its other inhabitants that are incapable of surviving or defending themselves against the kind of senseless destruction the OP highlites, I also find myself thinking that I will be one of these people willing to defend our planet.

I wonder how many others there are that feel this way after looking at the OP?
People that are now out there thinking enough is enough.

With groups like Greenpeace and PETA, just two goups for example, that are generating large financial resources, members and support and that are increasingly engaging in more dangerous and confrontational activism in their efforts to promote change. Will we see them eventually splinter or evolve into some kind of ecological fundamentalists, whose approach to changing our beliefs, attitudes and habits towards mother nature will move beyond publicity stunts, covert documentaries and protests and into assasinations, kidnappings and execution or armed violent attacks on those responsible for "crimes against the planet'?

The Cove would be one hell of a recruitment video for such hypothetical groups.

UNCLE PLANET NEEDS YOU!

I'm predicting it won't be too long until we see people help the earth fight back. Literally that is, fight.

Unfortunately we are dealing with a VERY cruel race.
My Grandfather fought the Japanese in the war and he told me of their inhumane treatment of prisioners for fun or sport.

They love to kill, every year they hunt whales in the Southern Artic waters and Australian waters under the guise of research. Green peace and the Australian Navy chase them around filiming evidence of their captures and brutality. I hadn’t been aware of their cruelty to Dolphins and thank you for posting the thread.

So what can we do to stop the Japanese barbaric ways ? about the only thing is to hit them in the hip pocket. DONT BUY JAPANESE
