The reality of illegal fishing

Warning: Do not view the actual video content if images of dolphins going to slaughter will offend you. The video struck a chord after I viewed it reminding me of why animals will go extinct at our own hands.

    Well that was awful. I guess I won’t be eating any dolphin burgers any time soon.

    In Ecuador they eat Guinea Pigs, but then again they don’t trap and slaughter them in this horrible way. So long and thanks for all the fish.

    it’s not illegal sadly although japan is under pretty heavy scrutiny for allowing it to go down every year… it’s sad though I totally agree… I personally hate PETA (I have my reasons) but watching something like this def. instills a clear and present need for a group such as PETA (without all the BS and by BS I mean funding terrorist groups) to watch over and push for better regulation of these types of activities.

    I am never going to eat another dolphin again.

    Now seriously, that was awful, those people need shooting. Or, howsabout we slit their throats and leave them kicking on the ground?

    Wow. Just wow.

    The harsh reality.

    I’m a fairly tough person and can usually take a lot, but I had to stop a little over half way through.

    I think these people should be put through the same exact things that these dolphins are going through and see if they continue to do it.

    Wow … I can’t believe they leave the animals to die like that. That is disgusting and .. wow. Thanks for the post Derek this has changed my thinking of a few things on how Japan works. I can’t believe they will allow something like this.

    Did you hear about the city in Japan that is serving Whale meat in Elementary School? Just aweful.

    I wouldn’t necessarily carry any disdain for Japan in general. It’s their culture and far from some of the realities that any country might hide in their closets. The one thing that made me cringe a little was how the kills were made in plain view as children walked by.

    Zzzzz…..
    sheeps where are you grazing tonight???

    I think our biggest problems is that we hide this from children. If you want to enjoy a hot dog, or fish stick, you should know what had to happen in order to get those. I’m continually surprised by the ignorance en masse which thinks that animals magically appear on your dinner plate. And none of this is crewel or inhumane. It’s life. We come into this world, and unless we’re very very lucky, we will all go out in a world of pain. And then bacteria, insects, fungus and molds will eat us. If you eat meat, something had to die to put that there, and death, is never pleasant.
    Oh, and don’t frown on Japan. Hindu holds the cow as sacred, and where I come from we slaughter them wholesale here. We have bumper stickers claiming pride in it.

    Everything from the title of this post down down to the ‘facts’ in the video is stupid. The only thing that does ring true is the catagory it is posted in. Stupid.

    oh. yeah, while I remember. Dolphins aren’t fish. They are mammals. Further more they are whales and whales aren’t fished they are hunted and in some instances slaughtered like any other cattle, which is what is depicted in the video.

    Get your facts straight.

  • Kei

    innocent people are being slaughtered in worse ways than this every day. so seeing some dolphins being killed for food, isn’t really one of my top priorities for “concerns about the world”
