May 11, 2007 - instead of waiting until theyre extinct, why dont we act upon this matter right now? thats what i say

May 12, 2007 - It's true, dolphins are beautiful creatures. But I think it's so wrong that people get so up in arms about killing 'cute' animals like dolphins, or cats what makes a dolphin better than a frog,or a chicken, or a bug? How can activists always be self-righteous about how people think they're better than animals, and yet fail to see the value of ALL life? I don't understand the distinction. I think THAT is the real crime, myself.

May 13, 2007 - cows aren't going extinct.

ivana331 Says:

May 13, 2007 - that doesn't make it ok. this still needs to be stopped.

ivana331 Says:

May 13, 2007 - cows aren't going extinct, and the majority of the world is accepting of eating beef. Clearly there is only a small village killing Dolphins, which is not acceptable!! You cannot compare cows, chickens, and pigs(which are mass produced for the purpose of food) to Dolphins and Whales.

ivana331 Says:

May 13, 2007 - yeah if you want to get really sick from a protein deficiency. There are other meats to eat, Dolphins should not be slaughtered because they are "exotic food".

molecularist Says:

May 13, 2007 - I wholeheartedly agree. This whole thing is over-emotive simply because people love dolphins. Because they're "cute" and "pretty" and "fun". All slaughter of animals is "unnecessary", but we in the West seem to think we're "holier than thou" because we don't slaughter "cute" animals for food.

May 13, 2007 - The majority of Japanese people are partly responsible for the inhumane slaughter of whales and dolphins. Men in those images are not renegade 'fishermen' -- they are working under a law determined and upheld by the Prime Minister of Japan, a man who has the majority vote of the Japanese people. JAPAN, YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS CONDONE AND ENCOURAGE THESE INHUMANE PRACTICES. It's time for change Japan. Send a message to your politicians that the status quo is completely unacceptable.

comingto Says:

May 13, 2007 - BTW, sorry Japan for all the people who have commented saying 'bomb 'em again' and 'fuck the Japanese', but these are just not particularly well nuanced, reactionary and sometimes violent responses to the disgustingly inhumane shit that is going on over there. The world understands that you're an island and that fishing is your 'farming' but fuck, the whales are not yours to farm and you need to find a better way to kill a dolphin.

May 19, 2007 - Please don't blame all Japanese. Some fishermen do that. But I'm just an innocent girl from Yokohama..

WouldbeOriginal Says:

May 22, 2007 - Why are dolphins so important again?

WouldbeOriginal Says:

May 22, 2007 - Mammals are dying everywhere. Hell, look at Darfur. Don't act like this hasn't been going on. Nobody should be shocked that mammals are dying.

WouldbeOriginal Says:

May 22, 2007 - Killing animals doomed from birth is much better than killing animals with a chance to escape. Clearly.

crAZNimal Says:

May 22, 2007 - if you think this is slaughter!! don't eat meat!! be a vegetarian, cause this is part of the japanese diet for hundreds of years.Its same scenario when it comes to beef , chicken ,pork and every other fishes.We americans do the same thing,just that its not dolfins,its chicken,beef,and pork!!So if ur against this , DON"T EAT MEAT!!

jonjon1333 Says:

May 23, 2007 - no you can't blame the japanesse buddy! other nations around the world kill other animals like cows, deers, raindeers, wolves(americans),and many more.... and it is wrong to kill others... oh year and this is just a fraction of animal deaths and yeah polution is killing all the dolphins and what not...Cause: humans.

Tehkiddo Says:

Jun 7, 2007 - Not only are cows bred to be slaughtered for food, but they also die very quickly and painlessly. I'm not saying that this is necessarily right, but I am saying that it is far more humane than letting them lie in agony bleeding to death.

aled1975 Says:

Jun 8, 2007 - I am fast becoming racist and am not prepared to sit and wait until the Dolphins become extinct.Decisive action needs to be taken now to stop this once and for all.

bahnuts Says:

Jun 11, 2007 - What the hell has happened to us? How can they slaughter them like that? They are the the most docile, beautiful animals on the planet omg.

joy1023 Says:

Jun 15, 2007 - Its nice to see someone who is trying to stop this, or is trying to let the world know about it. They don'tknow how much PAIN they are going through! They have completely no hearts, or maybe they do - but they're cold and cruel.
