**Warning – watch at your own risk
I get quite upset when I see this but it is a part (albeit small) of the Japanese culture and their diet. However, I feel that this inhumane and barbaric activity must be stopped for good. The inhumane slaughtering of dolphins and whales in Japan showed very little consideration on Japan’s part to preserve these animals and our environment – it will not be long before they go extinct. And even if they do not, regulations and methods of killing the animal for consumption should be regulated in a very strict manner. Who the fuck eat dolphins anyway? These genteel and intelligent creatures do not deserve to be treated like this – they are not categorized as fish, morons.
To stop this we must act by boycotting whale and dolphin meat and products. Their hides are also used to make leather jackets, belts, wallets and bags. So Stop buying and eating them and the demand for these animals will stop.
Watch this gruesome but honest video for your own good. Because the truth is ugly when it comes to matters like these. Turning away does not make this inhumane killings go away.
Yeah, I know this is not exactly a food post but it is related to the things Japanese people eat. I am not jumping on my moral high horse here at all – I eat meat too. But the question here is not whether I should “turn vegetarian or shut the hell up”, the question here is whether it’s necessary to eat whales and dolphins?
IS IT NECESSARY?
Frankly, letting the dolphins flap around in convulsions after cutting their throats is most barbaric and inhumane – grossly lacking in compassion and respect for living things. After watching that video, and crying my eyes out, I just want to take my machete and cut those fishermen’s throats – let them flap around gasping for air like the dolphins while I laughed at them. What? Am I the cold blooded one now? $%#!$!$#$!!*&^%$-ers.

Is it necessary to kill cows or chickens? There are some videos of the cow and chicken farms in America on youtube that are just as disturbing as this one. The animals aren’t exacly killed humanely.

Ah… but while there shouldn’t be a difference, there is. Why? Because we’ve been eating cows and chickens for so long, we no longer think about it; to us, their staples in our diet, ordinary (well, not if you’re a vegetarian). That, and they’re domesticated, which basically means that they’re raised to feed us in some way or another. Dolphins though…. well, they’re wild animals and eating dolphins… and I guess it’s exotic and even weird to some? Chickens and cows are considered MUDANE while dolphins…. I guess are special?

Honestly, yes its a bit cruel to american’s and to those that normally don’t eat certain Meats that killing and eating Dolphins are cruel, barbaric, inhumane etc. But the truth still lies that it is not Illegal or wrong for a certain part of the world to eat certain animals. For examples there are asian countries that eat dogs, cats and even horses. Although me personally i don’t like the idea of such meats but it is not my place to judge how people of that country live their lives.
