Japanese dolphin slaughter

[Pipe_Dream]

We had company in town this past weekend, so I didn't go online at all, and didn't see your posts. BTW, we took said company out on the PD and floated for an hour watching dolphin play and hunt all around our boat. I kept coming back in my mind to these videos and just couldn't get over the contrast.

Yes, we do slaughter cows, pigs, chickens, etc. We hunt deer, too, and catch fish. All to put food on the table, which is what the Japanese fishermen say they are doing. And while I don't like the idea of killing and eating dolphin, I can't say that they don't have the right to do so.

But, do we corral cows and calfs, corner them and repeatedly stab them letting them run around and bleed to death? And would anyone argue to me that cows are as intelligent as dolphin? As much as I hate to join up with any environmental group (I think many of them are nuts), I'd gladly step up and do something if I thought it would stop this dolphin slaughter.
