Japan's Dolphin Hunters

[monsternoob]

ahhhh i seen this b4 it all sucks

It's a shame. Cetaceans are all such intelligent creatures. I've seen these videos before, there has to be a better way to harvest them.

Yes, but a group doesn't kill a ton of bears all at one time. There is a difference between regulated hunting and slaugtering.

It's considered commercial fishing... it's a business, so obviously you wouldn't go and catch one animal to sustain that...

I was using the bear example to divide "necessity" from "pleasure"... now don't go and say it's not "necessary" to kill dolphins... it's their way of life. that's as if one day the rest of the world say eating turkey is unethical and demand americans to stop eating turkey for thanksgiving.

i see no problem here,

The dolphins are used for the needs of the people and at the same time they should protect them from over-killing and abuse. The problem lies in the fact that many do not understand this balance and tend to over protect or under protect these animals.

I'd rather see this than sharks killed just for their fins. At least people are using a lot of the animal and not just killing for one part or for fun.

This is probably the part that the fishermen there can improve on. They should find ways of killing the dolphin as painlessly as they can. Other than that, the dolphins are not endangered and if we can eat slaughtered cow ,pork and other animals, then why cant other people eat their preferred meat ?

On the issue of methodology...a similar situation exists:

Many members of the IWC Scientific Committee recognize the importance of the research, and value highly their results. However, during the past several years, the IWC anti-whaling majority has repeatedly passed resolutions calling on Japan to reconsider the current research catch and insisting that research should be limited to non-lethal methods.

I think there is a difference between animals that are bred to be slaughtered and animals that are not ment to be slaughtered. Atleast in my mind.
