Sea of Blood as Japan Slaughters Thousands of Dolphins


Animals  (tags: japanese, horrendous, savage dolphin murder, massacre, worldwide outrage )

Despite the efforts of the Japanese authorities to keep it hidden, the massacre has been captured on film by a guerrilla documentary team led by the man who trained Flipper. Until now, the yearly slaughter of 2,000 dolphins in a small town in Japan

I agree with Gorilly Girl, name calling based on looks is not the right thing...it only breads hatred against a whole race of people. Not all Japanese kill dolphins or take part in the trade. Being of Native background I know how much my people suffered because the were Indians or Metis.
That being said, it turns my stomach to see this water turned red from their blood. I can't for the life of me understand how anyone could sit in that sea of blood and not have a broken heart. This slaughter needs to stop...poor dolphins.

Dandelion and Gorilly Girl, I agree with you. Racial attacks are not acceptable. What has the shape of the eyes got to do with anything? it's so irrelevant. Proof is (if proof was needed), there are many Japanese and other Asians who are totally against the slaughter of dolphins and fight it too.

Racial slurs have never helped in any issues. What is needed more than ever is - guess what - Unity!

Every time I see something like this it reinforces my opinion that humans are not the most intelligent creatures on this planet.

To think that people can do this is just disgusting.

Plutarch, c. a.d. 46-c. 120
“But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh we deprive a soul of the sun and light, and of that portion of life and time it had been born into the world to enjoy.”

T. Casey Brennan
"Poor animals! How jealously they guard their pathetic bodies ... that which to us is merely an evening's meal, but to them is life itself."

Dr Jane Goodall
“Thousands of people who say they ‘love’ animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been utterly deprived of everything that could make their lives worth living and who endured the awful suffering and the terror of the abattoirs.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson
”You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity.”

“If slaughterhouses had glass walls everyone would be vegetarian.”

Rev. Dr. Walter Walsh
"If those benevolent-minded people could but visualize the agonies connected with the breeding, raising, railing, shipping, deriving and slaughtering of the defenseless victims of human voracity they would abhor the bloody morsel they now pick so daintily from their dinner plates."

Prince Paul Troubletzkoy
"As I cannot kill, I cannot authorize others to kill. Do you see? If you're buying from a butcher you are authorizing him to kill helpless, dumb creatures who neither you or I could kill ourselves."
