A rare giant squid is baited off the coast of Japan, and killed, so scientists could film a LIVE one!?

AND tell me why????? were the fishermen trying to capture a rare squid again?????? leave them alone!! poor thing died while it was being hauled in..........thanks, Gina for the post. hey, june, these posts are caught by all of us....i have submitted stories only to find them posted later on, by another friend...on newly submitted. i don't think folks intentionally overwrite your contributions to the cause, K? you're doing okay. just thought i'd throw that in while i was here. smile....it's a GREAT day!!!! :-)

This makes me sick! Here this squid is very rare and who knows how old and they kill it. Makes no sense to me.

Why do men kill everything they can find?? Leave life alone and in peace. We, as a species might find peace ourselves if we quit warring against all of the rest of life.

Geeez June. Don't have a freakin cow. People can't check thru the whole system to see if something has been submitted. The system is supposed to do that. A magnificent creature has been killed. Who cares about how many freakin note its you have?

Gina, thank you for pointing this out to me, cause I didn't know about it til you pointed it out, I guess that is the wonderful thing about Care2, the more things are pointed out to people the better it is to the animals!! I feel the same way Sandra W. does, ashamed to be a part of the human race!! God's creatures all deserve our love and respect!!
