The Cove 2009

I just watched the most heartbreaking film in a long time..
Before watching this, I had no idea dolphin slaughter was THIS bad!
I fucking cried when they were playing the slaughter footage.
Im bringing this up here in case many of you are unaware just as I was. And I know there was a post about this, but a fair bit back. I want us all to have an intellectual discussion on what we can do. And not just spread the truth, the truth is out there already. I mean REALLY DO something!

I saw this film or a film like it where it showed asian people farming dolphins.
This issue in the movie I watched was not only the killing of dolphins but the fact that they would sell the meat under another fishes name.
Honestly I dont give a shit about dolphins being killed. Who cares? Its the same thing as a cow being killed for beef.
We are the dominant species. Lets eat.

Yes, the mercury poisoning is pretty horrible. But so is the dolphin slaughter. And no, dolphins are not like cows, or chickens. In the history of human kind, has a chicken or a cow EVER saved a human life? (Not from starvation). Dolphins are intellectual creatures. Thus they need to be protected. They have a great consciousness.

Dolphins are more intelligent than humans. They have telepathic powers and shit.
Chickens are......welll..... just stupid ass chickens.

thats a pretty arbitrary line to draw, pigs, dogs and cats have saved human lives, does that mean we shouldn't eat pigs, dogs or cats? i think not

They arent differnt in my oppinion. They feel just as much pain as any other animal.
And yes I have eaten dog meat. In South Korea. It was good.

why am i not being intellectual? i was just saying its a bit arbitrary to say one animal is ok to eat and another is not due to an intelligence difference we perceive,
i believe thats a fair point,

Speaking of Taiji, we learned today that the tsunami came there too. The fishing boats and molesters’ boats took to sea to ride out the wave. No thought was given though to the dolphins trapped in the pens in the harbor. Six times the water receded and returned, but did not flood the town. Six times, the captive dolphins were smashed against rocks and screamed in agony. At least 24 of the dolphins perished. Any farmer would release livestock when confronted with a fire. The souls of the dolphin molesters are without light.

Im sure they feel the pain just as much. But imagine this:
You have 2 chickens. A hen and a rooster. They have babies. You kill their babies in front of them. No response. How I know this? My grandparents used to run a farm. Such animals do not have intellect. They only look out for their own safety, their own survival
THIS is what separates chickens from dolphins. And dogs. Fuck cats, Ive never seen a cat do shit for a human.

So they have feelings for their young. What do you propose then? We stop eating dolphins?
I understand why you would be concerned but the truth is its just survival. The human race needs to eat. There are billions of people and alot of them are starving. If dolphins create another source of food then thats a good thing in my eyes.

Are you really that retarded?? They are killing people too with it!
Dolphin meat contains 20x the maximum amount of mercury thats healthy for you.
Do you know what mercury poisoning is?
I suggest you look it up and how that affects peoples brains.
