What do you think?

Question

It's my belief that killing and eating an animal that is intelligent enough to have self-awareness and the ability to empathise with other mammals of other species, and that especially treats humans with empathy and kindness, is unethical - if ethics have any meaning to you at all as a determinant of proper behavior toward other sentient beings. It's in a way the ultimate betrayel of the trust placed in us by a cooperative species. -Roy Niles

I couldn't have said it any better myself. What this is in regards to is the senseless slaughter of dolphins what the Japanese call "the Dolphin Drive" there is a petition that you can sign at www.actfordolphins.org their goal is a million signatures to present to the government of Japan. If you would sign it, that would be great. If not? well I tried anyways.
Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, though I eat beef, Porpoises may be more intelligent than we are.

They have mastered their environment... we haven't. If a baby Dolphin is attacked by a shark they all out swim the shark and ram him ... sometimes at close to 60 MPH.

I agree with you completely. They are defiantly the other sentient beings on this Earth ... and we may discover more ... protect them.

PS But there is another 'fish' called a dolphin, which has a very blunt nose, and weighs about 5 to 7 pounds, and they are Delicious.

Answer 2

I think you've pointed out a whale' of a problem, but the Japanese, at least during World War II, are not known for showing compassion for the defenseless. Americans, with their dolphin tuna, haven't really learned that lesson either.

Answer 3
