As long as they ensure that the population of the animal isn't suffering major loss then what difference does it make? IT looks like they kill them by severing the spinal cord at the back of the head, which seems like a kinder method then suffocating them in nets.

@ Awesome Possum: You really think herding a bunch of dolphins to the shore with power boats constitues "traditional" methods? lol

I recently saw a documentary of orcas in South East Australia that had a symbiotic relationship with the humans of the area pre 1920's. Something about the rule of the tongue. The orcas would herd baleen whales into a bay and signal to the Aborigines that they had a whale to come and kill and the humans assist in the kill and would leave the whale over night for the orcas to eat the meat along the jaw line and then recover the rest the next day. These same orcas have been recorded as saving European immigrants when the whales would capsize their boats.

Take that as you may.

In the end, I would endorse the not killing of the dolphins and other sea creatures due to the fact that if you eat cow or pig you get worms sometimes, and the odd mad cow disease brain killing evilness, but out of fish these days you get the LOLamounts of mercury and pesticides and other weird chems that you usually get by eating veggies... but you won't see me crying foul at seeing sea animals getting slaughtered.

There are logical reasons to eat cows rather than dolphins:
1. Cows are easier to breed.

I will claim ignorance on the peoples necessity for the food and I did not say that it was done for sport. But hunting like this with the current populations trends and technology currently available, is not necessarily in the best interest of one of the peoples primary food source

So how much hunting have you done in your life and do you understand the negative potential of killing such large quantities of females of a population year ofter year? As far as those pictures look it does not look like they are thinking twice about the future viability of one of their primary food sources.

So once again I will say I could care less if they hunt and kill sea mammals I am just coming from the angle that conservation is necessary and those pictures do not look like conservative hunting.

The people in those countries are not starving, they can get their food from the supermarket, which comes from DOMESTICATED farm animals that are bred in large numbers. Using tradition is not an excuse. Especially in these scandanavian countries where the traditions of other peoples (e.g. muslims) are the subject of ridicule.

If they want to eat dolphin because of some antiquated tradition then they should do it the traditional way, on rafts instead of power boats.

Industrial farming feeds the world, hunting feeds the bloodlust of the savage few. As for health and tastiness, I am sure there are plenty of substitutes. If they are worried about vitamin deficiency there are pills for that.

So how much hunting have you done in your life and do you understand the negative potential of killing such large quantities of females of a population year ofter year? As far as those pictures look it does not look like they are thinking twice about the future viability of one of their primary food sources.

So once again I will say I could care less if they hunt and kill sea mammals I am just coming from the angle that conservation is necessary and those pictures do not look like conservative hunting.

I think they want to eat it because its tasty and healthy, thats why I eat whales anyway.

But you're saying, industrial farming = ok hunting = bad?

You're an idiot.

---

Industrial farming feeds the world, hunting feeds the bloodlust of the savage few. As for health and tastiness, I am sure there are plenty of substitutes. If they are worried about vitamin deficiency there are pills for that.

As long as they ensure that the population of the animal isn't suffering major loss then what difference does it make? IT looks like they kill them by severing the spinal cord at the back of the head, which seems like a kinder method then suffocating them in nets.

@ Awesome Possum: You really think herding a bunch of dolphins to the shore with power boats constitues "traditional" methods? lol

I don't think anyone in here is more interested in saving the whales than me, its my favourite meat and a life without whale meat is no life in my opinion, so save the whale so we can keep killing and eating them.

two words for you. Sea Shepherd.

I'm vegan and proud of it. the views expressed by the above are i think a sad reminder of how low humanity can stoop sometimes. whilst he does have a valid point about where meat comes from and self sufficency, i find the rest quite abhorent. its cringeworthy to see such an open example of pure selfishness and bad humour. do me a favour and clean your ears out with a whale harpoon.

So you don't mind that the industry that feeds you SLAUGHTERS millions of rodents and other small furry animal every year?

That it takes vast tracts of lands from animals who die out without its habitat? that it steals the water from huge chunks of land mass?

You're a killer, you just refrain from meeting your victim is all.

obviously you got an F minus in biology, plants don't have a central nervous system and also this is the usual one liner i have heard a million times when "debating" my diet with meat eaters, so i'm going to give you an F minus in unoriginality. come back with a better attempt next time.

oh please enlightened one, inform me of just how, as a vegan who opposes industrialized intensive farming how this is the case? i'd like to know what i've been doing wrong these last twenty years and if you can manage to string together a coherent sentence and offer me a rational argument as to WHY i'm wrong i'd love to hear it. you know absolutely nothing of my RL background and some of the cruelty to animals i've seen happen right in front of me. seeing live animals being torn limb from limb by dogs for "sport" aint pretty i can assure you, so dont even attempt to lecture me on that one. i am aware of the current situation regarding soya/palm production on rainforest land and do my upmost to avoid products that come from this region, i've never claimed to be perfect and acknowledge that sometimes things are less than ideal but ulitmately i refuse to support or endorse an industry whose main concern in MY opinion, is purely profit driven at the expense of animal welfare. its nice to see you maintain your usual dignified and clearly well thought out one liners, besides i prefer the term punk rocker if you wish to play the stereotype game, there aint nothing weedy and hippy about me my friend. since when did giving a **** about something become such a bad thing anyhow?

Researchers from Michigan State University have discovered that plants have a rudimentary nerve structure, which allows them to feel pain. According to the peer-reviewed journal Plant Physiology, plants are capable of identifying danger, signaling that danger to other plants and marshaling defenses against perceived threats. According to botanist Bill Williams of the Helvetica Institute, "plants not only seem to be aware and to feel pain, they can even communicate."

This is why I support suicide, abortion, death penalties, blood sports, and heavy funding for space exploration and colonization.

The world shouldn't hold more than 3-4 billion.
