I don�t think that the Japanese eat dolphin meat. I have heard that they like to have shark fin soup as it is a delicacy there.

If it tastes really good then why not?
Every animal is killed cruelly so you can't really use that as a reason to go 'no! they're just too cute and i just saw how cruelly they kill them'
Say that to all the chickens and cows

The tricky thing is...theres really no FAST way to kill large sea animals like dolphins and whales without destroying all the meat. With chickens, you can just break the neck of chop off the head and it'll be dead. Dolphins and whales usually end up struggling for a long time, ultimately drowning in their own blood as opposed to the inflicted wound killing them.

They also can't be raised like common livestock are solely for food purposes. Before, when it was just the natives an fishermen hunting dolphin and whale, it wasn't as big of an impact to endanger the species' numbers. Now with commercial fishing, a greater number are being killed...COMBINED with the fact that human pollution already screwed over their habitats.

So yes, I would say there's a difference between the way chickens and cows are killed compared to dolphins.

The reason why we shouldn't eat dolphins and whales are because THEY ARE DYING OUT.
Gosh, not because 'Ouuu they're so cute'.

Urgh.

Yeah, I would. If it's tasty, then why the hell not? Unless I get some crazy disease orsomething...

I did a current event report on dolphin hunting in Japan.
It's really sad, but you should always respect different cultures everywhere.
Though, I do believe there is a limit to hunting b/c they could become extinct T.T
I've never ate dolphin meat, and I don't think I will ever eat it. x__x

Some of the replies in this thread are pissing me off.

"Omg they're so cute! Poor dolphins!!!!

"
"They're nice and friendly!!"
"I LERRRVE dolphins! No!"

I mean, farm animals can be nice and friendly and cute. Are they respected the same way as dolphins? No. I understand if people are saying they were going extinct and their numbers are dying down, but really the shallow replies in this thread are just...

;; I bet you people wouldn't think that if some cow or chicken was on your plate. Would you think poor chicken, poor cow, they're so innocent when you eat that? No. Unless you're vegetarian or something, alrighty then. I'm a proud meat eater and I want to try dolphin meat but at least I know about what could possibly happen to the animal before I eat it. Not because they're cute. Watch some slaughterhouse videos and I would say farm animals have gone through the same level of cruelty as dolphins.

This thread was made to sympathize 'poor dolphins'. They're just like any other animal on this planet. However extinction is another thing.

EVERYONE ON SOOMPI IS DOING IT SO I'M GONNA DO IT TOO
