Japanese dolphin murderers. Please sign the petition.

[Steve Coppolo]

First a word of warning. Following the link will expose you to some very, very graphic and disturbing scenes of Dolphins being killed by Japanese commercial fishermen. I can't stress enough just how upsetting the scenes in the film are. I thought long and hard about posting the link on here, but this issue is too important to ignore and shouldn't be brushed under the carpet. These people do this terrible thing because it is their "historic right". This film really upset me, so please be warned before clicking on the link.

 

Even if you don't watch the film, please, please, please sign the petition.

 

 

Warning. Graphic images of Dolphin slaughter.

I watched it and it made me feel ill. It should be noted, though, that plenty of other mammals get killed the same way in slaughterhouses every day, even in the UK

Don't know if the japs have run out of tuna.

There's no excuse for such barbarism, no matter what the religion or culture, but the thing is they aren't even eating it. I read the other day that the mercury content is too high. They are doing it because they always have. It's a tradition, part of their culture, call it what you like. Most of the dolphins get turned into pet food or fertilizer. They also take some live ones to sell to marine parks.

 

There's a bit more reading here. Dolphin outrage.

They have to stun them in the UK before bleeding, I don't agree with it but it is a good few paces away from that disgusting slaughter. Dragging them up the road alive is beyond comprehension, it is mass murder of intelligent creatures in the most appalling way.

 

I have passed this petition on down the line and I am sure those concerned will sign.

No they don't.

 

I've just been reading the Halal Food Authority website, which says that they are trialling stunning methods - http://www.halalfoodauthority.co.uk/define.html - they also mention that Kosher slaughtering is done without stunning.

 

Anyway, that's besides the point - that dolphin slaughter, especially if they're not eating them, is unnecessarily barbaric I wasn't trying to detract from that, but was merely stating that animals are killed wholesale the world over, by various means.
