The arguments of the proponents of the continued slaughter of whales and dolphins are akin to saying that because humans are not endangered, and because we have been killing each other for millennia, we should respect cultures who continue the practice of genocide. How cold. How sad. How misinformed. Please read my blog at http://whaleanddolphintalk.blogspot.com/

While not killing animals is always good news, the fact that a documentary was shot makes me think the makers may have been a little too quick to judge. This is a cultural sport, but then again does that make it any better?

At a hundred grand or more a pop for each dolphin sold I don’t think this is a trend we will see end anytime soon. That being said I do have to tip my hat to Ric for his tireless activism on the issue. The man is one of my living heros…I put him right up there with Dave Foreman and Paul Watson.

I’m very thankful for the mass killing to have stopped for the dolphins, but I mean trapping them to sell to aquariums? That just killed their spirits.
Rip whales. I’m so sorry.
