Why Do Asians Have No Regard For Animal Life?

   That is what they have eaten for many years. Why should they stop eating this?
   Is it because the terrorist on the two ships say that they are wrong for this or is it because you do not agree with them?
   I do not know how old you are but if you are over 18 you have eaten dolphin without knowing it or realizing it if you have eaten tuna. Until a few years ago many companies did kill the dolphins and put them into the tuna fish in the cans.

   I think they need to come up with a better method of killing the animals if they’re going to continue with it. They seem to just stab the hulking animals to death – it’s almost as bad as how Western chefs boil lobsters alive – I’m sure they can come up with a more humane way of things; killing isn’t hard.
   To me, it has nothing to do with them being Asian. The fact is that whales do not reproduce quickly. They do have natural predators aside from humans too, so it is a big deal to bite chunks out of their populations, and no matter what, they are rather unique creatures. I don’t believe it’s necessary to eat animals that cannot be farmed – it’s more of an extravagant alternative in my opinion. Culture is already dying, a little less cetacean lard isn’t going to kill anyone. Not to mention – whales and dolphins save sailors; cows and chickens don’t.

   what makes cows and chickens any different from whales and dolphins? You could make an argument for relative intelligence but when accounting the intelligence of humans any argument about whales and dolphins being smart is rendered moot. The fact remains Japan still allows whaling as a viable industry and just because its unpopular and people in the west like whales doesn’t make Japan wrong or evil for killing them. How does it being sea life make any difference? Japan is a nation state comprised of islands and it stands to reason that fishing and the hunting of aquatic life would be there prime method of getting meat. They simply don’t have the land for factory farming like we do here (not to say factory farming is a good thing), and many people depend of whaling for their livelihood. I personally don’t support the activity but I’m not about to say the people of Japan should stop just because I want them to.

   Ever eaten a fish?
   I do understand your question. Now you see if you can understand the distinction humans create between species and sub-species of animals. So you were conditioned to accept cows and chickens as fodder, but you have a block around certain other animals being consumed.
   They were conditioned to accept certain foods and to reject others.
   It’s a psychological thing, a cultural indoctrination, and your failure to understand THAT bespeaks a greater truth about your lack of thought.

   It is cultural. The Japanese are a very proud culture. And they don’t like other cultures telling them what to do. Imagine if France (sorry French people, I don’t mean to pick on you, it is just an example) was trying to stop Americans from eating beef. Well, the French like beef more then us. So……….chicken? Or imagine if the French were trying to stop Americans watching car races. We would not stand for it. Is “blood dolphins” a series? Or what that episode last night the only one? I studied Japanese language, sensei said that whale and dolphin eating is generational. Most young Japanese think that it is gross. And they think we should not eat endangered species.
   Just to rant; I HATE fish! Nothing personal, I mean I hate eating them!! phucking ewwwwwwwwww……………Do you know what chefs do to make it good? The boil it in milk to “get rid of the fishiness”. Now, think about that. Fish only tastes good when it does not taste like fish. That proves that fish are gross. That is like saying papaya is only good when it does not taste like papaya. Fish are not as healthy as we are brainwashed to think. We should, as humanity, STOP depleting our oceans of fish. Only buy from small boats, or their canned product. We are running out of fish. Without that, the ocean’s ecosystem will fail. And Humans, Billions of them, will die.
   Whales and dolphins are endangered. That is what is important. We cannot eat endangered species. It is irresponsible. And the Sea Shepherds are NOT terrorists. Nor are they infective. You should study sun tzu before coming to that conclusion other people.

   Dude who cares it isn’t likely to stop. Cows are killed, chickens are killed, pigs are killed, whales, sharks and other animals are no different. It isn’t likely anything to happen soon anyways so why bother.

   Because they call them food! the country is so poor that they have to eat what they can.
