STOP the killing of dolphins in Taiji, Japan

Japanese fishermen in Taiji, Japan, massacre over 1000 dolphins a year. It's absolutely horrible, I can't even put it into words. It's one of the most sad and upsetting things I've seen in my life.

Please spread this info as much as you can, so more people know.


WARNING! THE VIDEO IS REALLY REALLY GRAPHIC!!! DO NOT WATCH IF YOU YOU CAN'T STAND BLOOD AND STUFF.

Here are some websites that are fighting back to help stop the slaughter of the dolphins and whales in Japan. It contains much more information than my post here.

Some of the pictures on the website are also really graphic and have a lot of blood.

Please get this information around so that more people know and that the killing of dolphins can finally stop.

You know...                   (if you don't want the tl;dr version skip to the end)

We MASSACRE cows wholesale. We raise them, feed them, milk some of them, breed them, and house them, all so that at the end of the day we can kill them and eat them.

And I'm fine with that, because cow meat happens to taste damn good. But my point is, why exactly should we care about the dolphins when we do nearly the same thing to cows?

The only reason people make such a big hoopla about dolphin killing is because it's not 'socially acceptable' to eat them. I swear, if more people ate dolphin, nobody would give a fuck how many shock pictures were posted online.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying we should just go kill all the dolphins out there. Driving any animal, regardless of what we do with it, to extinction is a pretty big no-no.


But seriously. Nobody cares about your fucking dolphin killing shock pictures.
