Animal Cruelty & Japan

[DANS_S4]

OK folks, please take note :- The link directly below this text is to a streaming file showing footage of Japanese 'fishermen' butchering dolphins in the most inhumane ways possible. This is not a joke or anything humorous.
I say again - THIS IS FOOTAGE OF ANIMAL CRUELTY. Please DO NOT CLICK THE LINK unless you have a strong stomach.

So, why post it? Well, the world need to see what savage practices still go on in a so-called advanced country. I wouldn't expect to see this behaviour in a third world country, let alone by someone as technologically advanced as the Japanese. I find it savage, brutal and completely unnecessary.

What can we do? Well, for a start, we can make our voices heard. I have signed the petition below and would ask that you please do the same. You do not need to view the above clip to understand what is happening, as it also happens to whales and other highly intelligent mammals that are unfortunate enough to be caught there.

The sooner this stops the better. I would like my kids growing up a world where these kind of practices are illegal as well as immoral.

FU Mukas if you don't care don't put your nose where it's not wanted. Killing off whales does impact on Australia. QLD Tourism's biggest draw card is the whales and the great barrier reef. So it hits the hip pocket of Australia never mind that it's a disgusting practice. I'm against Dugongs being skinned alive as well and that happens in Australia. Do you have an oppinion on that as well?

Lucky it's dolphins then isn't it. This thread is going to cause trouble clearly, so consider it closed.
