This is an OUTRAGE:
"Hunters are seen driving a spike into dolphins' flesh before ramming a wooden plug in the wound to stop the blood turning the sea RED.
They then DROWN the animals by tying their fins and pushing them underwater. "
This is so awful I couldn't believe it.
If you want to do something about this just take a minute to email or send a letter to the Japanese embassy. It's because of international pressure that they have now started hiding what they do, so it does make a difference! It's time this was stopped. :mad:

And how do you drown a dolphin?
Hold it under water.
But don't they sleep underwater?
Thanks for letting me know. I think I fixed it. Dolphins breath through their blowhole. They hold them down under the water.
I guess not very well when they've had metal spikes driven into them.
A) It's not a Link but an email address
I thought this knowledge was rudimentary!!
:eek:
This must be your sixth thread on this subject lol.:D
Do you eat meat suzzle?
Same way you would drown
Dolphin are air breathing mammals, like whales
Where you been?
A) You obviously missed the very first line then.
No it worked for me...
So assumed by the moronic comment about drowning they had clicked in the wrong link..
Fish sleep underwater but drown if they're dragged backwards.
You must have missed these as well then.
I can still live with my original post though!!
It was made by the Humane Society. Hope some of you will find it interesting.

Asphyxiation is by no means a nice way to die, but then is that not how we kill fish anyway? So how can we say it's inhumane to kill a dolphin by drowning it and yet not inhuman to do the same to fish?
As for killing dolphins, I always find it interesting how people have no problems killing cows, chickens in their thousands daily but do have problems killing whales and dolphins. Now those species that are endangered - sure, I see the point. But those that are not - what is the difference?
Usually the argument is that dolphins are intelligent, which for me brings up a number of issues. Is it any fairer to kill something because it has less intelligence? If I murder a 'genius' will I get more time in jail and be even more hated than if I were to murder someone with severe learning difficulties? Of course the strange thing about that is you'd probably be more hated murdering someone disabled than someone able bodied, yet at the same time some would argue it's better to kill cows because they're less intelligent.
It's a weird one and I don't have any answers because like a lot of people I'm the same - I find it hard to stomach some creatures being killed and others not, but I don't know why that is. I'll happily eat meat from cows, chickens, etc but eating something like Dolphin would put me right off...
Same. Really not at ALL bothered by this. Many more worries in my world.
I was thinking that.
Do people assume whales breathe water too?
Interestingly (vaguely), as a rule any fish with one set of gills is considered a "modern" fish and they can pump water through their gills to collect oxygen.
Fish with more than one set of gills (sharks etc) are considered "ancient" fish and they need to keep moving in order for water to flow through their gills and collect air.
I guess all the "ancient" fish out there probably struggle to sleep for long periods just as aquatic mammals do.
