Dolphins + Japanese = GRIM SHIT w/ video

[PAND]

God, i so wouldn't wanna be a dolphin in Japanese waters...

Is this how Hiroki Nakamura captures elk? Rounds them up and and slices their necks open? Or better still, just skins them alive, leaving them to stagger around skinless!

Can anyone tell me if the word "humane" is in the jp dictionary?

arigato!

[fndmybetterhalf]

ugh...makes me wanna puke

[ghostdeini]

how is this any different from the beef industry? it's just a way of life for them, it's not like there's a booming demand for dolphin in the rest of the world. also, isn't pollution a greater threat to the oceans than hunting dolphins? I understand the consequences of overfishing, but a lot of countries can take the blame for that...

[cultpop 0217]

that is fucked.

[will_i_am]

i honestly think thats the first time i've seen

a person kill an animal.

without a gun, anyway

fucking crazy.

[Bandwagonesque]

Not that I eat dolphins, but when it comes to where my food comes from, ignorance is bliss. After that video hap posted last month, I dunno if I can bring myself to eat lamb anymore.

Ugh, I just watched it. Too disturbing for words. I'm having a salad for dinner tonight...

[onemancult]

you know, some people believe dolphins are closely related to humans.

eh. maybe a jewphin

"Male apes mount the female only from behind during copulation. The most frequent position during copulating humans is face to face. The only position of copulation for dolphins is face to face. Dolphins, like humans, have sex even when they are not in heat which is unusual in the animal kingdom"

I really like dolphins..

[swisloc]

as mentioned above, this is a very slippery slope. cattle (as mentioned above), for instance, as i'm sure many of you know, are killed with a bolt gun, which basically is exactly what it sounds like (a gun that shoots a bolt through the front of their skull from inches away). certainly not saying "if you eat beef, you should eat dolphin", but a little thought into where you food comes from is essential in being a conscious environmentalist.

read The Ominvore's Dilemma, and then see what you are willing to eat.

I heard dolphins are the only other animals that do the nasty for non-reproductive purposes. But that's what I heard. I also heard that Waldo Geraldo Faldo from family matters died.

this is not true. our closest genetically related species, the Bonobo (very similar to the chimpanzee, and the second member of the chimpanzee genus) are widely documented to have sex for pleasure, and are the only documented species to have oral sex and tongue kissing as well as homosexual sex (both genders). interesting, huh?

i have no information on Waldo Faldo.

[onemancult]

there is a key difference between bonobos and dolphins that makes dolphins seem more human-like then those horny fucking primates, and that is that while the bonobos are definitely noted to have sex for pleasure, the primary motive in many couplings seems to be regulating social standing within bonobo society. homosexual relations show dominance, and heterosexual coupling that isn't for mating is typically indicative of a power struggle.

dolphins fuck for fun, but it hasn't yet been shown whether or not it the behaviors have some sort of significance beyond fucking for fun.

well, biologists disagree on the last point, but yes, you're right. although, in this case i'd tend side with genetics in saying who is more "human-like." if we share 99% of our dna with said species and some biologist consider calling our species Pan sapiens rather than Homo sapiens it seems like a pretty close relationship.

but whatever, i should be reading to superfuture, not biologists, right?

[mswill_i_am]

that was the most fucking disgusting thing i have ever watched in my life...i only got halfway through before i closed the window cause i felt my stomach heave.

i'm not saying its different from beef like what ghost said but i guess its just because they're seen as happy little animals...makes me really sick & sad. =[

[junglejane]

wait, but I thought that 'Superfuture' was right up there with 'Science' and 'Nature'.

[ghostdeini]

superfuture is a notch above Highlights for Children

p.s. you have a weak stomach... clearly you have not been desensitized to gore/horrific violence by frequenting rotten, ogrish, and nowthatsfuckedup (before it switched over) in your adolescence

[__3xL]

Whoever is speaking about compare that shit with our food consumption is a dumb fuck .

for one cattle and most the other shit we eat in the USA is RAISED and BRED to BE FOOD . Also cattle are pretty much worthless and they stink and are dumb . Pigs too . chickens as well .

Dolphins being killed in asian places ( oh and I believe new zealand ) is plain murder . They are NOT raised by anyone they are in their natural environment minding their fucking business and being slaughtered like nothing . They are actually very intelligent and quite cool and I didnt even watch the video but have seen some before and Im no softy but the shit made me wanna cry honestly .

stupid ass government who allows and/or condones this stupid ass people who eat the shit ..

[Aeros]

This thread makes me sick (and not because of the video).

amen. thats what i was thinking but too lazy to type.

cause he was busy doing things like going outside and having fun?

[mwrenchd]

Yeah that was pretty fucked. But let's not kid ourselves. If there was a broader demand for dolphin meat and it was easy to farm, agribusiness would be all over that shit and we'd be talking about the awesome dolphin steaks grilled in our backyards last weekend. This is absolutely no different than the beef industry, it's just less industrialized. So let's not get all orientalist and yell about how fucked up the Japanese are.

[TragicBliss]

The Japanese are gangsters of the sea. They don't give a fuck about you. They will eat your fucking dolphins, your whales, your children. They care not.

And personally, I don't see how this is any different than eating beef, chicken, pork, or whatever animal you like to chew. Animals are animals, if there's a sustainable population, then go ahead, eat whatever you want, just don't wipe it off the face of the earth. Fuck, I'd eat another person just to see what it tasted like. No problem. Either go vegetarian, or eat it all, I say. Just because you had a dolphin backpack in the third grade doesn't mean that shit doesn't taste good.

The Japanese have been doing this forever. There's a huge debate within their own country about it, go check it out. They get hated on.

It's pointless to fight it though. We all know sea creatures are devious beasts with huge tits that must be dealt with, as this woodblock print clearly illustrates.

[onemancult]

that is a nice rack. the second dude wearing a beanie,

pulling the flesh off of the titwhale's tail, has chinky eyes.

how prescient.

[Vitamian]

The Asians--especially the Chinese--certainly do not care about animal rights or any semblance of humanity for animals.

They will beat dogs to death and then eat them. Indeed when Beijing was ordaining that dogs should not be raised due to rabies or something scares, police-type groups were going around beating people's pet dogs to death.

[TragicBliss]

Oh I also gotta point out that:

1. Horsemeat is probably good as fuck, but Americans are too puss to endulge.

2. Dolphins LOVE rape.

The French are fond of horsemeat.

I have had dog meat and it is quite good. I've also had cat meat and it was not as good, but ultimately palatable.

see thats the point. the japanese are widely known to be guilty of overfishing. they fish all they want and dont do anything to attempt to increase the number of dolphins in the sea. they are particularly bad towards whales. they may not be the only culprits, but the japanese have certainly done their part in bringing certain whale species closer to extinction.

yes, chickens, pigs and cows get slaughtered all the time, but as has been mentioned previously farmers are also constantly breeding and raising more of them so there is never a danger of extinction.

voices of reason. whoever pointed out that dolphins are wild animals and they are not bred specifically for food... what about the rest of the fishing industry? or hunting deer for that matter? I'd like to see the probability of getting a clean headshot on those things. as if the way chickens are farmed is even any more humane... pfffttt.
