Japan, still living partly in the 16th century. These fools would strip the earth bare if we let them.
"Noting that there are no scientific studies showing dolphins are responsible for falling fish stocks in the area, O'Barry cited overfishing as the probable cause."
There's no scientific study showing it's overfishing either if you read his quote carefully.
If they are so goldang frickin' bright how do we dumbarse humans catch so many of them? Yeah, I thought so!!!
Isn't this squeamishness about eating (mammalian) dolphins the reason that when dolphin fish appears on the menu, it is now called `mahi-mahi'? Just so Junior doesn't ask,
"Daddy, are we eating Flipper!!?"
Okay, all you PETA-wise folks check out the web site I found just today, you'll love it.

I stopped reading right here.
'widespread revulsion'?
Where are the stats to back that up?
In all fairness, harp seal pups taste much better.
Their brains are larger than humans, including you and me. They don't have the constrictions that gravity places on humans, i.e. the ability to carry your head upright on land.
I have been on this forum for a long time, and watched it deteriorate from a thoughtful place for conservative and humorous banter to a club for smarmy morons. You don't see my little brother, Buckhead, your hero, posting on here much either, do you, unless it has to do with himself?
Also, the enjoyment of sex for sex's sake was once thought to be exclusive to humans, and considered evidence of higher mentality, but alas, there is another species that has more fun than we do. Or, maybe dolphins are even more rapacious than humans and that should certainly earn the respect of the Japanese and forum members.
You are a pluperfect idiot. Mahi Mahi is not a mammal.
Praying Mantis love sex so much that when finished the female bites the head off the male.
Now that is a way to die.
Oooh, I like.
Looks like I've found what I'm getting myself for Christmas.
Heh
I'll qualify this post by noting I'm not familiar with this particular species of dolphin. But there are a couple of major differences between most dolphins and animals that we hunt, especially grass eaters like deer. For starters, dolphin are one hell of a lot more intelligent than deer, and most other animals too. For another, they have a really strong affinity for humans. The many stories about them saving folk who have fallen overboard, pushing them to a beach, etc. are true. For whatever reason, dolphin seem to just naturally like us humans. I can personally attest to the fact that if you are in a boat and get even remotely near a pod of dolphin, they will generally come right over to your location, within inches, jump and play around the boat, look you in the eye, and just generally say hello. Everyone I've ever met (and I'm sure most that I haven't met) that goes to sea loves dolphin and would find the idea of killing one repugnant.
The fact that "liberals" self righteously pretend to be lovers of creatures they probably never see in the wild nauseates me. But so does the wholesale slaughter of these beautiful creatures. Anyone who takes pleasure in it or finds it funny ought to ask themseves if they'd also take pleasure in or laugh at the slaughter of the other animal that love humans, the dog.
"Also, the enjoyment of sex for sex's sake was once thought to be exclusive to humans, and considered evidence of higher mentality, but alas, there is another species that has more fun than we do."
Well, fishes should have fun too.
Last time I checked, all species have commitment free (ya know, sex) and have managed to manage it for the betterment of the species.
Nevermind.
