Honestly, who cares where or what country this PSA is "directed" at.

The main point is, dolphins are being slaughtered.

Whether it's in Japan or America, it's called ONE step at a time.

At least SOMETHING is being done.

This is the problem with people, we manipulate good progress and make it something about race. We are so self-centered and all we want to talk about is ourselves.

These innocent animals are declining in numbers at a rapid rate, and THAT'S what we should be focusing on.

肉も魚も食べなければ良い。我々はそれで生きていけるのだから。

The earth does not have the land where all human beings consume protein by plants.

@CountBezukhov look, I am vegan and therefore do not eat meat. All I was saying is that I understand why others do. But do it in the right way, not slaughtering dolphins. I am not the one you should be preaching at, if anything we carry the same beliefs about this. Anyways thanks for your comment and glad to see another vegetarian / vegan!

[CountBezukhov]

No, we do NOT need meat for protein; there is plenty of protein for our needs in the plants we eat. And there is no truly safe way to get protein from meat. Most meat in stores is the product of factory farms, where hormones and a variety of antimicrobials are given them to permit them to survive those conditions and to make them grow faster. Diseases communicable to humans are more likely to be found in meat, and the meat itself poses risks, both from saturated fats and animal protein molecules

[CountBezukhov]

There is ample evidence already, and more appearing constantly. The details, the mechanisms involved, are very complicated indeed. But the fact that we have no need—and, I would add, with less solid proof, no right—to butcher animals for meat, and eating meat does us, our children and our planet great harm.

[CountBezukhov]

@againsttwhatever - Well, I’ve devoted a considerable amount of time, both as part of my schooling—nutrition, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, chemistry—and on my own on the topic of nutrition, and, yes, meat is bad for you, plants—by and large, of course—are good for you.

@againsttwhatever

I find it funny to try to compare the life of an animal to the life of a plant. Animals have personalities and can offer us a whole new understanding on our world. Now I have said my piece and am not looking for an online battle. You're right food without understanding is bad for you, which is why I do a great deal of research with my own food. Dolphin meat will harm you, it contains mercury. Thank you for your argument,

[againsttwhatever]

@delloliod it is not only animal consumption that is harmful; rather i would suggest it is ANY consumption - of ANY kind; plant or animal or chemical - without research, without discretion, without moderation, without understanding, without questioning - leads to bodily harm. it is naive and only repeating cookie cutter dogma to say that "meat {dolphin/whale} is bad and vegetables are ok". the world, body, society is a little more complicated than that.....

[againsttwhatever]

@delloliod 1) Cow/beef is not necessarily a "safe " manner to obtain protien as it can be laced with hormones, antibiotics, and vegetables/legumes are also not "safe" always; as they can be laced with chemicals and pesticides

2) a vegetable or plant or flower or bean can also be beautiful- but they can also be fried, boiled, roasted , digested and pooped out much like dolphin meat. plants can ALSO be harmful, they can produce harmful toxins - alcohol, nictione, THC, opioids, etc......

@delloliod

Plants are creatures, too. They have life, too. The vegetables cultivated area that human beings plow takes the place where creatures live in.  All human beings take the life of creatures.

It is arrogant that you think vegetarianism to be right. Are cattle farmers and fishermen inhuman people?Human beings must not forget to live in the survival with other creatures.
