No more, Stop mass killing in Ocean.

japanese are cruel and ruthless, they gather dolphins then slice them up, what did the dolphins do to deserve that.

exactly 1 year after this video, tsunami and nuclear disaster. Nobody's going to eat their tuna now.

@openblue07 I'm just saying that if every species of whale does go extinct it would be bad, i doubt a situation like that would occur in our lifetime. I never said everything else would die, just that life is the only thing keeping our planets weather in check and if the food chain gets thrown off hard enough it will eventually effect us. Plus earth has been showing some odd bouts of weather and weather related incidents in the past years. Who knows, maybe global warming is real after all.

@starshock01 Actually i think you will find hardly any of the extinct animals were made extinct by humans. 98 percent of everything that has lived had died before humans evolved. It would be sad if whales were extinct but dont go claiming everything else will die if the whales do, there will always be life.

@openblue07 I could understand if they wanted to eat SOME, but have you ever done research into ALL of the whales and dolphins they harvest? have you ever watched dolphin cove? im just saying that one society turns a blind eye to the affairs of another so they dont have social friction, and out of the 90 percent of things extinct many of them owe humanity to blame for that

@nissanlover I'm not defending eating beef, pigs, chickens but its easier to raise them, try and raise whales and dolphins in masses.

@Tihamah we eat cows...they fuck with dolphins...double edge sword

[openblue07]

@starshock01 I dont think the Japanese want to make whales extinct they just want to eat some of them. Some whale species have a large enough population to eat some of them.

Why would we be next after whales anyway? Over 90 percent of everything that has ever lived is now extinct there will be life until the sun dies out

[starshock01]

@openblue07 he was headed in their direct path of movement, yet had more then enough distance to stop or change but didnt and the Japanese pilot had enough distance to change course yet didnt, regardless of who did what the fact everyone turns a blind eye to this is proof no one cares about whales going extinct, which is sad since life is the only thing regulating this planets environment and once that is gone we're next...

@starshock01 They crashed his boat? I thought both sides were found to be responsible for that incident, where they not?
