Do people honestly think that this is somehow worse than what happens in factory farms to millions upon millions of chickens and pigs every single day? Do people realize pigs are one of the most intelligent animals of them all? Most of you probably don't even care where your meat comes from but you can't condemn this when you buy factory farmed meat. Oh yes, you might say "but they're killed humanely!" well the same argument applies here...not all Japanese would kill dolphins inhumanely, either.

Let us see how the Americans & Australians & Canadians abuse cows and horses in a rodeo just for fun.

Hypocrisy !

Hayden's sponsors kill animals in the name of animal testing. Hayden is also a charity ambassador for MacDonald. Japanese whaling industry does not pay Hayden a single penny, which is why she is upset and is trying to make money out of it.

There are many people working in the slaughterhouse all over the world. People in Taiji have been making livelihood with hunting whales and dolphins for more than 400 years. Many cultures in the world. Who has the right to deny other culture? Don`t you eat pig, cow and chicken? you think ,we are permitted to kill cow ,but you are not to kill dolphin. This is just completely hypocrite.

there must be a very fine line between dignity and dolphin murderers then!

"Japan is a nation of dignity," so when do you plan on showing the rest of the world your dignity. You may want to can the dignity bullshit story until all that suffered in your prison camps are gone. By the way, Fuck you....

These celebs are promoting animal welfare for wild creatures of our oceans...their message is simple and beneficial for the ecosystems who are being destroyed by commercial fishing and hunting...

Factory farming is a huge issue aswell, why bring that up against people who care?

The fact is...this is showing the kind of action society benefits from, people who want rights for animals and safety for species, you cant say "ohhhh what about meat"

Your only proving your stupidity...

[millylollies722]

I don't think the celebrities think of it as a photo op. I know it can all seem a bit "look at me, I'm a star who cares".

But I think it's good they can do something worthwhile with their fame.
