Watching this video really saddens me and watcher beware. If you can't handle bloody dolphins then I suggest you don't watch the clip. Nevertheless, it's instances like this that the famous documentary entitled "Earthlings" tries to raise awareness about. Earthlings is a documentary film that basically shows people the archaic and cruel methods used to kill the animals that humans eat. There are all sorts of processes including de-beaking, de-horning, and castrating that go on without any anesthetic. The film also shows a great deal of gore and bloody violence enacted towards several dolphins and seals. Its literally so sad...it will make you cry. Please watch it on Google Video, its titled "Earthlings". I own a copy on DVD, so I can show people what really goes on in slaughtering houses.
The claims made in this film about the fishermen who said the dolphins just got caught in the nets happen all the time. Maybe they were caught in the nets on purpose. People get around technicalities in the law all the time. These people should be punished for their crimes against another harmless sentient being. These creatures have done nothing, and yet we kill them. Where is the humanity in that?

2 COMMENTS, ADD YOURS HERE:
What gets me is this- People scream bloody murder over something like a dolphin or whale being killed, or a furry cute animal of one manner or another. But most people couldn't care less about the sharks that are killed, or the other "normal" fish. When was the last time we saw protests about something like rattle snakes being killed (or any other snake for that matter)? Why is it that there seems to be a certain classification of animal which it is not ok to kill and another classification we couldn't care less about?
Fellow Environmetalist:
Noryn Alam, my daughter is doing her science project research on greenhouse gas emisson. Attached is a small questionnaire to survey society based carbon footprint. If time permits, my daughter will greatly apreciate some response from global community. She is trying to create awareness in school and community. I think she has the right approach - starting awareness among the young generation.
Thank you for your attention and time.
Kind regards,
On behalf of Noryn Alam (8th grade student in middle school)

HOUSEHOLD GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS: CALCULATION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT
Conducted by: Noryn Alam, Liberty Middle School, Morganton, North Carolina, USA
Thank you for taking time to complete the questionnaire. I have used the guidelines EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) has developed to calculate households greenhouse gas emissions. This calculator provides an estimate of household greenhouse gas emissions resulting from household energy use and waste disposal.
You don’t have to write any personal information (or any comment) except the followings listed below. I will be presenting the information to the science fair judging committee. Thank you for taking time to complete the questionnaire. Here are some instructions to help you complete the questionnaire:
1. Allow yourself 10-15 minutes to enter the data.
2. To get the most accurate results, IF POSSIBLE gather your recent electric, gas, and/or oil bills (whichever is applicable) so you can use real numbers for your household’s energy consumption. If not possible make a reasonable estimate.
3. Indicate in local currency (example US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Taka, etc.)
4. COPY & PASTE ENTIRE QUESTIONNAIRE in reply email THEN enter the data
5. Email back to me for calculation at bakh13g@aol.com (my father’s address)
6. Your response to WASTE SECTION just answer YES or NO, please
