Same with the clubbing of seals thing. Been going on for a LONG time and I just do not see it coming to an end. The problem is not a matter of what WE perceive as right and wrong so much as it is a cultural difference. The Japanese hunt whales because, in their culture, it is very lucrative and very much in demand. It is a part of their way of life. You cannot slap an international ban on it and expect them to honor it. You would have to change an ancient culture with thousands of years of tradition and belief and bans don't do that. Same with the eskimos. It is part of their culture to kill animals. Sometimes VERY cruely.
When we see things like whaling or seal hunting, we are shocked. It is not part of what we are yet, when we eat a steak, we see nothing wrong with it. That cow was alive once. Granted, we may have a more "humane" form of execution but it is killing nonetheless. I, for one, don't really care HOW it got there, only that it is there and this mentality is no different than a Japanese consumer looking for a whale steak, if there is such a thing?
I guess we will never be able to accept certain things in this world and I am not asking ANYONE here to condone bashing a baby seal in the head but I am merely pointing out that it is not perceived in the same we perceive it. I could not do it but, then again, I do not eat sushi either.

We watch "Whale Wars" a TV show about the volunteers trying to stop the Japanese whalers. It's just so sad when you see the whale on their hook. They are "doing research" my ass! If you were doing research, wouldn't you be weighing the animal, taking measurements, etc.? Bunch of LIARS because they know what they are doing is WRONG, but they are trying to justify it. Really pisses me off. But at least they aren't getting nearly as many as they used to be. At least that is a start.

On the other hand I'm glad that it was posted because it brings awareness to the fact that such evil barbarianism goes on in the world and with enough outcry, enough voices we may in future just have enough power to do away with this cruelty.
I know the Japanese whalers are under so much threat now that they are not getting anywhere near the 'quota' that they are legally allowed to kill. It's just terrible and cruel. I have no idea how someone can gain pleasure from wearing fur, let alone fur that was ruthelessly ripped off a tortured baby.

I can still see the blood on the ice and the mommy seals barking and crying in my head. This kind of thing makes me sick to my stomach. I just don't know how anyone could do something like that! It's one thing to kill because you need to eat and feed your family and use every part of the animal, but this is not that. |
