Horrible. I don't think I'm buying Japanese seafood ever, now (not that I did in the first place).

I dunno, is it any worse than killing other fish?

It's not a fish though.

Dolphins aren't fish.

Still animals. You guys only care about mammals, huh?

Re: Dolphins Still Being Slaughtered in Japan.

Not ALL mammals, dummy. Just dolphins.

Incredibly intelligent mammals, proven to be capable of expressing feelings.

Dolphins eat fish.

Okay, I guess that's kind of legit.

But fish also have nerve systems right? They can also feel pain?

I don't think so. Even if they did, their memories are so short they forget about the pain almost right after they experience it, if they experience it at all.

Fish feel pain, but do not have the capacity to comprehend it. They're fight-or-flight thoughtless machines.

I'll eat all the Japanese seafood I want, especially if it means the slaughter of more of those damn dolphins.

Re: Dolphins Still Being Slaughtered in Japan.

Fish can feel pain, but they wouldn't have the emotional reaction that you'd find in more sophisticated creatures. In short, there's physical damage and discomfort but no trauma on a little fish psyche.


Aside from that, dolphins are apex marine predators. Their removal from the food chain has a pronounced effect on the ecosystem they're a part of. They have much smaller breeding populations and their ability as a species to recover from being taken from their niche in large numbers is greatly reduced compared to most species of fish.

Earlier this year China managed to successfully wipe out the Yangtze River Dolphin, a species that had been around for longer than humans have been.

Dolphins are also known to be great actors.
