Me too!

Now, how cool would it be if I could say that I had "Windsurfed with Wolves!"

What an amazing t shirt THAT would be !!

I am reliably informed that dolphins are very well ... erm endowed, so not sure a wetsuit would be sufficient to protect your virtue!!

I am green with jealousy ... how cool to be able to say I have been jabbed in the ribs by a dolphin and he put his jaws around my arm and swam holding on to me!

i had to suck it up hard to manage to open the link after reading your thread header. i was quite relieved that i didnt have to see what i dreaded, as its not a too bad photo of a dolphin pleading or squirming or being abused or suchlike. do we know the 2 chaps in the photo didnt release the dolphin

hahaa well I'd buy it!!

No i doubt very much they released him, they were two Taiji fishermen, they dont do releases. Theres been a huge campaign going on twitter to inform the world about the horrors happening there, lots of Activists from Sea Shepherd and other organisations are out there, taking the pics, video footage and trying to disrupt the boats.

.

No I didnt find it horrendous. I found it unpleasant and its not something I enjoyed watching, however as I said IMO there is far worse treatment to animals for food than what I saw there.

But not in Japanese waters?

But thats YOUR opinion, it isnt that way for other people and its unfair of you to label them in a similar fashion just because you dont agree with them. Its like me calling you a complete toss pot and a stupid old cow for not liking fox-hunting. Not nice is it? (Of course I dont mean that either just an example,)

OOPS! I donated.

Will look when I have time, thanks.

But you see you find this dreadful. Im afraid I dont. I find it unpleasant, and in all honesty unnecessary. I dont see it as barbaric. If they were hacking them to death, chopping bits off and leaving them to bleed to death for hours on end, I would have very different views. But, although its not nice to watch, its relatively quick. (Very quick according to some stuff I read earlier, seconds.) The thrashing about is just nerves etc. reacting. This is the same for all of us, man or beast after death.

You can keep posting links if you want to, but you have not provided me with anything other than the same thing over and over again and implying that I am a vile person just because I dont agree with your feelings on the subject. Remember what I said about ramming it down peoples throats wont win support? Thats exactly what you are doing.

not quite sure what you mean by this tbh ...But Dolphins and Whales are transient animals, if species are classed as endangered...They Are endangered, full stop!

lol and you would never label anyone, cold or sick or whatever would you

Im sure it wont bother you.

ok

Scientists believe dolphins deserve rights same as humans.

i wasnt ramming anything down your throat, you joined the thread & asked me questions, ive tried to answer, backing them up with scientific studies etc...I dont know what type of person you are, you come across as someone who doesnt feel empathy for wild animals, so no youre not my cup of tea and you havent exactly been nice to me in the past have you

Perhaps I could have some printed saying:

"Want to Windsurf with Wolves!"

Great alliteration innit!!

or "Wild to Windsurf with Wolves!"

or "Willing to Windsurf with Wolves! Any offers?!!"

But there is NO law protecting them, yes? Nothing these people are doing is illegal, is it?

Yes I did in this case as you well know, I meant it too. However it was not because of the fact they do not agree with my feelings (as you dont and name call because of it ) it was because they can stand there and watch what they claim is horrific, through the lens of a camera and record it while its going on. Maybe the Fox would not have "escaped" if that woman wasnt there? But hey, we would have had some video of it, right??

Correct, it didnt.


Lol! Monkeys should go out to work, Dogs should draw a pension when they have worked for 6yrs. Classic!!!

You havent though, you have showed the same thing over and over. Nothing new and I have told you how I feel about it. I will say it again. I dont "like" it, I find it "unpleasant" but I have seen worse cruelty in other systems of killing and slaughter for food. I dont hold grudges either.

Hmmmm .... not sure its very nice to take the mick out of someone who might contribute to the view that dolphins deserve the same rights as us humans, Dawn!!

Especially bearing in mind this Nice New Dogsey It's not my place to criticise, but I would hate us to go back to the bad old days

Im sorry is that "scientist" here then? Ive been called worse, and I am here! Plus of course, I dont recall "taking the mick" I did however find the comment somewhat amusing. Im wondering if Rats should have the same "rights" too? Or Pigs maybe, considered incredibly intelligent!
