Overfishing dolphins and whales

it is horrible to kill dolphins and whales because there is a limited supply, so to speak. whales especially are endangered. pigs and cows are farm raised to be eaten, and are easy to breed. sharks are also ki11ed and eaten too, but are not thought of as cute dolphins and whales.

its sad; ignorance does not rid us of our dependence on earth, the problem is not the meat or food itself- its over consumption, which will inevitably lead to depletion; leading to our own decline

G.lad, you do have a point there. It does have to be said that dolphins are not afraid of humans, perhaps that is their downfall sometimes. They are usually very interested in people and have quite often saved humans from shark attacks etc..

As to the doner kebab, I've never eaten one in this country so don't know. In Greece they are wonderful, all pork or sometimes lamb.

GOW, without falling out, if dolphins were nearly as intelligent as humans, how come they keep getting caught in boats fishing nets? with their sonar, they should be able to hear the boat engines for miles,

Most other wild mammals birds and fish that I know of leg it at the sight or sound of man or other creature higher up the food chain,

It's only because dolphins look like they are smiling at us when they surface, that some of us would think it immoral to eat them, (like eating friendly cats dogs and horses), but it is deemed ok for us to eat burgers mincemeat and steaks, because on entering a field, cows don't make a fuss of us

Even though I know I could survive without meat, I still eat it, but I often wonder what is in this donor kebab meat, is it all lamb?

Yes but probably nowhere near as intelligent as dolphins! Dolphins may be almost as intelligent as humans.

How about answering the other two questions?

Pigs are intelligent GOW and we eat them don"t we?

Well, icanlol, I've explained why I think it's wrong to eat dolphin; do you disagree about their intelligence?

How would you like it if cannibals removed your family from your home and ate them?

Would you say it was no worse than if they had eaten a cow or a sheep?

OK, everyone who has been hating on me is either a holier than thou vegan or a hypocrite. I say that I have no problem with farmed animals, so farmed zebra is fine by my morals. Wild caught fish is seen as ok by most people despite dwindling fish stocks. Why is dolphin seen as particularly wrong when compared to cod?

Also to people who say how would I like to be ki11ed for meat, farmed animals would not exist if it wasn't for humans to eat them and if they are not caged all their life I'd say that a life with a sharp ending is better than dying slowly and painfully, or even worse no life at all. I buy free range meat and eggs because I care about the animal. I do not care what particular species that animal is however, although logic dictates that what is readily available (cow, sheep and pig) is the best choice.

TL:DR If you eat fish and are grossly opposed to others eating dolphin, you are very hypocritical.

Whats so great about dolphins? they just go around eating perfectly good tuna and cod.

Hunting dolphins is bad. Because Allah made everything to live and enjoy its life. It's a good Idea to stop killing dolphins .It's a bad Idea to kill dolphins and destroy its environment. I think ending this problem is the best solution.

Firstly dolphins are very important because they are in danger,some fisher men catch whales and dolphins while they catch tuna fish.secondly some people catch dolphins purposely for there blubber, fat and meat.fishing dolphins is disguisting.i love dolphins.

We're having dolphin soup tomorrow, laced with sharks' fins. sprinkled with ground coral.

A veritable sea feast
