Actually, it is no less graphic when a cow/chicken/pig is killed
for food. The only reason why this tends to create more sentiment
is because dolphins are considered cute and the media has potrayed
dolphin as a playful companion of man.
But personally, I feel dolphin fishing should stop because of the
dwindling dolphin population (I think it's mentioned in the clip).
The killing should stop less the dolphins become an endangered
(maybe they already are) or even an extinct species.
If ever cows or pigs become an endangered species, I would agree to
stop killing cows or pigs too.
Since we're talking about dolphin killing as well, I remember I've
read before in the past about how fisherman in Japan kill dolphins
not for meat. They kill the dolphins because they feel the dolphins
feed on the very fish the fishermen catch, hence leading the
fishermen to blame the dolphins for poor catches.
The fishermen in this case catch and kill the dolphins, but throw
the carcasses back to sea. It was never for the meat. I find that
is even more cruel, to kill not even for the meat.
The article I read was years ago, so they might have evolved into
what is now shown in the clip.
