I still think cows are cool and its sad to kill them, they are so tasty though so its something that will be an on going conflict for me for the foreseeable future.
I was vegetarian (vegaquarium) for 5 years but I couldn't manage my diet well enough and not feel a bit crap and be productive. Then when my daughter came along I caved.
Killing dolphins feels wrong, so does killing any other animal for me. If it were just for the fins like they do with sharks then I would be more outraged.

Well, we get killed by our own kind and sharks. They don't farm because they don't have to, have no need to remove pollution because they probably don't produce any, and we have a real problem with many types of disease. So, yeeeeah. We're really comfy with our environment. :)

They're not endangered are they? Seals?
Can't say I'm too fused.

ahh, by 'master their own environment', do you mean 'have worked out how to feel comfortable in their own environment'? i mean, they still get killed by sharks and probably giant squid. they can't farm food, remove pollution and have a real problem with certain types of algae. they have yet to build a decent futon or 3 act play and they are less than stellar at astrophysics (although they may just be lazy). please don't confuse animal friendly 'truthiness' as fact.
- they have a larger cerebral cortex than us, so if those fuckers grow legs we should watch the fuck out I sayismith
- maybe, although they'd need arms & thumbs to carry a bigger gun or an axe as we'll all have one.airey
- dude, dolphins are so slippery and thick, they're bullet proof. all they need to do is bitchslap you with a flipperismith

Don't lie to yourselves. It is all about cuteness.
The cute the animal the less you want to eat it.
Ironically, the cuter the animal the more delicious it is.
- although, if the dodo tasted good we'd be farmin' it and it would still be around. cute can work with tasty.airey

Slappy, I think it has to do with perceived intelligence levels. We don't like killing anything that seems to look us in the eye, or interact, or express emotional states we can identify and empathise with. Anything that can generally be described as expressing human-like personality traits is considered too good to kill, whereas 'dumb' animals are okay to kill.

Dolphins are actually more intelligent than us. at least they have mastered their environment, if you want to see something that will blow your preconceptions away, watch this. its only 30min and its worth it

I was under the impression that they were not actually eating the dolphins... but if they are, as a carnivore, I am naturally obliged to side with the Japanese dolphin slammers– though perhaps under the hope of adopting a more efficient and humane method than mere bludgeoning...
- slappy0
Why is killing and eating a dolphin worse than killing and eating any other animal? Is it because it is unsustainable and unnecessary or becuase dolphins are cute and friendly?
Are dolphins lives worth more than a cows?
