Makes my blood boil.

It's a bit like Tesco in Asia selling endangered turtles in their stores. Once you pick out which on you want, they cut the shell open and literally peel the thing apart, when it's still alive. Since the shell contains the spine, it's a bit like you having your breast bone broken and then being pulled apart.

******* the lot of them.

[GrahamGarside]

Thats appaling.

I'm not vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination. But animals such as dolphons, elephants, primates etc.. which clearly demonstrate intelligent behaviour are another thing entirely.

[Digerati]

I see what you mean about it not being for the faint hearted. I thought I'd be able to handle that but had to switch it off at that particular bit

[Clunk]

Saw that on the news, dolphins bleeding to death on the back of a truck in the sun.

I think the news report was about Thomson holidays advertising some Dominican republic resort as a dolphin sanctuary and thats where they do this stuff.

Terrible.

I watched that video through.

I've been lucky enough to swim with Dolphins twice. At Discovery Cove in Florida. Although in captivity they might not be where they should, they're still marvelous creatures. That was truly barbaric.

I'm not ashamed to say I actually started crying at that video. It was ruthless, and unnecessary. I would personally go and slaughter every fisherman that does that, in the same way they killed those Dolphins. And I'm not an aggressive man by any stretch of the word.

I'm going to stop now, cos I'm in such a furious mood.

tottally agree with you m8, it nearly put me into tears.

its a real shame, i dont kno how them fisherman can do such a thing without feeling regret... just letting them slowly die is just ott for me! and being dragged still conscius across the concrete floor from a car is just obscene... really really bad

[kickstart 1]

Sorry cant watch the video, i cant get things like that out of my head if i do. Its not only dolphins that suffer, its mans inhumanity towards animals that gets me.A lot of animals are tortured or killed pointlessly, i just wish that i could do more to help them.
Er ..whats the link to the 'Star Wars petition got to do with it ????????

[htid]

Makes me feel sick even reading this thread...I'm vegetarian so it's just disgusting imo.

[SirusVirus]

This is truly disgusting and I didnt even watch the entire video, half way through was enough to make me wana sign that petition.

Sick things like this happen all over the world, not only to animals but to humans aswell, and it makes me wonder why and how people can do this kinda stuff.

[Nick Smith]

its how they can leave them on the floor writhing in agony that really gets me, and not even show the slightest bit of remorse about it.

just thinking about it now makes me feel ill.

[moogle]

makes me feel sad for the dolphins, and mad at those fishermen. that guy was cutting a live dolphins neck as it was on the floor. absolutely disgusting.

Weird, you lot seem to care a lot and think the fishermen are so mean (which I assume I agree with, since I haven't watched the video) yet I feel the same way about anyone who kills any animal (ie people who work in slaughter houses) or even insect for that matter. Wonder why you don't find it barbaric and wrong to kill normal animals...not having a go or anything, just curious as to why I care more.

i dont know how slaughterhouses are, but im pretty sure in europe the animals are killed humanely. watch the video and you'll see how they kill them. the guy guts a live one while it struggles and you see a gush of blood rush out. watch the video and you'll see. plus this is mass killing of the dolphins. sure in slaughterhouses they kill alot too but it isnt as barbaric. i dont support fox hunting too. any harm to animals is bad. insects are a different kind of species.
