Dolphins, like for instance whales, elephants, the great apes are "self aware" creatures. This means that when they are herded and slaughtered every individual in the group knows what’s happening. Killing a creature like that in the way that it is done is nothing short of murder.

Besides, it’s not sustainable from a conservation perspective in the long run, unless they start "farming" these intelligent creatures O/
Yup, I agree.
You can't really compare farming sheep to hunting whales/dolphins.

Apparently the main motivation of Japan's Cetacean hunting is to "show a finger" to the West.
