Dolphin Killing in Denmark and Japan

Images of dolphins, dying slowly in their own blood, are everywhere on social media these days. Correction: not dying! Being murdered. Dolphins being murdered in Denmark and Japan. Would that be less inhumane if they were less cute? Was that a trick question?

I, for one, do not understand how a human being becomes a ‘man' by killing an animal who approaches to you to play. And you trick her by trapping her on shore with a hook. She cannot defend herself, she cannot escape and her family understands what is going on. Dolphins, as you know, are in self-aware. They care for their families, they communicate and they know that they are being murdered!

Some will say that “Oh, but you kill cows and chickens and you eat them, It is the same thing.” And I will say that you are insane. First of all, I do not kill anything or anyone. Yes, not even people like you! Second of all, I do not eat meat. I am a vegan cheating with occasional yogurt and cheese. Third of all, even if I ate meat which I did in the past, those cows were slaughtered in a slaughterhouse with proper steps. Not bluntly, inhumanely and just for fun. They served a purpose. 

Honestly, I do not see any holy purpose in killing anything or anyone let alone dolphins since their meat is not healthy and they are being killed slowly in their own blood. Killing them for the sake of being a rebel towards the western culture and for money, as in Japan, is still a murder in my eyes. I would also like to add that dolphins procreate slower than other types of animals so that is why I do not compare them to lets say catfish and chicken.  

Even though, I am known as an empthatic person to most, I cannot understand how this murder tradition can still be going on. I can understand that you might be lacking brains but where is your compassion, people?
