They think Dolphins are yummy


I still haven't gotten over the news that about hundreds of Dolphins are getting killed in Japan almost everyday for the purpose of making them a part of their delicious delicacy. (read it at www.savejapandolphins.org).
Then now here's another shocking news:
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/regions/03/03/09/bfar-dynamite-fishing-may-have-killed-two-rescued-dolphins
and it happened right here in my country. Not to mention previous repor
ts about dolphins and whales getting stranded in provinces like Quezon and some heartless fishermen killed, chopped and sold them in public markets. The killing of these mammals is already a horror thing. Eating them is unforgivable. Are these humans that ravenous to eat dolphins? To be honest, I think it's already improper to call them "humans." The word "savage beasts" is more appropriate.

Well, I am not making a general statement here. There are still few good people remaining...

And how I hope these good people will be cloned or copied or anything that would increase their number.

Very appalling because for 20 years I have believed that the wild beasts are only roaming in jungles and that humans should be scared of those places. The forests hold dangers too which most of it are still unknown to men. Even the ocean deeps are said to be perilous to our lives for it holds some mystery- sea monsters and huge creatures perceived to be threats to human lives. The ocean itself is feared for countless lives it has already taken. How many stories have I heard and seen...how many of them have convinced me to stay in the city or any place that is open and where there are many humans who can always offer rescue and other forms of help.

But with all the "bad news" going on and when I say "bad news" it is not limited to the killing of these mammals, it also pertains to other gruesome stories such as a massacre of a family, child-abuse, rape and more - makes me think that being in the city is a lot more dangerous than being in a forest or a jungle. Even living under the sea (If I happen to be a mermaid) sounds promising.

I have some theories as to why these things are happening:
- They are not really humans. They are demons in disguise.

If they happen to be "real humans"
- Their brains have been fried as effect of global warming
- Instant noodles and canned goods make their brain smaller and the MSG hardens the heart that's why they can't feel any compassion anymore.
- This is the effect of poverty. They are hungry. They can't think straight. All their thoughts are focused on "how to survive poverty by any means" without thinking anymore of what is right and moral.

If you have other theories, share it to me. I am trying my best to understand these creatures before I pack my things and move with Tarzan or Ariel.

I have some ironic thing to share.

Read this article: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20081217-178401/Dolphins-save-Palawan-fisherman

Why ironic? Seems that the table has been turned. The dolphins are acting like humans. And the humans are acting like animals.

It will not be shocking anymore if someday a dolphin becomes a President of a country...
