Greed?

(taken from newsletter 2012-09-21)

When a captive dolphin can be worth as much as $250,000, and Taiji, Japan is ground zero for the international trade in captive dolphins, there is no way the local fishermen in Taiji can convince us they are catching whales and dolphins for tradition. The brutal killing that happens in the Cove every year is about greed and greed alone.  



The Cove Guardians have arrived in Taiji and are there to stay until the killing stops! Read their first report of the season, and find out what you can do to help us save the dolphins.

New season, same horror

It has started again in Taiji: the murder, slaughter of small cetaceans, one of the most immoral and ruthless acts on animals in modern human history.

The first killings took place yesterday... pilot whales...

I hereby declare my support and my sincere sympathy to the cove guardians and members of SSCS that stand up and try to bring an end to it.

I'm with you on this,
Christoph

P.S.


I never continued this blog, not cause I stopped caring, not cause I wasn't interested anymore.
I never continued this blog cause at a certain moment I saw what i'm fighting against. 

If I look at it from a distance I realize I'm a part of it. I'm ashamed. I really am.

"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals... We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far beneath ourselves. And therein we err, we greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complex than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth."
