They do not have a bounded territory and their present numbers are a fraction of those of their ancestors. <br /><br />Second, the problem with whales and the larger dolphins is a matter of "can" rather than "do." It is true that hundreds of millions of smaller creatures are killed in horrible ways each year. However it for a lack of trying rather than a lack of a method. <br /><br />Great whales and the giant dolphins are so huge and so difficult to target that nothing, not even firing a dynamite charge into them, kills them with any speed or any loss of consciousness.<br />They die slowly in utter agony.<br /><br />It is not the killing that is inhumane. We humans are, after all, omnivores with a strong predeliction for meat. The inhumanity comes from the infliction of pain.<br />MTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626942240117432624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714063.post-68178013592877349402012-12-30T15:51:17.690+09:002012-12-30T15:51:17.690+09:00Avery -
