1. that was rahter disturbring.

2. killing an animal, in such a way as to induce pain if easily preventable, as a was clearly visible, in this day and age, is unexcusable. Quite a few people in that video need to be beaten pretty badly.

3. people gotta eat.

4. once again, slashing their throats and letting them bleed to death is fvked up. At least kill it quickly you pathetic petty bastards:|

5. The fact that they are proven to be highly intelligent creatures and people have to eat aside, that was totally fvked up.

My thoughts:

1. I have no problem with killing dolphins for food.
2. I do have a problem with anyone killing dolphins in that manner.

Ok, maybe I do have a problem with #1. Ethically I suppose killing a dolphin for food is little different than some South American aboriginal eating a monkey, but some how my sensibilities just don't like the idea of eating a dolphin.

That's disguesting, and really angering. Bastards .... nobody should ever kill an animal like that, and anyone with a decent heart shouldn't be able to watch that happen.

Give me a break. The majority of farm animals are not hacked to death. (not saying it doesn't ever happen).

They are mostly fairly humanely dispatched with a bolt gun.

I'm pretty sure cows and pigs are killed much quicker, not just cut and left to bleed/suffocate.

Cows are killed with a "nail" gun to the back of the head. They drop like a sack of potatos.

They most definately are not. There might be a few backwards hick meat shops that do this, but the majority of cows are dispatched with a bolt gun that fires a metal slug into their skull at high velocity.

I'm sure it doesn't deliver a fatal blow, but the cows and pigs are generally unconscious when their throats are cut. This is done to remove the blood from the carcas.

Either way, it's not for the faint of heart.

Slaughter. The desirability of stunning animals prior to slaughter was recognized in both Europe and the United States before the end of the nineteenth century. The practice became mandatory in the United States in 1960 with the passage of the Humane Slaughter Act. The Act requires that before being slaughtered, animals must be rendered unconscious by mechanical, electrical, or chemical means in order to cause the animal a minimum of excitement or discomfort. Captive-bolt pistols or pneumatic guns may be used on cattle. Pistols, electric shock, or anesthetization in a carbon dioxide chamber is allowed for sheep and pigs. Compressed-air stunners and gas chambers for smaller animals came into use after World War II. Exceptions to federal requirements are made for ritual slaughters that satisfy the requirements of a particular faith. In kosher inspection, for example, a member of the Jewish faith cuts the throat and bleeds the animal without first stunning it and then examines it for abnormalities before approving it for food use.

After stunning, cattle are suspended by one or both hindlegs, while the carotid arteries and jugular veins are cut. Hides are then removed by an automated process. A straight cut opens the center of the belly to remove the viscera. Next, the carcasses are split down the center of the backbone. Beef carcasses might then be shrouded, a procedure in which the carcasses are cooled for 24 hours after being tightly wrapped in muslin that has been soaked in warm water. The carcass fat is smooth and trim when the shroud is removed. Specialty meat items like the brains, kidneys, tail, tongue, and sweetbreads do not accompany the carcass but are an important income source for packers. The procedures for veal carcasses are similar, except that the hides are left on during chilling. Veal carcasses have very little fat and would shrink during chilling if the hides were removed.

In hog slaughter, the animals are bled after stunning by severing a large vein. The carcasses are then submerged in hot water to loosen the hair. After the removal of the hair, the carcass is eviscerated, split, and chilled.
