    Has anyone asked the whales if they want saving.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Using the same logic - why don't we eat other people? The answer is because its plain wrong to do so because at some point there is always a need to draw a line in the sand and make a stand.

    The whales are kinda the poster children of the movement to preserve our marine environments and we like having them around living free. I understand other cultures feel differently but here in nz this is a moral touchstone.

    Like this? You may be surprised to find that most slaughter houses aren't exactly humane. THIS VIDEO IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC SO DON'T WATCH IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE SEEING SICK SHIT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

    All licensed slaughterhouses in New Zealand are exceedingly humane. Dollars to donuts that video wasn't filmed anywhere near these parts. But people who haven't figured out that meat comes from dead animals could be surprised by the reality that death is involved.

    Meh, use to see it every day...

    In NZ they still use captive bolt stunning on cattle, on sheep it's electrical stunning - then their throats are cut so they bleed to death.

    Before that there was no stunning - grab the sheep, tip it on its side, bend its neck around a post and slice - a good 'sticker' would cut right through in one swipe leaving the head attached by a piece of skin.

    Now with stunning the head is left attached to the spinal column and the neck has to be broken later on - and I can tell you there ain't no 'wrist-pump' like the one you get after breaking 3,500 necks in a day..

    BTW: once the blood-flow to the brain ceases the animal has in effect fainted - the majority of the 'struggling' is nerves, hell look at what a rabbit does when you head-shoot it!
