The difference is one takes minutes to die, while the other takes up to hours. And in
the case of the latter, there's also saltwater coming in contact with the wound.
If that's to hard to visualize, just grab a knife from your kitchen, and stab into your
torso. Then have someone continually rub salt or pour alcohol into your wound. Tell
me if you like how it feels.
If I stabbed one single person and twisted the knife around until he died, I would be
labeled a sadistic murderer or psychopath. Yet when the same is done to whales in
their hundreds and thousands, all people say is, it's the Japanese's right and
culture? Screw that.
The problem I have is not neccessarily with harvesting animals, rather, it is with
people like you who regard animals as a lower class, and thus we humans can and
should do whatever we wish to them, with blatant disregard of the needless
suffering and pain inflicted.
Often times, these activities are done for sport (e.g. hunting), or for a non-essential
food source or luxury item.
It simply infuriates me that an alligator has to die because someone wants leather
shoes when synthetic ones would do an equally capable job of shielding his feet.
Or that a fox has to die because some bitch wants a fur coat when one made of
nylon and insulation is equally capable of keeping her warm.
Or that a harmless deer has to die because some hunter wants a trophy to hang on
his wall. I mean, is that really neccessary and worth taking a life for?
Or that sharks have their fins sliced off and left to die, just so some Chinese people
can carry on their tradition of having sharks fin at the dinner table as a status
symbol.
Or in the case of whaling, magnificent creatures have to die because the Japanese
want an exotic meat as a delicacy, when there are hundreds of other types of fish
they can eat.
Animals are a food source, I fully agree. But if we humans are as 'civilized',
'intelligent' or 'evolved' as we proclaim ourselves to be, then can't we at least make
an effort to treat them humanely?
We've made great efforts to execute criminals (people who are real animals)
humanely, yet the same consideration or effort is rarely given to innocent creatures
unfortunate enough to be living on the same planet as us.
And, can't we also try to reduce harvesting them unless there's an urgent need to?
Think of sharks fin and whale meat. The world would not starve or grind to a halt if
neither is on the table.
Anyone who thinks along the lines of, "But who cares. It's just an animal", is
degenerate retard that's not worthy of living on this planet.
