Dolphins

After class today I came back to my dorm and read the thoughts about dolphin killing I found on the internet to see what kind of arguments people had for and against it. I found that like in life there were extremes ranging from boycotting Japanese products until Japan stopped killing whales and dolphins to America being a "cultural imperialist". I would agree that America does have a habit of forcing it's moral values on other countries but just because America does that does not mean that those morals are wrong or right.Every time an issue of morals comes up anywhere in the world there will always be this separation of society because of our moral diversity.

Any argument is crap in the end because there are always people on both sides so who is right? The main point is no one knows for sure but why does that give anyone the right to be cruel and hurtful to anything in this world? The only thing that guides our moral compasses in this world is what other people might think of what we're doing and even then it doesn't work. I can give you plenty of examples like how in Sparta many centuries ago it was completely acceptable to kill a deformed infant until people decided it was wrong then it wasn't done anymore, or when in America there was the slaughter of Native Americans or Slavery or Segregation or Sexism etc etc....

Until the world as a whole can completely decide on what is right and wrong then issues like is it ok to kill whales and dolphins will come up, because there are countries like America that think dolphins are cute and intelligent and deserve compassion because they can feel pain and panic and then there are countries like Japan that think that dolphins are just another fish that eats the fish they like to eat so who gives a shit if it's cute or intelligent. Personally I agree with the American way of thinking about dolphins and if someone were to try throwing the whole "well Americans eat pigs and cows and chickens which are the same right?" at me then I'll say the following: Yes there are plenty of Americans that eat those things and plenty that don't eat meat at all and yea there are probably some people that eat other people so what! I'm not saying that you're right or I'm right I'm just saying that I personally like dolphins and don't want then killed cause I thing the world is a better place for having them swimming around then being eaten.
