I havent seen the documentary, and I dont know the details about how the leak exactly happened, or to what it was attributed. All I can figure out is that it was due to carelessness. Please correct me if am wrong.
Definitely unfortunate.
Some incidents drive us from theism to agnosticism or even atheism. But thats not the point. Everything happens for a reason, and as a consequence for some actions, done knowingly or unknowingly.

Hey,

Very nice writeup. Certain things, like selling dolphin’s meat under the name of whale meat is something alarming. Great post.

Hi Amrutha, Thank you for the comment. I suggest you try to watch the movie – It’s quite informative too and you can also drop by their website. Let’s do the least we can.
By the way, good to meet you here !

I agree with you for the most part. Vegetarianism, yes, I am for it, but have come to realize that it’s a difficult point to fight for.
There’s many things out there that’s happening and that’s completely not right. Some just hit you at right on and you feel guilty even though you aren’t directly a part of the crime. This is one such thing. Watch the movie.

This sure is a hard-hitting entry which brings out the gory reality, and the atrocity of the beastly race called homosapiens we all belong to.

Callous, as we all are, we find it difficult to empathise with fellow humans, so animals come a distant second!
Man has interfered with all the aspects of nature and the real “2012″ isn’t too far away.

Its disappointing to see that a country like Japan sought the repealing of ban on selling dolphin meat. And a conscious country like Denmark, which generates a third of its electricity requirements from wind energy to reduce its carbon footprint, to go about killing dolphins is irony to the core.

The best we can do is to urge non-vegans to convert to veg. This will be good for all species that are killed for meat. The spread of many diseases and also the adverse effects of mercury accumulation can be checked. The trend is changing gradually as we can find many people turning vegetarians. How can killing of a chicken or a pig or a cow be justified, but killing of a dolphin be worse?
Killing animals for any reason is bad, be it a chicken or a whale, all animals are part of the food chain and are in their respective places for a reason. I know that this is a radical thought, and its easy for me to say that being a vegetarian, but we can try to do what is best for us in the long run.

We need to have better regulations in the textile industry so that minks, crocs etc aren’t killed to decorate us. There also need to be better forest depts to check poaching.
With that said, lets just hope the world wakes up to the severity of this situation and takes corrective measures.

Thank you Venu. Yes, I followed up on the team’s efforts afterward, and apparently the people in Taiji have reduced the slaughter of Dolphins. The least we can do now is spread the word. And in fact, it’s not only in Japan, this gruesome practice is prevalent in Faroe Islands (near or in Denmark) – where it marks the celebration of coming of age for guys. (I simply can’t understand it – and we call ourselves civilized!!) .
Also, am sorry for the extremely late approval of your comment, I happen to see it only now.
