Updates on Wolves, Whales, and Dolphins: The Hunts Go On

THANK YOU! So many people (non vegans) sign petitions, protest against, and decry the annual seal slaughter/dolphin hunt/ wolf killing, etc. But they never connect with the fact that MILLIONS of animals are being killed every day for their breakfast, lunch and dinner!

I'm not saying that we sholdn't fight our hardest to save the seals, dolphins and wolves of the world, but it is nice to see you point out the fact that the slaughter of innocent creatures is going on on a huge scale right in front of our eyes.

Go vegan.

Most of the people that are in the courts, on the streets protesting the hunts, and working to save a species ARE ALSO the same people who do not eat meat and promote a vegan lifestyle choice.

To say that "they never connect..(the two)" is completely wrong. The ranchers and meat eaters are not the ones fighting to save the wolves. I haven't met one yet.

I know the animal activists that fight for wildlife. They walk the talk. Just because we are trying to save the last of a species from becoming extinct, does not mean that we don't fight just as hard for the farmed animals and pets.

When the numbers get low and the laws don't protect the animals anymore, it becomes a priority, that's all. It does not mean that we don't spend just as much energy towards cows, chickens, and sheep. If you lived in Montana, you would see that they are equally important to animal activists here.

We all know that killing goes on every day. No one disputes that. Some things become priority for people who fight for ALL animals, not just domesticated ones. Most of the focus of AR people seem to be for domestic and farm animals. The "special" ones don't usually get the press until they are threatened or endangered.

"We" sign more petitions for domestic animals and anti-cruelty laws. It may be easier to save a species from extinction than it is to change the entire population to vegans. You have to fight the little battles before you can win the war. It does not mean that our eyes are closed to the thousands of animals killed every day.

When you have less than two thousand wolves left in an entire region, and the hunters are allowed to kill one quarter to one half of the population, not counting what the ranchers kill to protect their stock... that becomes a priority. They focus on killing the breeders, so the future of the species cannot survive. They don't kill the weak and sick. They compete for the best of them to hang on the wall. Wolves are not used for food. It is about hatred toward the species and killing them all.

Our eyes are open all the way. Are yours?

Now I wonder if people will ever see the flawed logic in pampering one animal, having concern for the welfare of another, having complete apathy and even hatred for yet others. I suppose not, if we see them as being here for us to use. So is that view changing, and if so, why is it taking so long?

I could not agree with this more, and I have motioned for many years in a tremendous efort to make this far from inert fact made redundent in the eyes of society. I have tirelessly advocated for the Great White as well as all sharks, as this is also an isue that continues to require addressing.

I thank you inearnest, especiallya sa fellow author, to continue to make you're voice heard as you manipulated our Godgiven gift of words to bring it 'home."

I thank you, and especially as a Canadian Woodland Cree.

Now adays the animals are more vulnerable than ever. This stuff breaks my heart. It's so sad that we treat the animals that share our planet this way. :( Tears.

The arguments of the proponents of the continued mistreatment or slaughter of whales and dolphins are akin to saying that because humans are not endangered, and because we have been killing each other for millennia, we should respect cultures who continue the practice of genocide. How cold. How sad. How misinformed. Please read my blog at http://whaleanddolphintalk.blogspot.com/

I'm glad you found Change.org's AR blog, so that we could learn of you. Your blogspot is evidence of Soul's beauty (inner and outer). I look forward to reading your novel, "The Tempest's Roar." Thanks for sharing your passion with us, Robert.

P.S. I'm sending your blog to an astrophysicist friend who works for SETI and who is now also studying whale communication.

Thank you, Olivia. I hope you like it. You might be interested to know that The Tempest's Roar has been selected by the book club for the homeless at the Oasis Coalition in Boston. This group was recently featured in People magazine and on the CBS evening news. I trust that my book will help spread the word for saving these magnificent beings. All the best.

You i do think the whales are one of the most marvelous animals right along with the dolphins and sharks, but by defending them, we are also defending the oceans, which we must do, if the ocean dies, what do you think is going to happen to all of the earth. I will read your book, anything that will help spread the word, about what is going on is in my opinion helpful, any thing we do to save the animals, air,water, all this is a step for mankind.
