From Hermit:
If they are so intelligent, why are they so easily confused? Why aren't they pounding on the boats confusing the people?

      This coming from a mimber of a species that you can give a small percentage of seizures by flashing lights at them? Dude, the problem lies with a flaw in the sense, it's like hitting us with a bright light so we can't see. In fact, the line doesn't say it confuses the dolphin, it says it confuses it's sense of direction.
      I think a better question would be, "If dolphins are so intelligent why do they take drowning humans to shore rather than waiting around at beaches to drag dolphin eating humans to the bottom?"

From Dave:
Well, in the defense of animals, they generally don't do stupid things like murder and stock fraud. Any killing they do is out of necessity, not for the pure glee.

      Actually, dogs that have been abandoned or escaped domestication somehow will kill for sport. This in no way invalidates Dave's point. I just wanted to point out that animals aren't beyond human corruption. Go us.

That'd be free range fire-roasted ducks, of course.

Right. Killed in accordance with local laws.

That actually sounds very inviting. Alas, I'm vegan (well, I do eat honey) so I'll have to pass.

BTW, before you call me a PETA freak, it's for MY health, NOT the animals.

Mm ... peking duck. I ate an assload of that in Toronto a few weeks back. It's a real pain in the ass to make though - have to make sure the duck dries out really well, otherwise it doesn't get crispy.

GO to chinese restaurants with ducks hanging in the window (and where you can't understand anyone) - chances are those ducks are better cooked than in places where they cheat by just deep-frying it to crisp the outside.

Slaughtering dolphins to chinese food ... interesting digression.

Just like the dolphins in Japan.

Absolutely.

The sea turning red with the blood is sick, and I have no intention of knowingly eating dolphin. I buy dolphin safe tuna, too. But I think they should be able to eat it, if their culture (and government) says it's ok and it follows international environmental law.

Be careful. Wouldn't want anyone to think you CARE about animals.

What does ok have to do with laws?

Apples and oranges.

I just wanted to clarify. I think a lot of people here DO care about animals, and it is OK to say it. People go about the "caring" part in different ways, too. Having differences of opinion about it and being able to discuss it is cool.

The truth is, though I could go on a lot of other boards, tell them (I think) eating meat is wrong and just get flamed for it. Because a lot of people are just stupid and don't want to think about it. I appreciate that people here aren't afraid to discuss it openly. Now, I'll shut up before someone says, "group hug!"

OK has NOTHING to do with laws. That's what I was trying to say. Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to say?

Apples and oranges? I wasn't making a comparison, and I don't want to drag out the "apples and oranges" discussion anyway, because it's been run into the ground already.

Ground apples and oranges with cranberrys is scrumptious.
