		<description><![CDATA[The killing of dolphins and whales is not a matter of national sovereignty, any more than human rights are a state-by-state issue.  This is a HUMAN behavior; humans are doing these killings, so it is up to we humans to police ourselves, regardless of what nationality those humans may give themselves.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[you're killing beings that are at least as intelligent, evolved and wise as we are... and that you don't need to be. Yes, the "tradition" started long ago, before gasoline outboard engines and boats, when you would be bad off and grab at anything that came close enough to shore to eat. But that time is long gone. In the U.S., we had slavery at one time as well. We would snag up black-skinned people and force them to do our work, to do as we commanded. We would beat them, even kill them, if they did not obey. It is not a time our culture is proud of. I'm reasonably sure that, some day in the future, the Faroese people will look back upon the atrocities of the Grind with similar embarrassment. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, right, SeaWorld.  OSHA and all the other orca experts don't understand but YOU do.  That's why your precautions have been so (un)successful... OSHA's probe "revealed that SeaWorld trainers had an extensive history of unexpected and potentially dangerous incidents involving killer whales at its various facilities." ... the neuroscientist replied "I'm not trying to second-guess what was in this particular whale's mind, but, certainly, if we are talking about whether killer whales have the wherewithal and the cognitive capacity to intentionally strike out at someone, or to be angry, or to really know what they are doing, I would have to say the answer is yes." ...  capturing and keeping dolphins in captivity is this century's slavery. ... How intelligent must a creature be before it "deserves" the inalienable rights we afford ourselves?

Is slaughtering or abducting and enslaving them the way we ought to be repaying their friendship?]]></description>
