		<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>

After even the International Whaling Commission (IWC), which is a pro-whaling organization, called for a moratorium on killing whales, nearly all nations stopped the activity. Why? What changed? We became to clever, too capable of killing. Where once it... <a href="http://www.protecttheocean.com/where-have-all-the-whalers-gone/"> [Continue Reading]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[... if we were just to eat the grain ourselves instead, we'd have 5-8 times as much food, and no animals would suffer, no massive slaughterhouse processing would be necessary, that much less fertilizer and pesticide would be employed... plenty of good reasons not to eat beef.  The same can be said of chickens, only the figure is even higher in favor of not eating their flesh.  Indeed, the damage done by the production of animals for our consumption is significant, and it's getting into our water table.  Even if one has no problem with causing another living being to be killed so that one can enjoy a taste for a few seconds, there remain plenty of reasons to support vegetarian practices...]]></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?
