They aren't good fishermen, that's for sure. I've never seen anyone dragging a swordfish or shark behind a truck still alive. It's confusing. Just one quick lance to the brain and the dolphin is dead and isn't going to feel pain. What idiot allows the creature to live while removing meat? It's stupid. If they were slaughtering cows, they wouldn't do this. They'd kill them instantly so as to avoid any danger as the animal thrashes about.

To get something straight, these animals are eaten. They aren't being tortured for amusement or anything of the sort, they are our food. If you are going to suddenly feel a great well of pity for the animals because you love flipper or you've heard that dolphins are intelligent, then I suggest that you stop eating lamb. Maybe you should stop eating pig and cow, too. The death of any creature is something to mourn, but it's a necessary part of the life cycle and to ignore that is to ignore the fact that without these animals most of us wouldn't have muscle tissue to speak of (as most of us aren't vegan and wouldn't get enough protien from non-meat foods).
