Me the tree-hugger
November 5, 2007
A few days ago, Hayden Panettiere of Heroes was in the news. She was in Japan with her friends to help stop the the illegal slaughter of dolphins which is apparently, hugely tolerated by the Japanese police.
Riding in their surfboards, they bravely paddled forward to prevent a group of dolphins from being lured into a trap. Unfortunately, a fishing boat reached the dolphins first and by the boats propellers and a boat hook, the rescuers were prevented to come nearer.
Fearing for their own safety, the surfers were forced to return to shore and leave the country quickly or else be arrested for trespassing.The news video showed the waters turning red with blood as the dolphins was slaughtered, Hayden and her friends apparently unsuccessful.
Naluha talaga ako nung napanood ko to. I really feel bad when I see things like these. We are way past our hunter-gatherer era, we have farms and food processing now. Killing an endangered animal is no longer a necessity, either for food, clothing, or whatever.
Kahit di man nila na-prevent, at least they were able to create awareness. I wish I could do something like this someday.
In the meantime, all I can do is this…
