The other day I received a forwarded email with the heading 'Big Cruelty'. It also urged the receiver to forward to all friends so that the same can reach to members of 'PETA' and other animal rights activists.
The pictures were so nauseating and heart-rending, that I decided not to forward it.
Yes; the picture showed an entire village involved in this act of'pilot hunting' in which hundreds of Dolphins on the coast of Faroe Island, Denmark were killed in a most crude manner. The coastal waters not only turned red in colour but thickened by the concentration of blood derived from killed animals.
Whilst I saved my friends from the gory sight of the pictures depicting the cruelty committed to hundreds of defenseless, but beautiful and most intelligent animal species, I could not keep quiet without thinking about it in a bid to reason out such practices in this world.
Well, the nature and life cycle involving the biodiversity has its trappings & designs that the so called higher order lives feed on other weaker links for survival. But humans, being on top of the life chain, should be able to live with more responsibility by displaying care and dignity to the environment,viz., the flora and fauna.
However, we do find this responsibility taken up Governments and various activist groups who are now promoting various campaigns and awareness programs.
Thinking about the issue, one has to come to terms with the fact that it is not possible to ban killing of whales as it is also a major source of supply of meat product. But a more refined approach can be introduced so that age old and undesirable practices are replaced by practices that would protect the environment and also ensure that the animals lead a peaceful life till the end.
Here I would like to add that this piece is not triggered by the story about whales but about similar minds having a whale of thoughts.

I remember seeing this forwarded mail and its not a good sight.
Unless people realize on their own, it is very difficult to make them understand irrespective of their intelligence.
