I can understand your distress. I have a question for you. Thousands of cows are killed every day. What makes the dolphins better than the cows?

Dolphins are cute and aren't killing our ozone with their flatulance.

And also, cows are tasty.

Nuttin. After Ronnie Brown went down with a torn ACL, they really went downhill this season. As if trading away their best receiver wasn't bad enough. :dunno

I aways buy dolphin friendly tuna.

So we shouldn't kill cute things, just the ugly things? Also, their flatulence doesn't "kill our ozone".

While it's true that gas of, uh, biological origin may be a problem, the concern isn't the ozone layer (which is being damaged by chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs) but rather the greenhouse effect, which causes global warming.

While manure-derived methane is proving very useful, the methane cows burp is causing problems. Methane is a greenhouse gas and, in the atmosphere, contributes to global warming. Cows burp an abundant supply of it every day — about 280 liters per animal (in other words, the average cow could fill 140 two-liter soda bottles with gas daily). Unfortunately, burped methane is more difficult to collect, with the result that about six million metric tons of it float blissfully up into the atmosphere every year. And that's just from herds in the United States. (Worldwide, ruminant livestock — including cattle, sheep, goats, and buffalo — produces about 80 million metric tons of methane per year, accounting for 22% of anthropogenic methane emissions.)


Methane is second only to carbon dioxide in the list of greenhouse gases. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, it's 21 times better at trapping heat in the atmosphere than CO2 (a fact that can be attributed to the larger size of CH4 molecules). The six million tons of methane that North American cows burp annually are equivalent to 36 million tons of carbon dioxide.
Why do cows burp so much methane? As with the anaerobic digester, the answer lies with bacteria. Billions of bacteria are busy at work in the cow's rumen (the first of the four chambers in its stomach), breaking down grass and hay in a process known as enteric fermentation. The bacteria — which live symbiotically in the cow's gut — are essential to its digestive process. One of the anaerobic bacteria produces large quantities of methane as a byproduct, which the cow gets rid of by burping.

:gives::urstupid: It was a joke, calm down.

 

[GraceAbounds]

Lol!!!

 

[Tim]

I aways buy dolphin friendly tuna.

What about tuna friendly tuna?

 

[teh_fuzz]

Ok now for more of a "detached" answer lol

To be honest it cant be that big of a deal for most of the world didnt care about it for the past say... 100+ years lol

We kill cows
We kill seals
We kill bambi

hell some breeds of dogs are specifically bred to be eaten.

its human nature, tradition and customs... nothing will change that.

Didn't look like a joke, damn. No need to get up in arms about it.

On another note, if we continue to kill irresponsibly----->because we can, we may find ourselves with species becoming more and more extinct. It happens. As a matter of fact it has happened with some.

I always buy tuna friendly human.

I wasnt really saying the cow thing to cause any trouble in your thread. Sorry if i pushed it off topic. I was just playing devil's advocate. Basically, I think the killing of animals really needs to slow down. I mean, if we dont need it to survive and I mean NEED it, then why take the lives of these beautiful innocent creatures? We will be kicking ourselves in the butt one day for not taking a stand against such things. And not just a stand for Dolphins, but all of the creatures that are being murdered purely for sport or financial gains. I used to hunt back home, but I never shot something I did not intend to eat.

 

[Peter Parka]

Its quite possible to survive without meat and be vegetarian but I'm still going to eat meat. I'm just opposed to unnecessary suffering in killing the animals and killing animals other than because they are suffering, pest control or food.

 

[Boomer]

Word. Like cows for instance. They are not going to go extinct. But you always have those people that are like. Im tired of an angus burger. I want some buffalo. Fucking why? Or back in the day. Damn honey, I sure could go for a dodo bird burrito. Sorry honey, the dodo is extinct. SHIT! How about some fried bald eagle then?

Why not some fuckin chicken bro?

Agreed. Americans eat waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy too much meat. Incredibly disproportionate compared to other countries where meat is more or less a garnishing or a smaller side dish.

 

[Boomer]

Here in the States, that is the main course of the meal. Where my New York Strip? Im just as guilty of eating my fair share of meat(by American standards) and it would probably do me good to slow down on it myself. Start being part of the solution.
