Agreed. Sort of. I recall a number of years back reading about the killing of "innocent dolphins" who happened to get caught up in Japanese tuna nets. And I was like, well, aren't the tuna innocent too? Do they deserve to be killed? Have you seen The Cove? Definitely essential viewing. It just goes to show you that people have the capacity to be completely barbaric and shameless when money is involved.
