Last week in class I talked dolphin hunting in Japan. According to CNN dolphin hunting has been going on since the 16th contrary, and has become the town of Taiji economic and food source. With technology and the academy award winning documentary, The Cove, Taiji has been put on the map. The brutal killing of dolphins, and capturing them for marine parks is inhumane. The fishermen use the technique called drive hunting. First part of this is that the fishermen bang metal rods to defen the dolphins, then drive them into a shallow cove. Once that happens they put a net trapping them there, and finally stab them in the spinal cord. The killing isn't eh only thing that happens in that cove, the fishermen look for cute dolphins to be sold around Asia and Europe at parks. Cute baby dolphins are ripped away from their mothers and have to their whole family die. Fishermen came across a rare baby albino dolphin named Angel, she lives in the Taiji aquarium, the story of how she got there is just terrible. Fishermen pulled her apart from her mother and then backed the boat into the babies mother, Angel watched her mother die, and now according to several sources such as OPS, Angel just sits in the tank depressed. According to Ric O'berry the dolphins smilie is the most deceiving thing.
        While doing research on this topic I happened to take a break and wound up on netflix. I came across a documentary similar to the dolphin subject. Over the weekend I watched the documentary Blackfish. Blackfish is about the captivity and training of orcas. It shows the dark side of sea world and other marine parks. Like the dolphin hunt, Orcas have been hunted through history and devised a way to escape being killed. They separate. Half of the pod goes one way, while the other half consists of mother and babies go the other way. In the 1980's when orca became in demand, people used helicopters to find the Orcas after they split up. The orcas have no chance unfortunately and the baby orcas become attractions in parks such as Sea World.
        Being held in captivity is no way to live for any sort of animal. Eventually we all go get depressed and go crazy. Thats what happened to an Orca at Sea World. The Orca attacked a trainer and she died. These creatures are wild animals, not meant for captivity. Shows such "wild and untamed" makes zero sense. They are animals they aren't going to be tamed. Wild are scary yes but I wonder if animals could speak would they say we are the crazy species? are we the one ruining their lives? We've lost respect for our planet and forgot we aren't the only species on Earth.

Personally being accused of something I didn't do always made me angry and I usually put a target on the back of the person who accused me. I never respected that person again. Being accused of rape however is a serious accusation and should never be taken likely. Unfortunately we live in an era where everybody wants to be famous and have their names on everybody's tongues. Accusing someone famous of rape like in that article you shared with us is absolutely disgusting. Being accused can turn public opinion on you and make you look like a disgusting human being when your not. The lady who accused this man has no self respect at all. Why try to ruin someone else's life just to have your name in the paper? This is why I think humans are just dumb, selfish animals who only have interest in themselves and money. Thats it.
        Women are crazy. You mentioned in your post about this lady possibly doing it for the money. Well I know of a women who turned a families life upside down all for the money. My friends mother from back home chose money over three children. As of what I know right now they don't talk, but she has given her several chances and still has picked money over her kids. There are better ways to earn money than accusing someone falsely or just taking everything away from a once happy family. There just needs to be better people in the world, ones who are trustworthy and honorable. Not crazy people who do dumb things for their own selfish reasons with ought giving a damn who gets hurt in the process.

I think thats an excellent question to ask, what is wrong with being right? Honestly I don't think anything is wrong with it. Every one in this country has the right to follow different political parties, after all America is the land of the free and home of the brave. Personally, deciding what political party to join seems stressful. Good for you in knowing what you believe and can strongly support the party, but its also scary to me. Politics still seems so off towards the future for me, but I'm 19. I have been legally an adult now for over a year and still haven't registered to vote or decide what party I should join. So my question for you is, how do you know what party do you belong to? I feel bad that I have the power to possibly make a change in this country, but don't actually use it. We as Americans are blessed to be able to have a voice, but whether we are strong enough to use that voice and announce what we believe will make a difference in the future. There isn't anything wrong with being young and supporting a party that typical young adults don't follow. I Just talked to my friend about the blog and she asked me if I'm a democrat since I'm from New York. My answer was "I don't know." New York is usually always blue when in comes to elections, but it doesn't make me a democrat. I haven't figured out yet if where I'm from should influence me or my beliefs. Like I said it seems so far into the future for me. I have democratic views and republican views, I just don't know. I'd rather be certain about my political beliefs, rather than being iffy and following the masses. Being right isn't wrong, not knowing is wrong.
