Animal conservation groups are enraged over the brutal slaughtering of thousands of dolphins off the coast of Peru, where the mammals are used as shark bait for an Asian delicacy known as shark fin soup.

Shark fin soup is a very expensive dish in China, among other Asian countries. The extravagant dish comes at a much higher cost -- not only on a humane and ethical level, but the price paid could be the disruption of our oceans' entire ecosystem.

Both the dolphin and shark populations have been devastated by the hunt, and a new investigation reveals that at least 10,000 dolphins are killed off the coast of Peru each year by fisherman who use them as shark bait, according to watchdog group Asociación Mundo Azul.

The London-based Ecologist Film Unit recently recorded one of the hunts in an undercover investigation and released its material, CNN reports. The disturbing video shows the crew plunging a harpoon into the pod, and once captured, the carnage begins.

If you could use peruvian children as shark bait they would do it. The problem is, dolphins are easier to get and more effective overall.

Treating them as shark bait for a while would probably kill them. Not a humane punishment, is it?

I'm not saying what they're doing is right, I'm just saying you're as bad, if not worse, if you seriously want to put another human being through that. at least they are doing it to animals which many still believe aren't sentient

Such scumbags they aren't human. And what?
They would get experience and suffering as what this poor animals get through! They will never forget. So maybe "they stop this crap" what they doing! Anyway, I don't like it myself. But when it's come to such cruelty. Hmm I will never be on their side not even ........... EVER!

What about the sharks they're baiting and killing? No one's stepping up in defense of the sharks, which are being fucking tricked into coming near them, thinking they'll get a nice little meal, only to be killed for their fins.

And Cheshire, I don't fucking understand you people. Do you have any fucking idea what kind of shit animals do to each other? You don't even have a vague concept of the actual biology of the animals (which probably don't feel pain in remotely the same way as people do), let alone the capacity to even formulate a basic, coherent statement condemning the actions taken, leading us to a series of tirades on how other people should be tortured in retribution. And I can almost guarantee that you would be among the first turn around to condemn whoever took it upon themselves to torture the culprits.

For those of you who eat meat, you have no idea how cruelly the animals that go on your dinner plate are slaughtered. If you really love animals, don't eat them. If people don't eat meat, then there won't be any slaughterhouses and animals bred specifically to be butchered and eaten by humans, so don't say "if you don't eat them, the die anyways."
I am a vegetarian. I hope everyone can become a vegetarian one day, and stop consuming the carcasses of animals and thinking that it is delicious when in reality it is rotting away in your wet, humid, 37.5 degrees digestive tract.

I don't fucking understand the cruelty humans show towards any animal. It's extremely evil and cruel. Seriously, skin the animals while they are alive? They do feel pain! And it does hurt an animal. It's extremely fucked up Treating animals in a bad way is morally and ethically wrong! And you talking about what they do to each other. They have no choice in the matter. They would starve to death otherwise Seriously. We humans are lucky to have a choice. We won't drop dead if we stop eating meat! And for fuck's sake We have a choice to kill the poor animals in a "In humane manner" We don't need act brutality toward animal!

We should treat them as we would wish them to treat us

wut? If nobody was eating meat we would just slaughter all the animals anyway because they are eating our crops. When we no longer have a use for them we get rid of them.
What would pigs be good for now? Just get rid of the entire species.

In my mind, that's a pretty solid counter-argument.

^ But that doesn't mean that "The animals need to be tortured/suffer before they die.
hmm Just get rid of the entire species.? Why not keep them as pet.?

You want to keep pigs as pets? Those horrible misfigured things which have been breed over centuries just to be slaughtered? We have changed those animals so much that they would not survive a normal life. They are nothing but a convenient way to mass produce meat. They are not normal animals anymore, they have been engineered for a certain purpose.

Besides that. Those which are supposed to be eaten are not tortured usually. Well, at least in most parts of the world.

Not more than necessary, anyway. Whatever's cheapest will usually be done, because people simply don't have the time or spare resources to torture animals for fun.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
