Read this barn.

Yeah I already read the whole page but what's the specific point this particular wiki entry makes?

Lol, you always do this, post a link and tell me to read it, but all I do is read it and interoperate it in a way that i'm still right..

BTW I am watching the Cove now, they really need some Japanese activists in their team.. At the moment it seems like self-righteous white folk trying to save flipper.. I don't think the mercury content and friendliness of dolphins is a good argument against killing them either.. Should just stick to the 'It's 2011 lets stop killing cetaceans'

Edit** Back to an earlier point about it being OK for Native Australians to hunt Native Dugongs. Dugongs have been natives in our waters since the Eocene- about 30 million years ago, whereas Aboriginals have been here for just 40000 years.. As far as the Dugong is concerned, aboriginals are just as introduced as the rest of us..

Let's not "muddy the waters" by intoducing arguments about Dugongs and other species. We need to focus on one issue at a time to have any chance of being effective.
The Cove issue is mass slaughter, killing whole family groups and "tribes". Animals migrating together along traditional routes. It is genocide and will reduce the genetic diversity of the whole species, weakening the species as a whole.
