Personally, when I watched the South Park video about Japanese whale wars, I felt that the video was exaggerating too much about Japanese as barbaric, inhuman and all Japanese are like how it was described in the video in order to deliver the message humorously and impressively. On the other hand, for the video called The Cove, since it was a documentary video with the live recorded and evidence, it spoke to me and came to me more realistically and seriously.
Talking about fact that the Japanese hunting for whales, I felt sympathy towards the whales and dolphins being killed by people and being eaten. Then I think that we should be feeling sympathy for whales and should protect them because they have feelings and can feel the pains like human.
However, if I be logical and honest about the fact that hunting whales and dolphins for eating without being emotional and feeling sympathy, somehow I do understand Japanese who hunts for whales or dolphins. This is because of the logic thought that I have it in mind that if we can kill pigs and cows to eat, why can’t we do that to whales and dolphins unless they are special species or endangered species. For the endangered species point, I should need to have more knowledge or information about that if whales and dolphins are the special species to be taken care of in order to give comment with more confidence.
Therefore, I do feel pity whales but I feel pity them as how I would pity other animals if I see them being killed. As another word, in my opinion, I do think it is the Japanese culture that we did not get used to it unless there are other serious side effects from killing whales.
