@LaComtesse: Hey, wow honey, lobster! Thank you so much! And here I thought you were mad at me! Now let me just see what the rest of this delicious-looking lobster looks like under this lettuce leaTHERE IS NO GOD. #thecove
@mbprice: Heh. To the contrary, this creature makes me question the existence of Satan. This bug will haunt my dreams, but it illustrates my point beautifully. #thecove
@LaComtesse: Should be protected too, but it's endangered by a habitat problems not brutal slaughter & capture by men.
People aren't protesting just because dolphins are cute ... but because they are intelligent animals that are driven into a cove, trapped with nets and stabbed with hatchets and harpoons while the other dolphins are suffering and panicking before being killed too ... and then use the guise of "research" and "culture" to justify it.
A few that are caught are sent off to theme parks.
Sorry to be so serious, but it's a sad, and neither the US or Japanese governments do anything about it. #thecove
@LaComtesse: Actually, I want to thank you for bringing this up. A lot of people will protest about cute animals, but not reptiles, amphibians or arthropods. #thecove
You know they have actually BANNED water births in Ireland after newborn babies drowned during them? Deciding that you want to give birth in the water is already one of the most selfish things you can do to your child, in my mind, but giving birth in the water with animals present? Wow. You're going to make a great mom.
@laureltreedaphne: I checked that out, it seems they're thinking of bringing it back, and I can't find any reliable source suggesting water birth is unsafe. You might be right, but could you link me to something that backs it up? I'd never heard that before and I'm interested. My friend is heavily pregnant so I'd like to let her know if water birth has been proved to be unsafe.
Well, that's not going to get awkward at ALL when that dolphin sticks its nose right up every subsequent woman's boyhowdy looking for the Magically Appearing Baby.

(Somehow, my brain didn't actually register the word "embassy" so I went straight to "anime convention" instead...I need a nap)

Then there was that whole "800-lb carnivore sniffing mah belly!" feeling.
But really? Babies being born make me all mushy, dolphins or not.
