I think there's big difference how the sea mammals, like dolphins hunt their food or how whale and dolphin hunters slaughter their victims. Dolphin hunting is slow and cruel way to kill any animal. I'm not against hunting and the prey should be killed instantly. Read more -> Facts About the Drive Hunt - Sea Shepherd .
