It is quite a well-known fact how in Eastern cultures were portrayed cruel and inhumane through the bias 'evidence' of how the Japanese hunted whales.. or how the Chinese harvest shark fins for their cultural delicacy dish, shark-fin soup..etc. There is a lot more than THAT to portray Eastern cultures and traditions. But as humans, as a society we are easily influenced to subjective and bias.
In a recent spreading email, to show how the Western cultures are being hypocrites and discriminate the Eastern cultures, it too, displayed that they partake in these "inhumane" cruel acts. In Denmark, as a cultural tradition, hundreds of Calderon dolphins are slaughtered.
** Warning, the images shown are quite disturbing. **
