Hello! I am new here so i dont know where i should post this, but i think this might be the right part of the forum.I have noticed lately that many animal activits choose to boycott entire nations because of what these nations does towards certain animals, like for example people who boycott China and South Korea because of their dog/cat fur and meat industry, people who boycott Canada for the annual seal slaughter, people who boycott Japan and Iceland for their whaling industry etc, while they have all their rights to do this i just have to say that in my opinion they are extreme hypocrites that shouldn't call themselves for animal activists. ALL nations in the world does terrible things towards animals, and the United States itself is actually one of the most polluting and animal abusing nations in the entire world, just look at the annual slaughter of turkeys for Thanksgiving, how the farm animals like pigs, cows, sheeps and hens are treated at farms and slaughter houses, not to mention the chickens who gets their beaks burnt off at McDonalds chicken nuggets factories etc, yet the most of these so called "animal activists" who boycotts Japan because of whaling are very likely to buy American products, their arguments is often that "whales are intelligent", yes that's true, BUT SO ARE THE PIGS! Yet, pigs are treated like garbage on American farms and slaughterhouses, pigs are indeed very intelligent animals. I am totally against whaling just like i am against all animal abuse, i support the Sea Shepherd for their actions against the whaling industry, but unfortuently alot of the Sea Shepherd supporters are extreme hypocrites, for a while ago i joined a Sea Shepherd-support forum, and i was saddened to find out that the most folks at that forum had no kind of respect for other animals, they even had a "Happy Thanksgiving!" thread where everyone talked about how tasty the turkey was this year. These people should be ashamed of themselves and they should know that the Sea Shepherd are vegans who actually loves all animals, no meat or other animal products is allowed on the Sea Shepherd vessels, many of their members are also active Greenpeace supporters etc. So if you boycott Japan or China, take a look at how domestic animals are treated in your own country, not just if you live in the United States, but any country, cause animal abuse happens everywere. The country i live in, Sweden, is just as bad as the United States when it comes to how domestic animals are treated.
