News Forum - Japanese firm sells whale meat from vending machines
The intelligence of cetaceans varies because they had a common origin, back in the Eocene epoch. Some cetaceans like bottlenose dolphins and orcas, are as smart as chimps, or smarter. This doesn't neccessarily apply across the cetacean crown clade. Recently sperm whale brains were compared to those of delphinids, and it was predicted they have much lower intelligence. (You can't study them in the lab.) freshwater river dolphins are solitary and there is no evidence of exceptional cognitive ability, as you might expect, given social complexity drives brain size. The one in the zoo at Iquitos uses a blanket to madturbate, which seems human-like to visitors, but pigs will do the same thing. Baleen whales again, you can't study in the lab. But as with sperm whales, there's no evidence there, for dolphin type intelligence. Probably sperm and baleen whales are as smart as herding ungulates, such as horses? In all, most cetaceans seem as smart as are other ungulates. -

News Forum - Japanese firm sells whale meat from vending machines
Nowadays I am a vegan, and I have eaten whale. It was probably from a delphinid whale, caught in the Faroe Islands. It didn't taste memorable, good or bad. The ethical issues, if we are talking about non-threatened species, are no different from killing or eating any other mammal. Whatever is felt by the cetaceans during their harvesting, is nothing compared to the injustice that is suffered, by pigs and poultry on intensive farms. People are right to be concerned for animal welfare, but singling out whaling as uniquely evil, is quite a cultural arrogance, and a recent one too, given GB was once a whaling nation. Easier to judge the foreigners, then to use their peculiarities as a mirror, to explore one's own people, I suppose.- 1

News Forum - Asian woman arrested for pretending to be a student at US high school
Asians look younger than their age to Western eyes, I assume that's how she got away with it, in a majority White country. I don't see what she did that was morally wrong. Illegals can live in the US without legal documentation? But enrolling in a school with a slight dishonesty, is illegal? Women do tend to lie about the ir ages, after they turn 25... its not a sin. -
