World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The fact that it has to be justified in this way shows that something isn't right. Just because something is legal doesn't make it right.
Also, what kind of nonsense is this: "with a strong emphasis on animal welfare". It's a species hunted and killed by the hundreds! What kind of welfare is seen there!?
Humans' way of justifying their dubious morals can be disgusting!
Just for the sake of accuracy, not because I don't think this is barbaric, it's definitely barbaric, but they hunt pilot whales, which aren't endangered.
I stand corrected. I misread the last paragraph.
I edited my comment accordingly.

TPTB feel the same way about humans. 🤑 🤗 🤑
Ah, it’s ok then. Second most intelligent conscious creatures are hunted by the third.
No, of course it's not okay. I literally said it's barbaric.
You said it is barbaric, but you have not said it is not OK. Some barbaric actions are OK.
Are you really being that anal? Of course it's not okay.
And I can't think of a barbaric action that is okay. Can you give me an example?
Dancing at night naked around fire.
That isn't barbaric. Barbaric means "savagely cruel; exceedingly brutal" according to Google.
I need to apologize. I was simply trolling you. I thought it would be fun for you too, but I think I was mistaken.
Fair enough.
I'm curious if they're eating these animals.
If they're doing it to survive, then I honestly have no problem with hunting and encourage them to do it in a sustainable manner.
They eat them. But there is no need to do so. It's a tradition.

This source also highlights the hypocrisy of saying that there's a focus on animal welfare.
There is no need to eat any animal and yet as a society we seem to have no problem with mass meat industry. Now, I don't disagree that there is hypocrisy in saying there is a focus on welfare, but I also feel some hypocrisy in there being outrage on some particular animals being eaten while other animals being eaten is fine.
Wow. I didn't know they practically torture these animals while killing them.
