Do you have any clue what you're talking about? It's really quite ridiculous how people think that humans are the only animals in the world that have any types of thoughts or feelings in any way. Just because we can't communicate or even understand them doesn't mean they're a bunch of biological robots that are programmed to do no more than eat, sleep, shit, piss, and procreate. Quite frankly that's all a lot of humans are good for.

When I saw Hamburg I figured it was named after Hamburg, Germany.

On the dolphin thing. Who are we to simply use animals for our own benefit? It's not like we're an endangered species, we can afford to lose a few people here and there*. But we've gone and completely extinguished and endagered animals. Before you go making claims about the dolphins and all, there's a lot more to that story than you seem to have heard. Go dig yourself up a documentary explaining the training programs for the dolphins. The use of dolphins started some time ago, I believe around the Vietnam era, maybe a little before that. The US Navy doesn't exactly have a reputation for treating them excellently.

Then again, neither does the circus or Sea World.

And on eating meat, it's arguable whether we're "supposed" to eat land animals in the first place. And what's to say we're "supposed" to eat cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens but not humans, lions, tigers, bears, elephants, horses, etc.?
