香港航空參與販賣海豚的血腥活動，協助日本將活捉的野生海豚運到越南圖利，助長日本的海豚屠夫繼續驅趕、活捉、販賣和屠殺海豚。作為有良知的香港人，您覺得這個幫兇是否應該受到譴責呢?

正當全球各地努力嘗試去制止日本某些地方的人(如太地)繼續屠殺和販賣海豚的同時，香港航空幫助運送被人以兇殘手法活捉回來的野生海豚，實在令香港人蒙羞! 更甚的是，香港航空內部以這次包機運送海豚為傲，說包機為公司賺得可觀利潤，完全漠視那些海豚的福祉!

如果您也不同意香港航空的做法，如果您也愛野生動物，請向香港航空提出抗議:

資本主義基本上以 $$$ 為依歸, 所有有生嘅事物都只不過係可以被利用為獲取 $$$ 嘅 (完全可被棄置嘅) 工具

唔知邊個人曾經講過, 不擇手段地獲取最大嘅 $$$, 係社會乃至人類最大幸福嘅泉源

其實仲有上市制度: 公司ceo係要向股東負責, 你買咗嗰隻股票即你係該公司的(小)股東. 做乜無啦啦買股票? 之唔係想人哋(公司)工作, 你分享所成(錢)之嘛 咁你唔通想你隻股票嗰間公司個ceo唔賺到盡咩?! 不過咁睇, 香港銀行而家啲利息真係迫人買股票(金都得).

我知我知, 不過小弟只係想話現代社會基本上係將 $$$ 以外嘅所有野通通抹殺啫

這是我向香港航空發出的信，歡迎使用、參考和廣傳。(中文版本在下面)
想為海豚出聲的朋友, 請也表達您的不滿

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am really shocked to know that Hongkong Airlines was involved in the transportation of wild caught dolphins from Japan to Vietnam, a bloody business condemned by people worldwide.  And I am equally shocked to learn that your company took pride of this ‘success’.

Certain places in Japan still practise the obsolete dolphin drive hunt, in which wild dolphins are driven by noise to a small cove where they are encircled by fishing net.  Some of the dolphins were selected for life long captivity while the others were brutally slaughtered for a slow painful death, with the blood of dolphins making the cove all red.  The pollutant-laden meat is sold as whale meat to the public, including innocent school children.  While the demand for dolphin meat reduces drastically in recent years, the dolphin hunters profiteered from the trading of dolphins.  As dolphins have to rely on the buoyancy of water to support their internal organs, they have to bear tremendous pressure physically and psychologically when being transported.

You may argue that if your company is not transporting wild dolphins, many others will do and make a profit out of it.  But in fact, many carriers avoid getting involved in this bloody and dirty business as many people consider this trade cruel, inhumane, immoral and unacceptable.  If all the carriers say no to the dolphin traders, it is very likely the dolphin drive hunt and the dolphin slaughter can come to an end.

And, as a person born and raised in Hong Kong, I really feel ashamed of what your company did.  I had flied with your company before.  But as a person with conscience and morality and a frequent traveller, I am determined NOT to choose Hongkong Airlines again because of the bloody business you are involved, unless your company pledge that you won’t be involved in the transportation of wild dolphins of the dolphin trade again.  Unless your company gives positive response publicly, I’ll spread this around and ask my friends and their friends not to choose your service.

I hope Hongkong Airlines, as a corporate citizen of Hong Kong, could reconsider your involvement in the bloody business and deny any future request to transport wild dolphins.

對於貴公司參與運送日本從野外活捉的海豚到越南，支持這遭全球讉責的血腥活動，本人實在十分震驚。令我同樣震驚的是，貴公司竟以此為傲。

日本部分地方仍然進行大規模但已不合時宜的海豚捕獵活動，以聲音將海豚驅趕至細小的海灣，將牠們用網圍困。部分海豚會被捉往終生囚養，其餘的就會被人以極之兇殘的手法慢慢折磨至死；海豚血流成河，將海灣都染紅。充滿毒素的海豚肉會當作鯨肉出售，賣給市民，甚至無辜的學童。雖然日本人對海豚肉的需求大幅減少，海豚屠夫卻以販賣海豚圖利，而且利潤可觀。由於海豚需要依靠水的浮力支持內臟的重量，牠們在運送途中會飽受精神和肉體之苦。

貴公司可能會覺得，如果你們不運送野生海豚，總會有其他公司去運送獲利。事實上，現時很多航空公司都不會牽涉這血腥殘酷的活動，以免公司形象受損，因為很多人都認為販賣海豚殘忍、不人道、不道德及不能接受。如果所有航空公司都拒絕這不道德的運送要求，販賣海豚的人很可能會因而停止繼續活捉和屠殺海豚。

作為土生土長的香港人，我實在以貴公司所做的為耻。本人曾數次乘搭貴公司的航班。但作為有良心和道德的人，以及經常到外地旅遊的人，我決意不再選用貴公司的服務，除非貴公司承諾以後也不會運送販賣的野生海豚；這個決定完全是因為貴公司染指這血腥活動所致。除非貴公司公開作出正面回應，本人會繼續將這事傳揚開去，並請朋友和他們的朋友同樣不選用貴公司的服務。

希望以香港為家的香港航空會好好檢討這次事件，並拒絕再為海豚屠夫運送野生海豚。

如果間公司的CEO 只看錢，就好易出現 ‘富士康’ 那樣的機構，最後出現企業形象問題，所以就算是CEO 都要考慮社會大眾的觀點，
E＋社會無錯是金錢大晒，要有D 底線先會是一個合格的CEO！

the 憤青 attitude here is AMAZING! So if Sotheby's auction some ancient Chinese antiques (presumably stolen from the Imperial Palace during the Boxer Uprising in 1900) then we boycott Sotheby's, the buyer, the seller and the shipping company, the insurance company who insure the shipment, the custodian bank of the antique, the bank who do the funds wiring,  the 5-star hotel which rent the function room to Sotheby's for the auction and even the city where the auction took place, etc??????? we should be harsh on wrong doings but we should be sensible too.

每人的道德標準都不一樣，
大部份人都會反對捕獵鯊魚和穿山甲，
但是如何對待主動或被動參與其事的「幫兇」，
則各人有不同的看法，
是否杯葛就依自己的取向去做好了。

Thanks and I do see where you are coming from BUT finger pointing a cargo carrying airline (legitimate in doing so) means you are punishing shareholders of a legitimate company just doing its job for shareholders.  For example, lack of land supply in Hong Kong led to scarcity of new property supply hence you have sky high prices on new launches. One should lobby the government to increase land supply rather than forcing or asking developers to lower the selling prices (therefore punishing the shareholders who are totally innocent).  Dolphin lovers like your goodself AND myself should lobby for legislation to be changed banning dolphin killing (and also whale hunting, in my humble view).  My view is to address and attack the source of the problem rather than killing the messenger.

Totally disagree with your points...... even with your quoted example....everythings are not as simple, as direct as you think...(Sky high price of property is not solely due to the shortage of land supply... for sure...I think everyone knows what's happened but I dont want to discuss it in this post)

The airline company have choice, they can refuse. Airline gain profit from the Japanese hunters. They are the DIRECT profit gainer in this industry. They are promoting the whaling industry!
If the public can make pressure to all the aspects related to the industry, it is for sure directly attacking their root. I can't find any reason that it is meanlingness or inappropriate!

AndrewL, while I respect your choice not to boycott HK Airlines, please do respect my own choice and others’ choice as a consumer.  As BWA had said, different people have different moral standard, and different people have their own choice.

For many years, conservationists had been working hard to lobby or press the Japanese Government to stop the brutal kill.  BUT it just continues year after year with Taiji police trying to interrupt conservationists who are there peacefully just to record what the dolphin hunters are doing.  Pressure has to be put on every single stakeholders involved in this bloody and dirty business to end the senseless kill.

And for HK Airlines to take pride of transporting wild caught dolphins, I really can't see why I shouldn't voice out my oppositon for my dolphin friends at sea.

I think I have made my points clear and I’m not going to respond to this further.  Kindly please don’t side track this post too much.  Thanks.

I agree with dolphin-lover's view. What we have to do is to let the public know the whole story and let them make their own judgement. For example, some people may avoid visiting those restaurants which sell whale dishes. Applying the same logic, people may avoid choosing an airline which promote dolphin catching.

I disagree with your view but I will defend your right to speak your mind until the day I die. I respect differences in opinion and I think respect of another person's point of view is the fundamental that makes the world beautiful. I rest my case and will debate no more.

雖然AndrewL兄說不會再討論此事, 但都忍唔住講番句: 有人運毒(無論知情與否), 警察都會拉. 唔等於警察唔打擊毒品製造中心, 毒販等. 海豚係有國際法保護唔獵得, 但係國際法冇人執行(告日本地方政府上海牙?), 消費者唯有靠自己力量唔支持運豚(毒)者.

人各有知,從心而智.

當一些事情係需要用「抗行」,「噪音」,「壓力」去改善現狀的時間, 當然要把心中認為合理的理據強調出來先可以感染或者去說服更多人去理解, 去關心, 去明白問題所在. 但如果此時有不同意見的人在公開場合下反提出一些完全不同的價值觀, 而這種價值觀又很可能會影響其他人的思考方向, 破壞原本的理念, 那當然要反駁啦! 這根本不是尊不尊重意見的問題, 這是做教育做保育的一個很重要原則.

每個人只執意著某一些所謂的禮儀或尊重, 而堅持某種所謂「包容」「體諒」「中融」「和諧」, 以為咁樣個世界就係會更beautiful, 係唔係天真左少少呢? 當你這一邊坐在電腦前面堅持所謂和諧融洽的同時, 知唔知道地球那一邊廂每日都進行緊我地看不見的不公平不道義殘害嗎? 點會有beautiful world呀? 你唔去激進少少去抗行抗爭, 點樣可以喚起人關注呢? 點樣改善現狀呢?
靠所謂正統法治嗎? 不要天真啦! 對世界社會有少少認識的人都知道這個根本唔work...一定要有更加多人去推動! 再者, 大部份法律或者公約都係由於人的「噪音」和「壓力」而去制定, 如果我地連呢d voice都唔去出, 邊個會理?

世上好多好多例子, 都係因為有人用唔同方法去製造聲音同壓力先可以得到公義或改善!!
你唔去製造壓力, 做緊果樣野的人又點會花時間去concern一d佢覺得冇關係的事呢, 俾著你係打工仔或者係老板都心照啦!!

如果因為 ‘和諧’ 兩個字，明明有問題的東西，但沒有人敢出聲，世界便會走向黑暗，有意見可以出聲只代表世界還有言論自由，黑暗與光明得到平衡！
唔通要D 動物講人話告到終審法律咩？ 只要有人願意出聲，才可對D 無知的機構／人仕帶來壓力，例如：D﹠G 事件，可以和平地表達香港人的自尊！不好嗎？
