Reply #49: Good Morning... [View All]

I read the story and it sounded to me like the fishermen believed this poor marine creature to be an aberration. They had never seen one before. It is for the most part blind and has exaggerated physical features. They clubbed it to death to insure that it would not breed. To them it was an abomination. And of course as so many of us knuckle dragging meat eaters know...clubbing fish on the head is the most expedient way of dispatching it. They took it to the museum possibly believing they might make some money...
The tragedy is that the Indian government does not see fit to give all their citizens a worthy education. And so you have primitive mores and superstitions holding sway in the lower classes.

Although I must say that the name calling and the hopes for bad things to happen to non evil human beings makes me feel that some people here are just as primitive.
