In another post there is mention of cows in Japan being massaged to the accompaniment of soothing music. I do not know whether the 'superior culture' reference is to Japan.

The Japanese have a great work culture and are also pioneers in miniaturization and industrial automation and novel methods in promoting mathematical and logical thinking at the elementary level through puzzles. Their 3i (imitate, improvise, innovate) is a great mantra we would do well to adopt. There is a lot more that can be said in their favour.

That said, it cannot be denied that some species of whales are being targeted by the Japanese to the point of extinction. Any restraint on their part has been only due to pressure from other nations. Some years back 'Animal Planet' used to regularly play a clip of a Japanese lady saying that whale meat was never in their home menu as she and her family members were conscious of their responsibility to save this great creature and she urged fellow Japanese to do likewise. Fishing of sea cucumbers (reportedly a delicacy in Japan) and some of the fishing methods of the Japanese are posing a threat to coral reefs including 'the great barrier reef' one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. It is up to the individual to assimilate this 'food culture' as yet another component of a superior culture.

Does massaging cows compensate for causing irreversible ecological damage?
