Japan Scientist Warns of Mercury in Dolphin Meat

[havanissa]

Seems like the problem can solve it self, if people ignore it

A coastal whaling base in Miyagi Prefecture of Japan has been destroyed by the powerful tsunami triggered by 3/11/11's massive earthquake, which washed away their whale-processing facility. In Ishinomaki of Ayukawa on southern Oshika, the tsunami of 10 meters high traveled 600 meters inland. They prospered as a whaling base since opening there in 1906. Two of their vessels were scheduled to participate in Japan's research whaling in April. search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bi­n/nn20110318a7.html

THEY WERE FEEDING WHALE AND DOLPHIN TO SCHOOL CHILDREN... EVEN SEEN RIGHT HERE ON YOUTUBE. They were unloading the meat found to have too much mercury in it as "school lunches", since they couldn't sell those batches as the high priced "delicacy" so to avoid losing out financially on their overhead hunting expenses. Don't they care even about their OWN people?!

Interesting fact : The EPA estimates that America produces about 90 tons of mercury pollution per year, half of it ( from the burning of coal) goes right up into the atmosphere. Makes 'ya wonder, huh?

[zigsauer]

Fishoil supplemets have been found to be toxic too !

Thank you for posting this video

[who2really1cares39]

people shouldn't eat dolphins

[journeyman47]

Good video; thanks for spreading the message. Keep it up until they outlaw the greedy assholes from killing more of our fellow mammals. Thanks.

The bogus Japanese fisherman claim of killing other things, whales, fish, dolphins, etc to protect fish has been proven false & the Japanese ICR "researchers" have all been discredited by world scientists.

The effect of eating mercury-tainted whale & dolphin on people in Japan is serious. A study in the Faroe Islands revealed it caused neurological problems in children whose mothers ate it. The Mercury levels in Japan are worse. Dolphin even worse. Fishermen polluters caused it themselves.

Methyl Mercury poisoning gets into the brain tissue. The Japanese dolphin killer advocator booboowambotube who said Japanese fishermen have eaten it but nobody's died from it, is not too smart. Because what eating mercury contaminated dolphin meat does, is it gets into your BRAIN tissues. It reduces your intelligence. It causes cognitive defects & low IQ. And anyone seeking proof that killing & eating dolphin can cause stupidity, can simply look at YOU! Walking example.

[hex99jojo]

Killing dolphins in Japan is not for eating but for protection of the fisherman's business. What about eating? We'll go to clean antarctic sea for whale hunting, which should be mercury free. There is no problem here at all. Good job professor, keep going!

[journeyman47]

Try eating some nice healthy vegetables for a change instead of stuffing your face with the polluted flesh of your fellow mammals, dumbass!

[APEEEEEx3]

ahhh Dolphins are too smart and adorable to eat!!

[booboowambotube]

Japanese people have eaten dolphins and whales meat for 400 years, and nobody had been acute poisoned.

The mercury in dolphins is natural mercury in the sea water and concentrated through food chain, so it is wrong to say that the mercury is coming from the industry.

Tuna has the similar level of mercury.

[dabuddha669]

haha, natural mercury? don't eat that lead paint unless it's natural honey. i do agree though, just more hype about nothing.

[booboowambotube]

I like your similitude ( ﾟДﾟ)y─┛~~

The translator did her job very roughly, and skipped Dr.(?)'s arbitrary comment that the mercury was due to ecodoom.

[dabuddha669]

gotcha

[corsostudios]

You're an idiot.

[ozwunder69]

mercury poisoning cause madness

[Logicbeatslies]

Maybe it is also addictive. that would explain a lot

[IDEATHMETALI]

@ozwunder69 madness??? this is sparta!!!

[alsiyonealternate]

Dolphins are not farm animals that we breed and then slaughter. We can have pigs and chickens to

produce more than a hundred offsprings a year. Dolphins can only bear one young per pregnancy and

yet 14,000 dolphins are killed every year in Japan.

[jadeyes914]

@alsiyonealternate

because they are being stupid and stubborn

[BlueVoiceOrg]

@alsiyonealternate The actual number of dolphins killed in Japan each year is closer to 18,000.

[mysterypersonbc]

@BlueVoiceOrg Yeah sure that many dolphins? Can you give me the proof?
