Dolphin Gets Artificial Fin

Fuji the 37 year-old dolphin is the proud owner of the world's first artificial fin.

Tyre manufacturing company has come to the rescue of Fuji the dolphin who was stricken by a mysterious life threatening illness and lost her fin. She caught a disease that begun gradually rotting her tail and her tail had to be amputated to save her life. For awhile the now 37-year old Fuji survived without a fin, but her lack of exercise and weight gain proved problematic. A friend of the handler's working at one of Japan's leading tyre makers, Bridgestone Corp, offered to make them an artificial tail fin for Fuji, the first of its kind in the world.

Fucking japanese bastards - they show not how the capture and kill the others!

fucking awesome
