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.

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

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.

Hopefully all the Japanese extremists and general dumbass people out there understand now

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?
