You are truly ignor­ant.
Let’s talk about the Japan­ese per­spect­ive for a second, it’s about pride and not allow­ing the West­ern world to point fin­gers in their dir­ec­tion without a fight.
In fact, they called dol­phin killing “pest con­trol”.… there is obvi­ously no sci­entific merit behind that what­so­ever. If you were intel­li­gent enough to do some research there are such incred­ibly high levels of Mer­cury in dol­phin meat that there is a good chance dur­ing this con­sump­tion your blood will be full of merc. pois­on­ing. In fact I would sug­gest you get a blood test just to find out what’s going into your body.
By the way I think many people miss the point we aren’t PETA PUSHING JUNKIES, we are try­ing to let you know that not only are you harm­ing your body and killing an intel­li­gent spe­cies, you are driv­ing an eco­nomy that is unne­ces­sary cruel. Also, IWC received such little sup­port in their whal­ing mis­sion that they had to bribe third world coun­tries to vote yes for this con­tinue.
Yes in North Amer­ica we mass pro­duce chick­ens and cows stuff them with corn and add hor­mone after hor­mone to them but that isn’t right either.
You have every right to con­sume dol­phin meat, but you’re ignor­ance is quite sad.
Cruelty and unjus­ti­fied slaughter are no more accept­able then mass genocide.
