Dolphin Massacre In Japan
February 23rd, 2007
Written By: Adam Sussman
Warning, the images in this video are highly disturbing. This seems to be making its way around the web but do keep in mind while watching of our beef slaughtering plants.
Update: 4/13/07 - I understand people are emotional over this video and want to express themselves. I am all for people commenting on this Blog and I hate to censor. But some comments are extremely hostile and inappropriate for the mass audience I have visiting this blog. If you want me to post your comments, keep it clean otherwise I have to delete them.

I actually feel sorry for the these dolphins. I do love dolphins, and will never eat them. But still that’s how this world goes. We also murder other many kind of living things and eat them with delight.
March 3rd, 2007 20:45
I am sorry, but Japan is a bitch. Killing innocent dolphins. Making them suffer. letting children watch. It’s pathetic. What has the world come to? Then on top of all that, polluting the water with their blood. But seriously WHAT THE FUCK?! I am surprised it is not illegal. This got me teary-eyed

I will never buy japanese car

I can’t imagine that these people can still sleep ar night.
This should be world-news.
Is Greepeace aware of the awfull dolphin-slaughter?
What can we do to stop this from happening?
Should we fund the industrie in Japan, so they no longer need to do this anymore?

Isn’t it sick how humans treat the creatures around us. This is such a horrible way to die and it’s happening to dolphins, cows, lambs, goats, pigs, chickens, even cats and dogs in some countries. It makes me sick. and i hope the people who torture these animals get what they deserve. These animals just want to live in peace just like us humans. Karma is a bitch, so to every fisherman and to every slaughter house butcher, beware because god has a plan for you.

This makes me sick. These dolphins shouldent be treated this way. It makes me want to puke. The way they drag the dolphin with a truck, thats just so fucking cruel. This is too inhumane and just disgusting. Something needs to be done about this.
March 13th, 2007 12:09
When I saw the dolphin being dragged across the road, being pulled by the truck I started to cry because the dolphin must be in real pain and it’s really REALLY REALLY cruel to just let them die like that. Japan’s rulers are total bastards and they should all go to hell. It’s too mean and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t fucking like it if they were dragged across concrete by a truck and just stabbed so that their blood will leave their body and they would die really slowly and painfully.

When I saw this video i was shocked…. I was suprised that things like this exist in our world. At the end of the video i was completely at lost of words. But i realized something. That this is one of the few problems we have in our world. Though this video may be shocking and extremely cruel, we even you as humans take a the blame everyone of us. Don’t forget the animals we kill every year to feed us. At an average day your into pepperoni pizza, meat from cows and pigs. Though do some of us know what it took to get it? Do we think how the cow was slaughterd to get the meat? No we don’t…. not all of us. I, myself am one of those people. I wish that people who see this video don’t discriminate. Massacre slaughters in Japan doesn’t mean they are the ones who only do it and have a sick society. Don’t forget to look everywhere around us from the streets if New York to wars around us. There is no need to fight while we have already so much problems in the world. We don;t live in a perfect world. Not all of us is basicly a hero.

March 27th, 2007 06:19
These are sentient animals. They have language after a fashion. They form communities. They think. They are not stupid cattle, unaware of what’s happening to them.
Even so, we butcher cattle and other food animals in the most humane way possible to minimize suffering. The fishermen in this video seemed to purposely inflict as much suffering as possible, as if they were just fish.
But why be surprised? These are the same people who tortured and butchered humans on a massive scale during the last world war.Why would they care what happens to Dolphins.
Yes it made me sick and I’m no animal rights activist.
March 29th, 2007 15:27
It has been sooo hard to watch this clip I was stunned,disgusted,terrified and cried my eyes out! That this happens in our soo called modern world! Modern my ass, it’s the same as centuries ago!!! These people are known to be cruel! as are the chinese I just remember not very long ago to see a reportage on tv concerning the treatment of dogs and cats who are used for the fur made into coats etc for human kind! spoilt brads of woman choosing what they would like by best from their rich hubbies! It is all to sickening for words. The Dolphins video has been hitting me hard I did write to Sky News and BBC If more people would do so they can give it plenty of publicity, because many people do/did not know like me and so many people around me! Write to the news agancies to get it plenty of publicity! Keep signing the petition on;

March 31st, 2007 17:18
Watching that video made me want to grab everyone there by there FUCKING BOLLOCKS and personnally ripping the fucking skin off of there fucking scanky bones. i would so happily kill every mother fucking one of them. i would atke all of those fuckers on and i would completely savage them. i would make them wish they where never brought fucking screaming into this world.
April 4th, 2007 12:15
I’m on my work computer, so I can’t see the video. But yes, this is a terrible thing. And yes, i am an activist. (oddly enough, I’m in the navy as well) I’ve been all around the world, and sadly, I’ve seen things just as, if not crueler than this. Do you know what they do in vivisection labs even here in America, what they do to monkeys in the Phillipines, and even to young girls in Cambodia? It makes me sick that so many of you can cause such an outcry of pain and bewilderment when you know nothing of what goes on in the rest of the world. Or are you just turning a blind eye to creatures that you don’t think are “sentient” or even cute enough to be worth the effort to give your support to save. Just because animals can’t speak or tell you that something hurts, doesn’t mean that they don’t feel pain.
And, for all of you saying that Japanese people are sick because of a few that did this to dolphins, are complete morons. It’s the exact same thing as saying that all americans are sick because of one serial killer, or that all Germans are nazis because of the holocaust, or that all people from the middle east are terrorists because of the taliban, or that all people in south america are drug dealers because of cartels in Colombia.
Oh and Monica, (I do hope you come back to this page) I do hope you can do something about how incredibly stupid your comment sounds. This article is about a few Japanese people, so how the hell can you say that you’re never eating Chinese food again? No, they din’t sell rats to us here in the states, thanks to the Food and Drug Administration regarding imports. It must be nice to be so incredibly ignorant, thinking you’re right all the time. feel free to visit my site and email me with any arguements if you feel so inclined.
April 6th, 2007 12:01
It’s so hard to see how these fucking japanese treat all these dolphins. And it’s the same for red tuna, whales….We will need to blast them with nuclear bombs and clear this country which rips all the sea world!
April 7th, 2007 05:46
the japanese people so stupid!!!!!!
They don1t know what are tha dolphins…
The most beautiful and friendly animals on this planet!!!
I hate Japanese people
April 7th, 2007 12:25
That’s really very bad, killing innocent dolphins. Japan govt has to stop this in-human act. JAPAN PLEASE DONT DO IT.
April 7th, 2007 13:00
You fucking useless pieces of shit I would love to see you fucking butches treated just like you’s do to the dolphins. You’s are all a waste of human life not fit to be used to wipe my ass!!!!!!
April 13th, 2007 17:33
I understand some people feel sorry about dolphins, but can you explain why humans are not allowed to kill dolphins? They are not endangered. You guys are all vegetarians and never kills any animals? I feel all the cows and chikens you eat are as pity as these dolphins. Is greenpeace aware of American slaughters who kills innocent Iraq people?
April 14th, 2007 09:59
these japs should burn in hell i wish in ww2 the us blew the fishermen up so bad that there soul was erased from existence! jap fisherman suck balls kills the fisherman not dolphins!!!!
Ps: fisherman are douchebags
April 16th, 2007 10:40
i see people relate these massacres to that of cows and chickens in america all too often. no one can argue (with any intelligence) that cows and chickens have as developed brains as dolphins. a dolphins cerebral cortex (the part of the brain that thinks and feels emotions) has more folds (folds ina cerebral cortex indicate intelligence) than that of a human brain. theoretically cows and chickens have no thought process. also, cows and chickens are farmed for slaughter, thus, not threatening extinction to their species. THERE ARE NO DOLPHIN FARMS!!
April 21st, 2007 12:45
Oh my gosh…I kept on crying when I saw this video. I don’t know, I was speechless when I saw this cruelty to those dolphins. But have you ever thought of this? Many generations of humans and animals are created. They replace the ones that are dead. But there is one link that stops this. If all the members of one kind are slaughtered, there is no way to recreate them. Cows and chickens are a different story, for you people who keep on idiotically talking constantly about them. Anyways, Japanese people have no right to brutally kill them unless it’s for a significant cause. But those people have no mercy for those animals =(
_______________________________________________
Cows and chickens have a major offspring. I mean, dolphins just have maybe about 2 babies. But chickens? They have about 12 eggs that likely hatch to create 12 baby chicks. Why do you think that farmers don’t kill the chicks, but kill the chickens? (They are creating a new generation) And cows are a major animal in America. They are the source for milk. So they are use to a MINIMUM and use essentially.
I hope you people stop blabbering about cow and chicken massacres and start talking about the importance like Eagles, Rhinoceros, Turtles, Wolves, Zebras, Crocodiles, Dolphins, etc.
May 8th, 2007 18:47
I feel so bad for these beutiful creatures and how they are being treated.I think all japanese people should fucking burn in hell and be slaughted the way these poor animals were.this was truely the most sick footage i have ever seen.
May 12th, 2007 00:54
It is so ugly and sad. Dolphins are worth much more alive, especially to the planet. like humans they are intellegent but are also pure and good in their nature. That’s why it’s so wrong.
May 17th, 2007 12:40
i love marine life. and i dont have a problem with people eating animals. i have a problem with the amount they eat and the way the kill the animals. take a steer for example, at a good slaughterhouse, the steer is dropped off into a clean stall. it does not have any smell. then pushed up a hall way into a small stall. the lights are turned out and a gun instantly kills the steer. the steer never saw it coming. but when you drop off a steer into a bad slaughterhouse, it smells awful, the place where you leave the steer is dirty, maybe knee high in feces and mud, then the steer is forced into a stall and sees it coming. it sucks for them.
i wish that the japanese would reduce their numbers and kill much more humanely. i think a punishment for killing anything inhumanely should be that that person or 1 of his/her family member killed the same way.
May 30th, 2007 08:48
this is horrible i dont know how they could do that to the dolphins. I dont know how they could cut the dolphins throat and watch it die a slow and painfull death. The japanese dont need to eat everything
May 31st, 2007 22:48
I have lived in Japan for the last 2 years and 9 months. I knew seasonal dolphin hunts or culls were done in a few rural coastal towns and villages on the main island of Honshu and that it is a 400 year old tradition. However I had no idea about the way they are actually hunted and killed until recently. I have discussed this with my Japanese friends and they have had similar reactions to many of the people who have commented here. They are shocked, horrified and ashamed. Many Japanese people have no idea how the dolphins are hunted and killed and presume it must be done in the quickest and most humane way possible. They are horrified, shocked and embarrassed about to discover otherwise. Japan has a huge population and there are loads of different kinds of people here. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending this in any way but I just wanted to say that it is only a few Japanese people in specific areas that kill dolphins and consume dolphin meat, not everyone. There is also another side to this. Many of the dolphin hunting fishermen would go back to catching lobsters and crabs if aquariums and marine parks didn’t pay premium prices for live capture and delivery of dolphins. Several representatives from major aquariums around the world have been seen on the beacheds of the “killing coves” picking out the dolphins they want for their establishments prior to the rest of the dolphins being slaughtered. Apparently this is where the big money is, not in the sale of dolphin meat to a select few local supermarkets. Just wanted to add those points.
June 1st, 2007 08:23
well, maybe the japanese people who are not killing the dolphins should maybe try to stop the ones who do. If no one tries to stop them, then they are just going to keep kalling the dolphins!
June 1st, 2007 08:33
I agree with “wanahockaloogie” because if no one tries to help, then nothing is going to be done about it and the fisherman will think that its ok when it should actually be illegal. the fisherman should burn in hell. that half to be sick minded in order to slit that dolphins throat and not even care it makes me sick
June 15th, 2007 09:55
Some americans these days just piss me off.
I’m partly Japanese and I think that this treatment is horrible.
You guys stop steriotyping us Japanese as ALL dolphin eaters!
Oh sure, Japanese people killing dolphins–
WHILE AMERICANS MURDER CIVILIANS IN IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!
you people expect japanese civilians to do something about this? NOTHING WE CAN DO SO STFU!
Some dumb americans not looking at their OWN countries mistakes and crimes…EVER HEARD OF KFC OR ANIMAL CRUELTY TESTING LABS??? YEAH LETS SEE YOU GUYS DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!
June 15th, 2007 09:56
Just don’t act like FREEDOM FIGHTERS
June 18th, 2007 04:16
This is nothing compared to what the Japanese did to humans in Nanjing, Philippines, Guam, South Korea, etc. during WW2.
July 10th, 2007 09:35
I don’t understand why people keep posting “omg1. dis is realityy. humanz eat cows, chicken, etc111″
This is more than eating animals out of necessity. A gunshot to the head is a lot more human than having your throat slit, and left to bleed to death… or suffocate. Which ever comes first.
Killing animals for food is not wrong. Allowing an animal to be tortured like this is what’s wrong.
July 10th, 2007 09:36
* humane
July 16th, 2007 07:41
That video was because of something that happened where dolphins were interrupting the japanese fishing trade, and eating all of the fish that ware there. dolphin meat is NOT sold so do not make up stories about it. This video simply proves that people will believe anything when they know nothing. school children are not encouraged to look at this kind of thing, they are not heartless, in fact they are more sentimental and self concious than any american i have ever met. just because you dont understand something, dont call a WHOLE country heartless. thats like saying that all americans are stupid and selfish and cause the death of other countries because they dont give their paychecks to starving countries.
August 5th, 2007 06:35
The Japanese are a backward people and this is without dispute.
The only way they ever move forward is to copy and steal other country’s technology. A case of monkey see monkey do. They have no compassion for their own people and families so how do you expect them to have any for the wildlife that belongs, not only to them, but to the rest of the World. How can anyone expect a nation that sees the human foetus as a culinary delicacy, to ever act in a truly civilised manner. The Japanese race is probably one of the weirdest and most barbaric races on the planet. They openly flout International law and hunt thousands of whales every year. They claim research purposes but, as everyone knows this is a crock of bullshit.They claim that ancient traditions give them the right to destroy the whales and dolphins as they do. Well I have travelled all over the World and I am sick of hearing how tradition is blamed for such things. If such traditions exist they are based upon cruelty and are steeped in backward thinking. The best way to tackle the Jap destruction of whales and dolphins is by direct action. Their fleet of boats and ships should be sunk immediately. As I write this note I am watching the horrific documentary called Why Dolphins Cry, on the Nat Geo Wild channel. If you get the chance, you should see this film, and then you will understand why I call for such drastic action.
September 27th, 2007 01:13
These things never come out in the Japnese media. In Japan, only few english newspaper reported things like these but never the Japanese one. So how can most Japanese know about these stuffs where most of them have difficulties in english language.? In the stores, everything is neatly packed. All evidences of violence is nowhere to be seen.
I know that each countries has its own defect, but let us focus on these issues of dolphins and whales here. Let us not justify these actions by throwing stones at each others.
October 2nd, 2007 00:12
WOW GUYS! STOP BEING SO FUCKING IGNORANT! Japanese people dont kill dolphins this way anymore (havent for many years), but in a more humane way of driving a stake into the dolphins brain. There are also people justifying the slaughter of chickens and cows due to them not having as sophisticated brains as dolphins do. This is just like saying that autistic people can be killed. Who cares if they die!? Theyre mentally retarded! NO! That is not right! Just because a species is dumber than another, doesnt justify the massacre of the dumber species.
I admit that the Rape of nanking or all the other stuff is not right. But what American soldiers are doing in Iraq (rape, murder) is also no acceptable! According to posts/comments on this site/ other sites, it is safe for me to say that all Americans are hypocritical rapists…But I dont.
Come on guys, grow up, be informed! Dont be ignorant…
October 17th, 2007 15:04
When me and my wife were swimming in San Diego California we were so happy to see Dolphins swimming by. Those are one of the most elegant creatures we have ever seen.
The Japanese must stop. This is totally babaric act and should not exist in this world, especially in Japan which always labels itself as an advanced and cilvilized nation.
October 18th, 2007 03:41
well who cares everyone is still buying hondas and toyotas
November 1st, 2007 16:10
If you really want to stop this refuse to purchase any Japanese goods, the japanese govt would soon take notice. Go on lets all do it! These fishermen must surely be ignorant to the intelligence of the dolphin. What a sadistic and cruel way to slaughter an animal surely they could be humanely killed. A line should be drawn, these creatures a greater right to life than than this sick perverse humanity
November 1st, 2007 16:54
All the people who have expressed outrage by in turn want to brutalize others is a crazy and ignorant thing to do. Do you not understand how that sounds? “I’d like to kill them because they killed the dolphins..etc.” That is hypocrocy.
I am very upset about this dolphin slaughter though, but please, people, do not act in kind! Also, to Jackie, saying we are ignorant because there are other atrosities going on in the world that we “don’t know about”. Well, duh, that’s the clincher there. If we knew about like this story, then maybe there would be the same kind of outrage.
This has be exposed so we do now know about it and can express our outrage over such horrible mistreatment of intelligent mammals. This is just horrible.
November 1st, 2007 17:10
Firstly, thank you so much for bringing this issue into the light for all to see.
There is a special place in eternal hell for
these so called men.
I can only urge everyone to Boycott Japanese goods and encourage others to do so.
International Humane Society efforts must unite to force them to end this massacre of this highly intelligent animals.
The saddest part is that the intelligence of these animals is higher than the savages that are killing them.
November 1st, 2007 17:21
OMG! This is horrible! HOw could they do this! I mean, I love Japan and the Japanese people(especially the one’s who make mangas) but what the fuck is this! I hate thes stupid fisher men peoples. Save The Dolphins!
November 2nd, 2007 17:02
Brutality is a part of our nature but so is shame. Understanding this shame will help eradicte this and other atrocities we as an animal commit.
November 5th, 2007 02:05
I understand that some japanese don’t know or don’t like what is going on with the slaughtering of dolphins. Its the fishermen who are doing this but it’s also the ignorant people who do nothing about this. There are things that we can do to try and help stop this, like siging the online petition - http://www.petitiononline.com/golfinho/ and writing a letter to the prime minister of japan or donating to any foundations which are trying to put a stop to this. Dont accuse all japanese people of being this discusting.. not all are like this. But you can help to put a permanent stop to this!!
November 5th, 2007 11:07
This story was on Inside Edition today and now that I have seen the videos I am completely outraged! This is beyond creul and something has to be done!
November 5th, 2007 12:28
it`s so cruel…why¿…we should do something!god!are many ways to eat something else.
November 5th, 2007 13:59
I used to respect the people of Japan for the way they thought of KOI so highly and they ways that they treat their KOI. Obviously that’s the only thing that they care about. After seeing that, I will never travel there. That is beyond cruelty. I used to believe that their values and beliefs in fish were so strong that nothing like this could go on. I am truly sickened by this.
November 6th, 2007 09:02
This is one of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen. Killing any species for no reason is so cruel. These dolphins live in the ocean and bother nobody. Their not violent creatures so why should we allow this to happen?!?!
November 7th, 2007 00:34
This hurts my heart in a way I can’t even express! I am so sick, the look in their eyes is more than anyone human should be able to take. This is just like those baby seals I still can’t get out of my mind, so KILLERS, DAMN YOU–DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL, YOU WILL GET YOURS SOMEDAY!!!! I WOULD RATHER SEE YOU ALL HACKED TO PIECES THAN AN INNOCENT ANIMAL, FOR YOU ARE NOT INNOCENT! WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT WHY THE WORLD IS GOING TO HELL, LETTING THIS HAPPEN IS CERTAINLY WHY IT IS DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!
November 12th, 2007 20:17
i understand why many people would be so upset at the site of this. but who are we to say that japan cannot do this? they have been killing dolphins for YEARS! why is it all of the sudden such a huge deal? do you see the hindus rebelling against the world because we eat their sacred animal? NO. and the cow is sacred to them…what is a dolphin to us? a source of entertainment. its not illegal, and the dolphins are not endangered. The only problem i see is how they go about killing the dolphins…yeah that could use some help. but unless everyone complaining is a vegetarian…just stop because your argument is not a good one. i dont mean to sound like a heartless prick, i love dolphins…but lets be serious now. what makes dolphins so much better than all of the animals we slaughter and eat? please…i really want to know.
November 18th, 2007 17:07
that is sick.
killing innocent dolphins for no absolute reason, as children walk by and see the dolphins shake and tremor? and how they drain the blood into the ocean after wards?
How sick. this should be illegal.
November 21st, 2007 16:10
i really want to help this stop they don’t deserve to die there just harmless creatures they love to play with us thats all what i always ask myself is what did they do to deserve to be killed? , why is it even legal to do that!!!! it should be ilegall it should be stop and with the help of alot of people we can make it stop!!!!!!!
November 22nd, 2007 06:45
to be fair thats how muslims and jews slaughter cows and such. why? religion, not reason. theres no reason for it. but i guess they are shielded from criticism.
November 28th, 2007 09:09
STOP DOING THIS NOW. THIS IS WRONG IN SO MANY WAYS. YOU WOULDNT LIKE IT IF WE SLOTTERED JAPANS MOST BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL. WE LOVE THIS ANIMAL AND YOU WOULD BE THE CAUSE OF ITS EXTINCTION.
January 25th, 2008 20:18
The japanese are currently killing hundreds of whales and dolphins.
They killed thousands of americans in world war 2!!
They also killed 20 million asians( chinese mainly) in the world war 2
We must fight back and bomb the shit out of Japan!!! So that justice is served
February 14th, 2008 18:15
I’m seeing a lot of hateful comments about Japan. Not only are they racist and wrong, but they show how ignorant you people are. Just when you see something like the Dolphin Massacre, you start wailing away your emotions and start pointing fingers. What about farms? I’m sure all farm animals need to die somehow so that meat can be served on a meat eater’s table?
Do you happen to know what farm animals go through in factory farming? If you’re really compassionate, stop eating meat, stop buying leather, and any animal products. Basically go VEGAN.
Otherwise, stop hating on JAPAN. This is all propaganda. There is always another side to the “truth”. Everyone should think critically.
March 5th, 2008 04:26
Well i was afer i had finished watching the video in the middle way. And i refused myself to continue this in-human curel dophin masscarre. From this video, i can deeply feel that how cruelly japanese treat other creatures other than themselves. They are so sick and i believe that if they continue doing fish killing like this, no more fish in the sea willing to swim to this stupid island country and let them all die of seafood shortage. Once again, i wanna express my strongest opinion that i am extremely hate cruelty no killing. Remember, every single life come to the world has its own right to live, human has no such an priority to take it away, not even an ant.
March 10th, 2008 15:38
I feel sorry for the innocent dolphins and it is absolutely NOT fair at all that humans should do that. I wouldn’t get all mad at Japan though, every country in this world does really cruel things to animals, and it is not fair at all because hey, what did they ever do to us? Nothing. They’ve always left humans alone unless we do something first. i think dolphin eating is mean especially when they kill them like that and then drain all the gallons of blood into the ocean. That is bad for the environment.
March 10th, 2008 15:46
P.S. NOBODY should kill ANYTHING the way those people killed those dolphins. i mean, couldn’t they just shoot them or stab them in a immediate-death place and be done? it would be much more human! they actually torture the dolphins and I’m not kidding!!!
March 23rd, 2008 18:24
Dolphins are just so damn cute. Or so they say. Slaughterhouse is in nowadays. Die, dolphins, die!
April 8th, 2008 00:03
I would like to know what whales and dolphins taste like. I want to eat them, but I suppose I would want to kill them myself so that I know the Japanese aren’t hurting them.
May 17th, 2008 19:38
omg i couldn’t even finish this video!! what the fuck??? omg i’m so mad! who the hell do these ppl think they are?? oh man as soon as i turn 18 i’m gonna be over there in a heartbeat killing all those people!! That’s sick and twisted and we DO NOT kill cows in the U.S. like that, and that’s that! shit.
June 6th, 2008 17:37
Wow, I couldn’t finish either. Horrible horrible stuff. I have eaten whale and dolphin before (I live in Japan), but I don’t think I can do it anymore after watching this.

i am japanese and live in Italy right now. i’ve lived in the States for 11 years and now i’ve been here for the last 5years. i was just watching a show on italian TV channel and saw the footage of the dolphin massacre in Japan. i truly think that not many people in Japan know this. i don’t even have any idea where this is happening. i didn’t even know that there are dolphins living close to our country. I immediately came on line to see if it was really true and found your blog. i am so hurt and upset about the whole thing and i completely understand how all the people commenting here get upset. i came online to see if there was anything i could do to help this thing but after having read all the comments, i feel like there is nothing i can do. Yes, i may be able to start a campaign to stop this but i cannot do anything about the emotional comments people are giving to this blog. all i can say is that don’t look at one thing and start picking on it. once you start giving these kind of hateful comments, it can only escalate. stop being judgmental and instead of complaining, let’s do something about it. OR, are you just going to sit there and complain about other people’s culture and judge something that you only heard once or twice? don’t you want to make some action and see it with your own eyes and try to make some change? if you are so upset about it, stop giving only comments and be responsible about having seen the footage. don’t you also want to know why these people are really doing? I don’t know what the situation they are in, so i’d very much like to know what is causing them to do this.

was doing more research and found a blog by a japanese woman on the same subject. there are many comments written by japanese people and all of them are in shock and very disappointed about this thing. they and myself have already signed up for the petition. please know that japanese people are also in shock. also found out that these dolphins are bought also by american aquariums, about 8 dolphins/year. isn’t it really important to know the entire background and situation before you judge something? i at least think so.
