| Dolphin hunting in Taiji (a small fishing village in Japan) attracts international criticism from many sectors. But the locals still kill the dolphin. Every September to March is the hunting season. During this time, the locals hunt the dolphins, kill and sell them. Some of the dolphins are lucky because they will be sold to the ocean museums. Just in 2007 season, 1,569 cetaceans in Taiji were killed. Last year, a documentary called The Cove won the Oscar. It describes the annual killing of dolphins at Taiji Town. I highly recommend you to watch this documentary. The dolphins' blood reddened the water. |

| Hi Charlott, you're totally right about that, I'm just wondering why did you put your post under amusement? I don't want to make a comparison because they are two separate issues, but before to find out about [tcgurl=Bear farming for bile extraction]Bear Farming[/tcgurl] I thought that dolphin hunting in Taiji was one of the worse case I ever heard but now I think that killing is better than farming .... |

The posts in the Observer are mainly about China issues. However, what I posted was about Japan. |
