Oh well, if it's tradition it must be ok!! 
Yup, I agree.Bushcraft wrote:I get your point Mith, but dolphins are highly intelligent creatures, they possess and audible language, they socialize with each other, recognize each other and they even have casual sex for fun. Dolphins, like for instance whales, elephants, the great apes are "self aware" creatures. This means that when they are herded and slaughtered every individual in the group knows what’s happening. Killing a creature like that in the way that it is done is nothing short of murder.
Besides, it’s not sustainable from a conservation perspective in the long run, unless they start "farming" these intelligent creatures
You can't really compare farming sheep to hunting whales/dolphins.
Apparently the main motivation of Japan's Cetacean hunting is to "show a finger" to the West.Flutterby wrote:Oh well, if it's tradition it must be ok!!
