"The dolphins make me cry...."
Worth thinking about, the “seas around Japan” are also full of runoff from gigantic volcanoes. I seriously doubt industry holds a candle against the stuff that’s already there and has been for thousands of years.
In the meantime we go to great lengths to be sure our tuna fish is dolphin free. Why can’t two fish be killed with one stone? Go back to the old dolphin-full net trawlers and reporpoise the dolphins [pun intended].
Could be.. DEMOCRATS SEEM to hate people...
especially non leftist people..
. . . recent scientific research suggests that the Japanese authorities might be endangering the health of their own children through this practice.
What research?
Dolphin meat is full of toxic mercury, cadmium, DDT and carcinogens such as dioxins and PCBs.
What does "full of" actually mean?
Some cuts of dolphin meat have more than 5,000 times the safe level of mercury.
Which cuts? How prevalent is this level in dolphin meat cuts?
Such levels can very quickly lead to severe nervous system problems and even insanity.
In the dolphins?
The dolphin meat is so toxic because the seas around Japan have become a soup of industrial wastes.
Where is the citation for this hyperbolic assertion?
And when the Japanese eat the dolphins, they progressively poison themselves.
Again, assertions without evidence.
This entire article is political propaganda.
The writer destroyed his own credibility when he mentioned DDT as a poison. It is, but only to insects. The Russians tried to poison the Ukrainian leader Yushchenko with a megadose of it. He got a skin rash. Of course, it might have worked better if Yushchenko had been an insect.
Eating apex predators is usually not a good idea as they concentrate the bad chemicals of their food victims.
More environmentalist lies!
I don’t understand how eating the dolphin is different from eating a pig or cow.
Lucky Japanese. Tuna just doesn’t taste right since they took the dolphin out of it.
