Does Anything Justify the Massacre of Dolphins?

This video is about the common capture and slaughter of dolphins in small towns off the coast of Japan.

I am not opposed to killing animals (in a humane way) for food as I eat meat daily, but this is the saddest thing I have ever seen. It is like murdering your pet dog who loves you and would die for you.

The worst part is that the meat from the slaughtered dolphins is sold as "whale meat" at supermarkets in Japan. It is disheartening. It sickens me to know this occurs and to think that I could have eaten meat from one of these slaughtered dolphins without knowing it.

We can do something about this horrible problem. Please consider signing this online petition that transmits letters to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to stop the killing of dolphins and whales.

I´m not opposed also tho kill animals for food, but this is real CRUEL!!! Anyways, I do not think it will be the case of Panama´s Dolphing project. We have a good opp to get some real investment and to open some job opportunities for people without it.

It is only necessary a good goverment follow up....

As far as I know, dolphins LOVE interaction with humans, so if the aquarium project is well managed, won't be harmful for them. We've got to keep a close eye on them anyways :)
