Dolphin Hunting

The story of how this film of the barbaric killing and subsequent butchering of dolphins was made — together with the resulting sale of their meat that massively exceeds Japanese and international limits for mercury content — is told here

This isn't the first time that I had heard about the slaughter of Dolphins in Japan.

My anger about this subject is based on the cruelty of the slaughter and how unnecessary it is. Considering that the meat is also considered to be unhealthy (Wiki Page , News report Taiji officials: Dolphin meat 'toxic waste' ) it boggles my mind as to why this happens.

It's a crying shame that these things continue to happen in this modern day and age. With so many other, safer, food alternatives why do some people feel the need to continue with such barbaric practices?

I've seen some footage before and it's just horrifying (sp?)! It actually brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it :(

horrifying is correct, both for spelling and feeling!

(Firefox has an automatic spell checker extension. It's very useful)
