Japanese police said Tuesday they had arrested US animal rights activist Ric O'Barry, who trained dolphins for the TV show "Flipper", near the town of Taiji as it kicked off its controversial dolphin hunt.
Bad weather pushed back the first dolphin-killing of the six-month season which opens on September 1 every year, a local fisheries association official said.
O'Barry, 75, was arrested Monday for allegedly failing to carry his passport after being stopped by police.
"We had a report that he was drinking alcohol and driving, so officers were dispatched to find him and check his breath," a local police spokesman told AFP.
"He smelled like alcohol, but the reading on the (breathalyzer) was not high."
Police took him into custody for not having a passport in his possession, the spokesman said.
Somebody recognized him and called the cops

In short, the argument is that killing a cetacean is no different than killing a humanoid, and indeed, worse because they are smarter than we are (which does raise the point of why they keep returning to the Taiji area ).

Not so fast.
Humans keep returning to Mecca every year, where they get crushed to death in some way or another...
