'Heroes' Actress Hayden Panettiere In Dolphin Cull Clash
TV star Hayden Panettiere has been involved in a violent confrontation with Japanese fishermen as she tried to disrupt their annual dolphin slaughter.

The 18-year-old actress, who stars in TV blockbuster Heroes, paddled out on a surfboard in an attempt to reach a pod of dolphins to stop them being driven into a nearby cove and killed.

But the six surfers, from Australia and the United States, were intercepted by a fishing boat before they could reach the dolphins.

The fishermen used the boat's propellers to block their way and at one point struck out with a boathook.

It was an ugly and potentially life-threatening confrontation that lasted more than 10 minutes before the surfers were forced to return to the beach.

This shit upsets me for days. I fucking hate Japanese people sometimes.

Save the dolphins, save the world?

The Sea Shepherd organization reports that some of the meat from these dolphins will be fed to school children in Japan. It is also reported that the meat has significantly high levels of methyl mercury. So not only do they create a PR nightmare for themselves but they also are reported to feed the toxic meat to children.

Sorry, but it's kind of amusing to see those rich american kids crying because of some animals. FFS. People are actually dying all over the world, and you are crying because the cutesy dolphin dies?

Emperor, everything moved in slow motion on this news story. When I first saw it mentioned, the pictures made it seem as if she had just wandered over to Japan for a beach party so I just tagged the news onto Taro's Taiji thread. You found the video before it had been uploaded to YouTube (well spotted) and suddenly it was clear she was actively protesting. It's probably worth leaving this YouTube version on the front page and then merging the two threads later.

In hunting whale or dolphin,
Euro-American(or whole world except Japan) suddenly lose its logical thinking and get to be almost religious.
I think it is extraordinary mysteious.
You dudes belong to a new religion worshipping whale or dolphin as a god?
Huh?
No one can absolutely blame hunting or eating dolphin itself.
This is a culture of rural Japan.
You dudes can blame the excess of hunting.
idiot

It is also reported that the meat has significantly high levels of methyl mercury. So not only do they create a PR nightmare for themselves but they also are reported to feed the toxic meat to children.

Have the ding dongs in Sea Shepherd thought far enough along to determine where this significantly high level of methyl mercury originates? It would seem that it could only be from the fish that the dolphins eat, since that's about all they eat. Then, it would follow that since they eat most any fish, it would mean that the Japanese are feeding toxic meat to their children every time they serve fish. Could this be what they are intending to say?

Does anyone know where you can buy dolphin meat ??

do u think people actually eat this ??

[Buraku]

do u think people actually eat this ??

It mostly found in school canteens, a bunch of Japanese schoolchildren got sick a few weeks ago after eating Dolphin that contained toxic levels of mercury. Dolphin is hard to find but Whale meat is everywhere, if you look around enough you might find some endangered species inside on of those whale burgers, but of course we all know these creatures are hunted for 'research purposes'

According to this article in the Japan Times, " Taiji officials: Dolphin meat 'toxic waste': Assembly pair break taboo, warn of acute mercury risk in school lunches " ( http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fe20070801a1.html ), the "Gyokyo supermarket in Taiji and Super Center Okuwa in the nearby city of Shingu".

If you want to try whale meat, there's a place in Shibuya called Ganso Kujiraya: http://www.kujiraya.co.jp/index.html

Sod the Dolphins. Just because they are cute, people believe them to be worth saving more than any other fish? What about the cute blue fin tuna?

Why do people get so worked up about dolphins, and yet they dont give a sod about their fellow Humans?

There are kids in Burma being recruited into the army, people going hungry all over the world, people in Chernobyl with huge problems.....

Forget the Dolphins, save the humans.

We may well be a virus, but as a species and being present on the planet at the top of the food chain, one would tend to believe that brings a few privileges don't you think?

Nature features survival of the fittest and every species consumes another. Normally, most people and animals find that it is better to eat than be eaten...

There have been literally thousands of species that have appeared and disappeared before the human race even arrived and there will be more. Even if the human race were to disappear, which I highly doubt, but whichever it may be, Mother Nature will keep chugging along, regardless of greenpeace and Al Gore's Nobel Prize.

The same guys who have no qualms about insisting that local school children be given regular servings of mercury-contaminated meat in their lunches?

The local politician, Junichiro Yamashita, who probably has guaranteed the loss of his seat - not to mention virtual shunning of his family by the entire village of Taiji for his whistleblowing actions gets my award for someone with integrity:

Junichiro Yamashita, "Mercury Alarm on Dolphin Meats"
Time: 2007 Sep 03 15:00 - 16:00
Summary:

Press Conference,
Junichiro Yamashita,
Taiiji Assemblyman, Wakayama Prefecture
Language:

The speech and Q & A will be in Japanese with English Interpretation.
Description:

Junichiro Yamashita
Taiji Assemblyman, Wakayama Prefecture

15:00-16:00 Monday, September 3, 2007
(The speech and Q & A will be in Japanese with English interpretation)
In an unprecedented departure from tradition and unwritten policy, two Taiji Assemblymen have broken this whaling town's code of silence to campaign against the serving of what they describe as toxic dolphin meat in local school lunches. Independents Junichiro Yamashita and Hisato Ryono recently revealed laboratory data taken from random supermarket-purchased dolphin meat which contained over 10 times the government's limit for both mercury and methyl mercury. Although local supermarkets immediately removed dolphin meat from their shelves, the city is moving ahead with plans to build a new dolphin processing facility while expanding the dolphin meat lunch programs to surrounding school districts.

Mercury poisoning received worldwide attention during the 1950s when the tragic consequences in the city of Minamata first came to light. Many governments now routinely issue health bulletins advising pregnant women and children to avoid foods contaminated with mercury and other toxins.

In a nation particularly nervous about the safety of its food supply, the complete stonewalling by Japanese government agencies and the media on the issue now prompts Yamashita to bring his case to the attention of the foreign press.

Although unable to attend Yamashita's session, Dr. Shigeo Ekino of Kumamoto Medical Science University, known for his breakthrough studies of Minamata victims' brains, will be available to respond to questions by email.

So, wait a minute. The town's children have been eating dolphin meat at least since the 1960's (when they apparently switched from whale to dolphin) and haven't had any side effects? There should be at least five generations of people in Taiji-cho with acute mercury poisoning if there's truth in the mercury content. Are the victims all buried in the foundation of the soon-to-be-built processing factory or something?

Forget the Dolphins, save the humans.

You seem to think that we are capable of saving ourselves, or even worthy of it. Humans aren't "cute". Dolphins on a sign or shirt make everyone go, "Aw, how cute.". But, humans, especially those starving humans who are covered in flies, no one is gonna get any play wearing a shirt with one of them on it.
However, if you care about humans so much, adopt a starving child.

[Takechanpoo]

Anyway I persistently understand there are many madnesses who unconsciousnessly belong to a perverted cult worshipping dolphin or whale as a god.
What dolphin or whale is cute and have high intelligence is NOT related to whether human can hunt and eat it or not.
So these dudes approve discrimination between low intelligence and high intelligence or between ugly and cute?
If one who have low intelligence and ugly, we are allowed to do everything to them?
As long as these racist dudes exist, we Japanese will not absolutely quit hunting and eat whale or dolphin even if world impose economic sanctions to Japan.
Remember that, world.

If the world imposed economic sanctions on Japan, all you'd be eating is whale and dolphin. Japan would last about a week, as all the obaasans, OLs, and high school girls would be crying about being unable to get the new Vuitton bag. Harpoons away.
