Killer closing remarks:

"We'd like to make efforts to eliminate the number of deaths for fiscal 2012, too," Hayashi said.

The museum also houses 453 fish covering 52 species and 205 invertebrates from 35 species.

Taiji is well known for its tradition of dolphin and whale hunting, and its annual dolphin slaughter has drawn criticism and protests from environmental activists around the world.

This story got me thinking.
You know how the groupies who followed the Grateful Dead were called Deadheads, following on from that logic would mean the groupies (on both sides) of this issue should be called Moby Dickheads.

Another question requiring greater enlightenment than I possess...just as U.S. presidents are more than likely to have names that are euphemisms for genitalia, why are famous whales always given names that are euphemisms for penises? (Moby Dick, Free Willy)...

Let's not even mention sperm whale.

Since Michael Jackson did the soundtrack for "Free Willy" I always thought Willy represented his big blotchy vitiligo dick and that the story was a metaphor for his desire to have his dick freed from his trousers by a little white boy.

Don't forget that once he'd freed that willy, it ended up costing him a hell of a lot of money....
