Every year in October, dolphin drive hunts are conducted by small groups of Japanese fishermen. During the hunts, hundreds—sometimes thousands—of dolphins and other small cetaceans are herded into shallow bays, corralled into nets and brutally slaughtered.
More than 250 marine scientists and zoo and aquarium professionals have signed a statement saying that the hunts are an astonishingly cruel violation of any reasonable welfare standards, and should end immediately. Delegates from the group aim to meet with the Prime Minister of Japan to make him aware of the scientific and ethical basis for ending the hunts—and they need your support to do it.

OK, I will try. Animals should not be hurt. It might be encroaching on their culture however, and that might not be good.

Yes. Save the doliphins. Build the population up again. My tuna just hasn't tasted the same since they started leaving it out. We need more dolphins people! Make tuna taste good again!!

Your thoughts are noble, but shortsighted. You are not recognizing the rights and practices of other countries. This type of thinking is what gives us our "ignorant" label in other countries.
