I wonder what whale and dolphin taste like? The Japanese really do enjoy the finer things in life

End this bullshit with the whale and dolphin hunting, the most bullshit part is they use the guise of research for this bullshit.

Dolphins are have language and fuck for fun.

We shouldn't be killing them for food or imprisoning them for entertainment.

They also puff puff pass pufferfish around to get high.

What aquariums are buying these dolphins? Do they mean like those museums for marine life? Or privately owned aquariums in people's houses?

They are shipped all over the world, mostly for parks that offer a dolphin experience to swim with them. Most dolphins and whales people go see were once free, now they are kept in horrid conditions just to please people.

A few are sold to private aquariums (owned by billionaires, I guess) but they are mostly sold to public aquariums and marine circuses such as Seaworld.

From the Sea Shepherd site:

The marine aquariums that purchase these captured dolphins are complicit in the slaughter, and any person that patronizes these seaquariums are also complicit in these brutal killings. If you pay admission to such an establishment, you are helping to kill dolphins and whales. It’s as simple as that.

There are nine Taiji dolphins now in Egypt. Four are being held in very poor conditions. They are actually being kept in a private swimming pool. There are five more dolphins from Taiji that have been shipped to Egypt in the last few days.

Other Taiji dolphins have been shipped to Mexico, Turkey, Dubai, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea. Many have gone to the 50 Japanese marine aquarium facilities.

In past years, Miami Seaquarium, Sea World, and Indianapolis Zoo have received captured dolphins. This is no longer happening. Or is it?

And apparently the United States Navy has purchased dolphins from Japan to be trained for military purposes like guarding ports and planting mines.

Sea World has publicly condemned The Cove, and they have stated as nonsense that Sea World would purchase dolphins from Taiji.

Yet just this year Sea World applied for a permit to import a pilot whale from Japan.

I see no reason why people wishing to buy dolphins have to source them from mass killings.

Tastes like chicken. What else?

Never took my kids to a circus while they were little.

Im glad now, that we never went to an aquarium or Sea World sort of thing either.
