In my opinion the Japanese Population is living in a out dated time.
They were raised on generations of history dating back even before the 1800's that they still believe at heart is acceptable to do these things that they do.
It may be a antique way of life....But for one of the most Technologically Advanced countries they clearly know and understand that what they are doing not only angers the entire world just like Faroe Island does,
But they also clearly exhibit the need to continuously LIE to us.
They claim research yet I myself downloaded a PDF from the Institute of Cetacean Research that states clearly they will anonymously send a price list for small cut whale meat...
Now I can only ask this in stating that....
What givers them the right and authority to blatantly lie to the entire world and they treat us Whale and Aquatic Warriors like were the bad guys....
NO.
We state clearly what our intent is,
We clearly state we will not FALTER, So How are we the monsters?
We aren't the nation lying to the world so we can have a rare delicacy THAT IS NOT EVEN MEANT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.
They are cruel to these creatures and I honestly believe that they are even show signs of racism to anyone that's not Japanese....
They clearly do this mocking and laughing from the decks of their ships...
Why are we not trying to determine if there are alternative motives for them to continue to treat these animals and us Activists in this manner.
Its asinine to believe these lies any longer....If its not a racist motive,
Then what else could it be? Sport? To anger the world intentionally?
To show the world that they believe they have the right to commit any immoral crime? None of that really even matters...
WHAT MATTERS IS THAT THEY JUST NEED TO STOP RIGHT NOW...
NO MORE...JAPAN YOUVE SHOWED US HOW HEARTLESS AND CRUEL YOU ARE....
ISNT THAT ENOUGH? WHY DO YOU NOT WANT YOUR KIDS TO ENJOY THE WONDERS OF THE EARTH????
MAKES NO SENSE....CLEARLY
TOU MAKE MORE THEN ENOUGH MONEY OTHER WAYS AND JAPAN YOU ALREADY HAVE A FAT BANK ACCOUNT SO WHY ARE YOU CONTINUOSLY MURDERING MY FRIENDS FOR A DOLLAR.
I have the answer for that...
You are a cruel and rude continent that holds no concern for what or who you hurt....
And I will spend every dying breath fighting you until your doors are closed for good and your all in a worse spot in life then your bank accounts allow you to be now.
GOD SAVE THE AQUATIC FRIENDS WE FIGHT SO HARD TO PROTECT...
FOR THE OCEANS AND ITS INHABITANTS...
Thank you for allowing me to vent.
Harsh as it may have sounded that is what lies in my heart. Truly heartbroken

My opinion on the murdering of dolphins/whales etc. has always been it's wrong for years and years. They have the same brain/intelligence as us. they just live somewhere else:)

Absolutely NOT OK to kill or harm Dolphins or ANY animal!!!. All life is precious and have their own right to live out their lives. and we have no right to interfere or determine their fait.

Please STOP and do NOT build a Dolphin Zoo in Taji. Even though I don't agree with it, it is standard practice here in Hawaii to offer both LAND and SEA (by boat) tours of dolphin and whale watching. I think you would make a lot more money with boat tours, swim tours (with wetsuit) and land based tours. Showing these beings in their natural environment is a better show than herding them into a cove, killing some, keeping others, then putting them in a torture tank until they die. DO TOURS! Also, if you want a Public Relations BOOM and LOTS and LOTS of good business, TELL THE WORLD TAIJI HAS CHANGED and will now conduct Tours instead of killing and trapping dolphins! Take people to see them.

Nothing is OK about Japan's dolphin -- or whale -- hunting.
This torture-murder is the shame of Japan.
Japan should not have been "honored" as the host of the 2020 Olympic Games In order to be honored, first behave with honor.
And now, to clean up for the Olympic Games,
Japan is murdering dogs and cats from the streets
Sending them to death as soon as they are picked up.
So Japan has added dog and cat torture-murder to dolphin and whale torture-murder.
Japan is a nation in shame and of shame.
A nation dirty with cruelty and the blood of our sibling species.

Stop dolphin hunting.

This is not the kind of behaviour expected of one of, if not, the premier example of humane people in the east.
Like I said, there is no question Dolphins are very sentient beings.
With all we know about them, they are closer to humans in terms of feelings etc.
than any other animal.
Westerners look to Japan as head and shoulders above the rest of the Eastern cultures when it comes to morals and being modern.
Killing dolphins is not an acceptable practice anywhere but a third-world country.
