You all still don't get it, eating dolphin meat damages an animal and damages a human. Eating live monkey brains damages one thing not two. And yes somethings are cultural. The only issue with it being called cultural or traditional in this case is that such a statement is inaccurate. I don't want to explain it as well as the movie does because I don't feel like writing a ten page paper. I wanted a discussion not a sideshow.
 
Shut this thing down!

You say it's not cultural, feel free to post up a link. No, I am not watching the movie because I don't buy into propaganda. I've read about this on sites from CNN and several other outlets and they all make mention of the tradition going back hundreds of years, primarily in small towns and villages. Dolphins are also taken to make fertilizer and oil.

No one is being uncivil here.... why shut it down?
I am thinking he cannot figure out a way to break the argument.Taco my man all is good, you have an opinion on what you would like to see done, however I think folks here are telling you it is not for you or anyone else to decide. If you know about it then the people that are buying it probably do to and it is up to them to stop or if they want to continue.

The only real basis for any type of change, is that these are wild animals, and their population numbers. One of the posted articles, I think reef's said that Japan allows up to 20,000 annually, and about 1,300 are taken annual at 'The Cove.' That seems like a lot for a slow reproducing, near the top pf the food chain animal. My guess is that while that may seem like a big number, if the Japanese were hurting their population numbers, we would be hearing about that, instead of a weaker argument of how intelligent dolphins are.
 
However, if it's found that they are decreasing the population, regardless of any heritage/cultural meaning, then something must be done.
