TOGETHER WE STAND: Activists including actresses Hayden Panettiere and Isabel Lucas at the site of a protest against the killing of dolphins.
So why do the Japanese kill the dolphins? Their side here:
Fishermen in Japan defend their right to hunt and kill thoursands of dolphins as 'part of their culture' as the six month so-called 'killing season' begins. Every year more than 2,000 dolphins are killed at Taijai among the 23,000 mammals slaughtered in a hunt that lasts six months. The dolphins are intercepted along their migration route and driven into a cove by fisherman who bang metal rods to frighten and confuse them according to news reports. The Japanese believe the dolphin should be treated like any other fish-- the hunt is a tradition that goes back centuries.
