Mahi-Mahi, fish dolphins, are the only dolphins I thought you could eat.

No wonder they don't trust us
Mahi Mahi (Coryphaena hippurus), also known as Dorado, is not actually in the dolphin family. It is in the tuna family. The name dolphin fish is just a market name.

On the main subject, that really is terrible. They sure do some strange things in Japan.

different cultures have different views. Some people understand that.

Others, like F1S200, subscribe to ethnocentrism and calls everybody else in the world "savage" and "ignorant". right.

I see that he is posing proudly in his signature with his catch. btw. Japanese dont eat cats..yes, there is a difference between Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, etc. Or maybe they are all just "orientals" to him.

No_really - you are correct.. the issue is their inhumane tactics in killing these dolphins.

Heres an interesting link to an article on the debate of eating dogs in korea.

Ohhhhh is that the excuse some "Japanese" use to eat dolphin by saying it is part of thier culture????????????

Geee an ex-girl friend of mine is Japanese and she said that eating dolphin was not part of "Japanese" culture.

And yes I do know there is a diffrence Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, etc.. Don't get bitter because you didn't like my opinion and try to put words in my mouth.

I guess I live in the U.S and we are more civilized. Maybe you are not use to it. Hopefully for your sake you 'll adjust to becoming civilized....

Oh and by the way my cathces are "ALL" legal and I pay my fishing and lobster license every year. Plus I donate money to the FWC and what ever bait/chum is left I fead it to fish and birds. I don't just take.....Thank God I live in the U.S.

I got to the part where they were cutting into the dolphins and I had to stop. Too disturbing for me.

I gotta say, a dolphin is about 100x more intelligent than a horse. seeing those photos-- though not great for my appetite-- don't disturb me quite as much as seeing a dolphin be slaughtered. yes, I rank the value of lives by intelligence, thus I don't lose sleep when I step on an ant or eat a fish. but if I ran over a dog, I'd feel awful. and I believe dolphins are more intelligent than Australian sheepdogs (which I believe are the most intelligent breed)

I cannot even click on the video. that would drive me berserk. that said, Japan won't be seeing my tourist dollars until they reform their whaling practices (ostensibly for research ), and now apparently their heartless treatment of dolphins.

Isn't mercury found in low level in nearly every fish?

At this point in the thread I now want to sign on one of those boats and buy a machete
