i havent seen the video or anything dolphin slaughter related. the last i heard about stuff like this was when that hayden panettierre girl was detained then released in japan for protesting offshore. i dont think its any of our business the way japan lives and opperates. if they're government sees it as a major issue then they should fix it. japans a democracy isnt it? or something close to that. there was enough between US and Japan in world war 2 to last a few lifetimes. americans need to fix whats wrong with america before focusing on countries across the world.
