Red Tengu Shop > Political Stuff > Stop Dolphin Slaughter
Dolphins are being slaughtered by fishermen in Taiji Japan, every day. They sell them as whale meat in Japan. The deaths are cruel and slow. Dolphin slaughter must end now!
The fishermen in Taiji say they are doing it to get rid of "pests", but the people they work for are making a lot of money by selling the meat mismarked as whale meat. The Japanese have a long tradition of eating whale meat, and these people are cashing in on that tradition. But the dolphins are paying the price.
In the long run the people eating them are also paying the price, since the dolphins have mercury levels 20 times higher than are legal in even Japan, but the officials there are ignoring it all. (probably due to bribes)
