Not such a good point.

To say that westerners eat cows and pigs and therefore (basically) can't say shit about them eating dolphins is not a valid point because we raise the cows and pigs our culture consumes. I don't see dolphin farms in Japan for the cultural consumption by the Japanese. It's apples and oranges.

If they want to raise dolphins as livestock and slaughter them for food, I'm fine with that. Apperantly the Japanese govt is fine with them slaughtering a given amount per year.

The sea turning red with the blood is sick, and I have no intention of knowingly eating dolphin. I buy dolphin safe tuna, too. But I think they should be able to eat it, if their culture (and government) says it's ok and it follows international environmental law.
