It's pretty well known that Japan engages in Whaling... but I've only learned right this very moment that they also slaughter Dolphins as well. They are able to continue their whaling practices under the banner of research (for what?!) and end up slaughtering thousands of whales each year,.. but they end up slaughtering tens of thousands of dolphins each year as well and a lot of people don't even know about it, not even the general public in Japan either. Apparently, the slaughtering of dolphins actually has Yakuza ties...
In an effort to get the word out, a movie was made that uses some pretty interesting methods to film the secret slaughtering of these dolphins has been made called "The Cove"
Watch the trailer here: The Cove Movie: Welcome
The activists site here: SaveJapanDolphins.org | Ending dolphin slaughter in Taiji
Also see: Sea Shepherd, the folks who go out there and go head to head with Japanese whalers.
Anyway, what do you guys think about this?

apalling these things just make me sick and the "its our culture" is not a excuse for the slaughter they cause, i am no animal rights activitest or whatever but i mean to slaughter 1000's of dolphins not mention whales is just awful i dont care what their excuse is the world should come down hard on them, animals arent around to be slaughtered at the whims of the japanese or anyone for that fact it simply disgusts me.

Go to the South Park website to watch full episodes and look up the episode Whale Whores from this last season.

Resurrecting ye olden thread... because now you can watch the entire documentary here: MEGAVIDEO - I'm watching it
Note: It's hosted at megavideo which means that by the 72 minute mark it'll stop and you'll have to wait 30 minutes or so to watch the rest. So take a 30 minute break, come back and reload the page and then put the slider over to the 1 hour 12 minute mark and it'll resume.
It's pretty fucking horrific stuff.
