Dolphin Project · How Taiji Profits off of Dolphins’ Suffering | Dolphin ProjectWhy do dolphin hunters in Taiji continue to capture hundreds of dolphins and force them into the town’s infamous killing cove year after year?

The real motivation behind Japan's whaling may lie in asserting its maritime sovereignty, as the country defends its exclusive economic zone amid territorial disputes. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/12/19/japan/japan-whaling-maritime-sovereignty/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #denmark #oceans #whales #whaling #denmarkjapanrelations #paulwatson #eez #senkakus
