It brings to mind a story/rumor about how depleted the oceans around Japan are. They have to travel all over the world because they have virtually wiped out all sustainable fish species in their own waters.
Not to go all "Greenpeace" on them, but it would be ironic if in the process of herding the dolphins to thier slaughter their boats happend to sink. I doubt they'd be as happy to see hundreds of dolphin stampeding all over them to reach freedom.
When you think of all the cultures around the world, and all their unique eating habits, the Japanese are probably the most intrusive, and least responsible regarding intelligent ocean harvesting.
That's not to say that we're angels when it comes to ocean harvesting.
If we had maintained our old practices regarding the harvest/fishing for striped bass, we'd be conversing on a bluefish, skate or dogfish.com website right now.
