Leave our whales and dolphins alone :(

I knew about whale slaughtering by the Japanese but I had no idea they were slaughtering dolphins too.
Dolphins are one of the cutest and most intelligent creatures. They are so friendly and playful with people. It's really mind boggling to think that some people could, not only see them as seafood but be brutal enough to trap and spear them to death...


The sad thing is that in Japan, Dolphin meat isn't even considered a delicacy. No one wants to eat it, so they are sold off packaged as "whale meat". They're killing over 20,000 dolphins a year in Taiji to be replacement meat.

Jokes on them, apparently dolphin meat contains high levels of mercury and is deemed too toxic for human consumption.
