  • Commercial Dolphin Hunting Causes Suspended Sister City Relationship
    This article discusses the suspended sister city relationship between Taiji, Japan, and Broome, Western Australia. Today in Taiji, commercial dolphin hunting is a major business. Dolphins are either sold to aquariums or slaughtered and sold to eat. Broome, subject to criticism and pressure concerning the sister city relationship, suspended their relationship with Taiji until commercial dolphin hunting stops.
  • Japan: Whale for dinner anyone?
    While pro- and anti-whaling groups feel very strongly about saving or consuming whales, most Japanese do not appear to have strong feelings on this topic. Mercury poisoning from eating whales, dolphin, and large fish is not a major topic of interest either, but it should be.
