The dolphin and porpoise are the different species. I suppose few persons eat dolphin so much that it becomes the big problem. The government report shows it is changing, fishermen are also adjusting their catch down as demand shifts from dolphin and porpoises to baleen whales.

bushlover,

In some places in Japan dolphin is the traditional food for them.

All,

I found numbers of dolphin and porpoises from Japanese government funded institute.

http://kokushi.job.affrc.go.jp/H19/H19/H19_45.pdf

See page 5. The porpoises are many in number, by the 2007 figure. 170,000. 2006 catch was about 4% for the RIKUZEN porpoise,…

bushlover,

Dolphin and porpoise are both small species. 20,000 is not so much meat. 20,000 sardines is even less. It is better to take more whales instead, but the Japanese government is too weak and slow to reopen the normal whale fisheries.

In fact, in government report on porpoise status,…

taiko666,

Please see article: "Campaign Whale and the Environmental Investigation Agency, which claim nearly 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are killed by Japan each year."

This is true. Japanese government research summary is here for Dall's poipoise: http://kokushi.job.affrc.go.jp/H18/H18S/H18S46.pdf http://kokushi.job.affrc.go.jp/H19/H19S/H1946S.pdf

If we suppose porpoise species will be hunted to extinction, how may…

nutsagain,

I promote not whale consumption. I am a whale consumer, longing for more whale. We need not dolphin and porpoise if we have more whales. Remember the story "In the mid-1980s the numbers killed increased in order to substitute for the lack of striped dolphins, which had been overhunted,…

Andy Ottaway says the Dall's porpoise population is driving to extinction. REALLY? If such was the truth, Japanese regulators would not be allowing the harvest at all.

OssanULTRA, dolphin and porpoise are sometimes regarded as KUZIRA. They are the type of KUZIRA, but the Ministry in charge of the fisheries…

This is the very traditional Japanese whaling. I am sure some bonkers non-whale eater will write here to complain.

My definition is standard one. Same as Wikipedia or dictionary.

Demonstrations are accepted. Violent attacks are not accepted.

Learn this common sense.

"Using terrorism on the high seas and butchering whales as a means of coercing the rest of the world."

There is no coercing.

SS crazies try to coercing us to stop normal activity of catching whales, by dangerous violent acts. This is why they are regarded as terrorists, and arrest…
