I think the whole mercury discussion should not be misused to demonize the meat of whale and dolphin, but should be used to address the continued pollution of the oceans by the industrialized west.
And if we talk about mercury in sea creatures, we need to include the worlds favorite fish: tuna.

We have to understand that Japanese fishermen generally see dolphins as "the rats of the see" as they feed on the same fish the fishermen are out to catch. Hence these people will never understand nor willing to discuss the arguments of the "dolphin activists".

I believe the attack was a case of attempted murder.

What's the difference between killing a fish and --let's say-- a chicken?
Moderator: Back on topic please. The subject is the beef steak industry in Japan.

That argument is incorrect. The cows and pigs we eat are specifically grown to be killed and would not be alive if we would all be grass eaters. The dolphins, whale and most fish are a resource of nature that we exploit.

Come on, show a little faith in your own claims that you are ready for self sacrifice to stop the slaughter. Face the heat and see what happens.

There is no Justice in Japan; the system is corrupt, rotten and deadly.

I see also potential for tracking the whereabouts of foreigners. Just add the device to the foreigners card (carrying is already mandatory).
Seriously, technology should not be used to compensate for the growing shortcomings of a society that doesn't care any more about its people.

While it is unquestionable that the Japanese brought a lot of pain to Korea, they pushed them to transform --with never seen speed-- from an agricultural nation into an industrial one. Korea would not be such a high-tech nation as it is, if not for Japan.

The fast amount of ships every day makes it impossible to prevent smuggling, as the example of human trafficking shows (see below link); and it is much more complex to check the legality of machines or parts that are being exported compared to passports of people, especially as paperwork can be easily forged.

What's so hard in washing? I --as a man-- wash "all" my clothing inclusive "all" my daily dress shirts "all" by myself (even iron them) . Its "all" not that hard anymore since the washing machine was invented

Fully agree, though it sells. People love misery, at least seeing it in others. Makes us feel better.
