dolphin massacre in japan

yesterday i saw some of the most disgusting fucked-up things i've seen in a long time. i saw this clip of this really popular show on the international tv show Al Rojo Vivo were they showed the massacre of dolphins in japan. the thing is negotiations have been taking place between a merc from japan and Ocean World in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. that last being an aquatic park located in the northern coast that has in its upcoming attractions plans to host new dolphins for the kids to play with. the alleged price tag on these animals is $45,000 US Dollars. now, this is so wrong in so many aspects i'm not going to even mention the obvious ones. i read somewhere that caging dolphins and using them as entertainment for kids to grab 'em by the fins and swim is devastating to the life of these animals. after seeing all this i felt so helpless, impotent. *sigh* i just had to get this off my chest.

here's a link to the video, please view at your discretion:
