Dumb Animals

Just past the small bridge adorned by stone dolphins reads a wooden sign:

“Welcome to Taiji."

Taiji-cho, a small coastal town of the Kinki region in Wakayama Prefecture on the main Japanese island of Honshu, is a prime location to conduct such “dolphin drive” operations. The town’s position at the tip of a peninsula jutting into the Pacific Ocean places it along the migratory paths of ocean mammals and Taiji’s Hatagiri Bay has been physically altered in size and depth to make it an ideal cove for driving in these pods.



Strangely enough, the water in Taiji Bay is not naturally red.

If you hear nothing else in this video below, remember this:
“DOLPHINS NEVER ABANDON WOUNDED FAMILY MEMBERS”



The Japanese fishermen are indiscriminate. They kill any species that approaches the coast. Many people have witnessed the killing of:

- Striped dolphins
- Bottlenose dolphins
- Pilot whales*
- Killer whales
- Melon-headed whales
- Risso dolphins

*The killing of pilot whales violates Japan's treaty obligations to 
the International Whaling Commission.

AFTER VIEWING THIS VIDEO FOOTAGE ... BEFORE ANYONE GETS IT IN THEIR HEAD THAT ONLY JAPANESE PEOPLE ARE CRUEL TO ANIMALS ... PLEASE REMEMBER THIS.

THESE TWO MORONS ...


AND THIS PILE OF SHIT ...


THEY ARE AS AMERICAN AS APPLE PIE.

I'm big in Japan ... and Iran?

I never really took much notice of my international web map hit counter. However, I decided to take a closer look the other day. It would seem that I now have visitors to this blog from two areas in Iran as well as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Israel.

For this reason, I am sure it won't be long before I have visitors from the CIA in Langley Virginia as well.




In fact ... I just noticed that an Arabic web site has added me to their BlogRoll. I wish I was able to read more of this web site, but I must admit I am truly honored.

On behalf of the American people, I would like to apologize for our idiot President and Vice-President. We would also like to apologize for all our celebrities who feel the need to be Muslim on a whim.

I would also like to add that most people living in the US still like Arabic people a lot. The vast majority of the people living in the blue states understand that the Islamic religion is a peaceful one. Don’t let our Showtime programming freak you out.

As-Salaam-Alaikum!
