First, I want to thank you for everything you are doing to fight against and bring attention to this inhumane and brutal slaughter. I have a couple questions for you.
I have read that part of the reason Japan is so unwilling to back down on the dolphin drives or whaling is because the gov't fears that backing down on whaling would start a slippery slope to acquiescing to increased international regulation of the bluefin tuna fishery. Is there any truth to that hypothesis?
For those of us in the United States, how can we best aid in your efforts? I know the #1 thing is to not buy a ticket to marine parks that keep dolphins, but what are other things we can do if we want to take a more active role?
Thank you so much for doing this AMA! You're a real inspiration to me--I decided to go into ocean conservation law largely from following the Dolphin Project and Oceanic Preservation Society. The work you do is so important. I wish you all the best!!
