How the dolphins being massacred to satisfy a food fetish are poisoning the Japanese who eat them Posted: 3 months ago by kakana
Over the coming months, thousands of dolphins - some only a few days old - will be hacked to death.
The dolphin meat is so toxic because the seas around Japan have become a soup of industrial wastes. These poisons become concentrated in fish, which the dolphins then eat. And when the Japanese eat the dolphins, they progressively poison themselves.

No, not in a concentrated health drink.
Science once believed that dolphins shouldn't be able to swim faster than 19mph, despite clear evidence that they can and do.
Science has now admitted it made a mistake and acknowledged that dolphins can swim as fast as they do (up to 25mph). Which no doubt comes as a relief to the dolphins.
