Pressure from a severe population slump have finally driven us to find a way, but mammals don't breed as numerously as fish, so we should be careful it doesn't get to that stage.

From wildlife conservation stand point of view, you are totally right. But then with that stand point, killing bottlenose dolphins would be totally OK, which I don't think many want it to happen.
And yes, Hollywood sucks on many levels.

There are some regions in Japan that have the tradition of whaling. Japan is a country which has diverse cultures. Overall though, I don't think there are many places where people eat whale regularly. Definitely not Tokyo. Eating whale is very common in one region, and totally weird in others. You probably know this but just to clarify.

You just completely ignore what I have been saying and just casually fire away "I watched The Cove and I think they should stop killing dolphins!!".
I swear. I'll eat dolphin meat just to bug you if you don't re-read the thread right now.
