Dolphin Slaughter condemned by JFK's daughter

The daughter of US president John F Kennedy has sparked a diplomatic spat after speaking out against the annual slaughter of dolphins in a secluded Japanese cove.

Caroline Kennedy, the US ambassador to Japan, tweeted her criticism of the annual killings of hundreds of dolphins that turn waterways crimson red with blood.
Despite criticism every year, the controversial cull in the town of Taiji is "lawful", the Japanese government says.
Now Ms Kennedy's open objection to the slaughter pegs the US against its ally, The Independent reports.
"Deeply concerned by inhumaneness of drive hunt dolphin killing," Ms Kennedy said in a tweet this week days before the annual cull.
"(US government) opposes drive hunt fisheries."

Conservationists say a rare albino dolphin is among the 250 of the animals who have been herded for the slaughter this year.
"Babies and mothers will be torn from each other’s sides as some are taken for captivity, some are killed, and others are driven back out to sea to fend for themselves," the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society said.
The Independent says the cull is notoriously brutal, with fishermen herding the dolphins into the cove and attacking htem with knives after separating the best-looking dolphins to be sold to aquariums.
Ms Kennedy's tweet was translated into Japanese and circulated thousands of times, prompting backlash by nationalists who resent Western criticism, including one who said it was "laughable".



Speechless. :cry:
