I asked him how much he knew about it and whether it was widely publicized in Japan. He said: "Did something in particular happen this past week? I haven't read anything recently. In the past, the dolphin hunting has been reported -- in the English-language media at least, but it seems to be one of those contentious topics that make few big waves here, and Japanese tend to circle up the wagons and become nationalistic and defensive." I told him about the reports in the West Australian and our political campaign. http://tinyurl.com/57jo5r We must never stop until this practice ceases.
