Whats wrong with eating dolphin meat?
Cruelty issues set aside, dolphin meat from drive hunts in Taiji, Wakayama prefecture, proved to be highly contaminated with toxic chemicals such as mercury, methyl mercury and PCBs. Repeated chemical analyses have shown that the level of mercury in dolphin meat is much higher than the maximum allowable level set by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan. There is worldwide concern that mercury accumulated in the human body may pose a serious health risk, especially to pregnant women and children. The contaminated dolphin meat does not have a warning label.
