November 1, 2007 - In Taiji Japan, A Local Hero
By Hardy Jones
Junichiro Yamashita, an assemblyman for Taiji
Japan is the first official to take a stand against the idiotic
practice of feeding school children toxic dolphin and pilot
whale meat, which contains high levels of mercury. He was
told he would not be re-elected if he spoke of the dolphin
issue, but he has put the community's interest above his
own.
