	BBC NEWS Programmes This World Dining with the dolphin hunters
		During the three weeks we were there, we found no one outside the dolphin hunting towns who even knew that dolphins were eaten.
		It has been going on for 400 years and the process is called "drive hunting".
		Most people deplore the mere thought of hunting and killing dolphins, but in Japan it is legal and, arguably, traditional.

	The POD - Cetacean Mythology... Swim with dolphins and whales in the wild!
		The dolphins would drive the fish towards the awaiting nets of the men, who would show their gratitude by offering some of the mullet to their willing helpers.
		This ancestor was the cultural hero Gowonda who, along with his hunting dogs, was transformed into a dolphin and thereafter helped the members of his human tribe to catch fish.
		Only one dolphin — a pregnant female — had been spared, and the son to which she gave birth, named Dinginjabana, was stronger and wiser than any of the dolphins that had gone before, and was the first of the friendly, intelligent dolphins we know today.

	Irrawaddy dolphin - Orcaella brevirostris: More Information - ARKive
		In some areas of Asia, fishermen consider the Irrawaddy dolphin to be a competitor for fish, but in other areas the fishermen attract them to the boat and encourage them to drive fish into the nets for a share of the catch (2).
		Irrawaddy dolphins are known to spit water to herd fish, and have even been reported to stun large fish with a blow from the lower jaw, only to play with them before casting them aside.
		Although most closely related to the orca (4), the Irrawaddy dolphin is similar in body form to the beluga whale, but darker in colour, with a pale to dark grey back and a light underside.

	CSI Whales Alive! Vol. X No. 2 Hardy Jones Investigates Fishing Villages Of Japan, April 2001
		TAIJI: No dolphin hunting happened in Taiji, and there were no dolphins being held for slaughter while the team was there, but that could have been a ruse.
		SUMMARY - The good news is that there is not the slightest doubt that the explosion of protest from other nations against the brutality of dolphin hunting in Japan has had enormous impact on the Japanese government and the fishermen who conduct it.
		An official of the fishermen's union was initially reluctant to be interviewed but ultimately defended the dolphin killing, saying that the economy of the village depends upon it.
