	PBS - The Voyage of the Odyssey - Track the Voyage - ATLANTIC OCEAN
		Unlike Taiji, the dolphin drive hunt in Futo in recent years is primarily to obtain live dolphins for the thriving aquarium trade.
		It is significant to note that Futo had not hunted dolphins for the previous five years and it is only due to increased demand from aquariums in Japan and Asia that the hunts resumed in 2004.
		By explaining where the dolphin meat comes from, the high levels of persistent organic pollutants in the meat (a human health threat as well as a threat to the animals) and the unsustainable nature of the hunts, several large supermarket chains in Japan have stopped selling dolphin meat, thereby contributing to a reduction in demand.

	International Protest Can't Save Dolphins from Taiji Slaughter
		Despite the growing worldwide outcry that the practice is inhumane and unsustainable, at least 150 dolphins have been slaughtered by drive fisheries in waters off the Japanese village of Taiji this fall.
		In drive fisheries, dolphins located offshore are herded by boats and loud noise into shallow bays or beaches and then killed by having their throats or necks cut.
		Dolphin hunts using flimsy quotas have already led to declines in dolphin populations, and should the hunts continue, local extinction may yet occur," Rose says.
