Hi! Your article makes up great points and I enjoyed reading it. Although, the title confused me at first on whether this was a Blackfish pro or anti argument. I find little rebuttal for anti but….
Well done, Jaime!
It’s great to see someone who understands that it’s no good blaming ALL Japan for a few delinquents, especially when the REAL problem lies with the purchasers of live dolphins, and their customers.
