Hardy Jones of Bluevoice.org works with Oceana on a number of issues and the one that is most relevant now is the Japanese dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan. For 25 years, Hardy has traveled to Japan to document this annual butchering, in which meat from the dolphins is sold off to restaurants, grocery stores and even school cafeterias.

Many parents are unaware that their children's school lunches are chock full of mercury and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as PCBs and Dioxins. Two Taiji city councilmen have gone so far as to label meat from dolphins "toxic waste" due to its high mercury content.

Help Hardy and Oceana take a stand for dolphins.
