    AUTHORITIES in Japan have arrested a longtime US activist featured in the award-winning documentary film The Cove about an annual dolphin hunt in the country's west.

    RICHARD O'Barry has admitted he did not have his passport with him when police questioned him in Nachikatsuura town, near Jaiji, the Kyodo News agency reported on Tuesday.

    The arrest was made late on Monday, just one day before the dolphin hunt season opens in Taiji town in Wakayama prefecture, Kyodo said, citing local police.


    The local police have set up a temporary police station and taken other precautionary measures as the opening of the hunt could draw protesters, the report says.


    The 2009 Academy Award-winning film depicts the bloody slaughter of dolphins during a drive hunt in the town.

    People just need to stop looking at Asian or third world countries from their first world countries.

    Places like Philipines, Korea, Bali etc... label dogs as pests. because dogs are scavengers, there's too many and they literally eat out of hands/mouths of people. The dogs are treated with the same respect a "pest" is treated here in Aus. killed, mangled, beaten, f----- up, eaten, burned, w/e. Yet you still have thousands of dickheads on Facebook sharing videos of Sum Ling Chang killing a cat or dog with "oh no this is so wrong, murder this c----, hang him!"

    People forget that we used to beat each other to death with clubs when we were primitive cavemen. Half the world populace doesn't realize their precious "domestic house-pets" if raised in the wild, and met in the wild, would likely k--- you.
