Check out this eye opening documentary on dolphin slaughtering in Taiji, Japan. This is a dramatic film that exposes the extremes of animal cruelty and the risks associated with consuming mislabeled toxic dolphin meat. In the film Rick O'Barry, dolphin activist and former trainer of Flipper, and his team capture footage of the hidden slaughtering and discuss results on dolphin ecology as well as the implications of human consumption of dolphin and whale meat. The film describes dolphins as 'swimming toxic dump sites' full of toxic levels of mercury.

Welcome!
My name is Anna and I am currently a senior at St. Lawrence University. This semester I am conducting research on seafood in the North Country. My goal is to examine a variety of seafood suppliers in our area and determine where our seafood is coming from, the amount of mercury in it, and to discuss implications of these findings on our health and on seafood sustainability. I will read articles and books and watch documentaries and use this blog as a way to share interesting information with you. I will also share the findings of my mercury testing and advances in determining the most sustainable healthy seafood available. Please feel free to comment and discuss these issues!
