Japanese Government Defends Dolphin Hunt As Killing Goes On
His nation's annual dolphin hunt "is a form of traditional fishing in our country," Japanese government spokesman Yoshihide Suga says in response to criticism of the practice from Caroline Kennedy, the new U.S. ambassador in Tokyo.
"We will explain Japan's position to the American side," the chief cabinet secretary adds, according to The Associated Press.
On Saturday, Kennedy posted this message on her Twitter account:
"Deeply concerned by inhumaneness of drive hunt dolphin killing. USG opposes drive hunt fisheries."
