This poaster has been created by request for the SeaofSorrow group here on DA. I encourage you to support their efforts to stop the annual slaughter of hundreds of dolphins at Taiji Cove in Japan.

I have totally revised the content and title of this piece. The original racist depiction of a Japanese soldier has been dispensed with.

Remember guys this poster was from the 1940s. It was intended to be racist to promote xenophobia nation wide. This is actually one of the tamest posters depicting Japanese from that era. Most have them pictured as sub-human rat people raping white women or stabbing defenseless people and ganging up on wounded soldiers. This artist specializes in re-purposing WW2 propaganda posters and was asked to do this piece. He picked the tamest he could find and I've tried to help him to find something more appropriate but it may not be out there and this was a requested picture.

Well my friend it means..That the fishermen..Round up many Dolphins in the cove..They take the females who look like flipper so that they can make a quick buck from 50,00 to 150,00 for one female dolphin..To whoever wants a Dolphin and has the money..Then they kill the rest and eat them...the problem is the Dolphin has such high Mercury in them that they are poisoning themselves..It just sad all around..Their is not reason for the wiping out of a Dolphin that is like Flipper no reason at all..this why I'm fighting and getting the word it..It because of greed and because they are like Flipper..Thats where it all started..And a country saw a cash cow..:(
