With all due respect you don't know a ton at all - in fact your belief of the Taiji numbers is quite simply wrong, as I have already posted clearly above. If you look up there you will find the exact quotas for Taiji and Futo.I don't know a ton about this issue but I believe in Tajii alone they kill around 25,000 dolphins or whales a year.
On the other hand I don't really blame you as I know full well that the way Sea Shepherd, amongst others, portrays the figures is disingenuous and misleading - but heck....25,000/year sounds a lot more dramatic than 2,400 right?
