Sumiyo Snacks Part III

This week I met Sumiyo for lunch and, as usual, she brought me something interesting. This week, I politely accepted, knowing that the package would never be opened, but at the same time, I didn't want to just throw it away. I was at a moral dilemma because she gave me....
... whale.
After writing about The Cove and having a life-long love for whales, I couldn't possibly eat it. Since I didn't want to just discard it either, I gave it to one of my other students. When they asked why I didn't want it, I told them that for me, eating whale would be like eating a panda or a pengi-san or a dolphin (which they believe are not killed in Japan at all). Which reminds me, I need to send Sumiyo that website.

Here's the website for you just in case you forgot- SaveJapanDolphins.org.
