US Ambassador to Japan, Caroline Kennedy's Double Standard
Last Monday, US Ambassadar to Japan, Caroline B. Kennedy wrote the below comment on her twitter page.
"Deeply concerned by inhumaneness of drive hunt dolphin killing. USG opposes drive hunt fisheries."
I guess she was impressed by the documentary film "The Cove" which describes brutality of dolphin hunting in Taiji town in Mie Prefecture.
Whether her remark is right or wrong, it is double standard. So I replied to her as below.
"Double standard! Saving dolphins in Taiji and killing dugongs for new Marine base (construction) in Okinawa at the same time."
If you want to know why I wrote that. Read the posts with Okinawa tag on this blog or the below newspaper article.
Dugong plaintiffs consider new action in U.S. to block Henoko landfill
We are sick of America's hypocrisy.
