In the US the beef “industry” uses the slogan “Beef: It’s what’s for dinner.” In Taiji, Japan, replace “beef” with cetacean, and serve it for any meal — including school lunches.

Taiji is the city that catches headlines for its bloody massacres of dolphins, pilot whales, , and whatever cetacean happens to swim by on annual migrations. The annual slaughter (beginning 1 October and lasting six months) usually kills at least 20,000.

In a chilling echo of the Holocaust, one fisherman noted that they save a few lives, separating the “best looking” victims for training as entertainers. The rest end up on the dinner table, or used as fertilizer.

It’s well known that the fishermen want to rid the ocean of these “pests.” (Unlike other whaling countries, the Japanese believe it acceptable to kill the babies, a truly Final Solution.)

But they rationalize instead. They say that eating cetaceans is like Chinese and Koreans eating dogs — or Australians eating lambs. Many recommend the taste of aquatic intelligence. Others claim it is a traditional celebration — unfortunately, it is one without much evidence more than 250 years old.

Above all, these advocates hope to convert others — which is why you can buy dolphin steaks and humpback whale bacon alongside beef and chicken in local supermarkets.

The pollutants in the animals don’t seem to worry them, though mercury levels tested at ten times higher than the highest exposure rates recommended by the Japanese Health Ministry.

The Taiji civic government approved and is building a new, multimillion-dollar cetacean slaughterhouse. The Japanese slaughter of whales — entire pods, babies to elders — continues in the Southern Oceans.

What’s for dinner, McFengshui fans?

The alleged power of McFengshui is in transforming the environment to achieve goals. Based on McFengshui rules, then those who advocate eating cetaceans — and who are clamoring to enlarge the hunts of all kinds, including humpback whales — have purposefully arranged their environment and are using intentions, etc., to achieve the speedy demise of all varieties of these “pests” in the ocean.
