Ambassador Kennedy voiced her concerns about the drive hunts in Taiji, not only on Twitter: Q: Your tweet regarding the drive dolphin hunt in Taiji, Wakayama Prefecture, drew a lot of attention in Japan. Why did you make that comment? A: Well, you know, people had been writing to me and tweeting and emailing and calling the United States--calling the embassy here. Hundreds and hundreds of people have been doing this for the last few weeks. And so I thought it was really important to make our policy known, and we have a longstanding policy of protecting these mammals, since 1972, in the United States. And the U.S. government has a policy on this: Drive hunt fisheries are unsustainable and inhumane. So I thought it was important to clarify that and put that out there. -- Link to Kennedy interview: bit.ly/1ccNyEh Taiji comments at the end
