Japan beachgoers warned to steer clear of dolphins after spate of attacks

The newspaper said officials had installed an underwater device that emits ultrasonic waves in an attempt to deter the animals, but added that two attacks had occurred after the equipment was put in place.

In response, local police have started patrolling the beaches and handing out leaflets alerting people to the potential threat and warning them to keep their distance until the beach closes to bathers at the end of the month. “There are certain body parts where dolphins don’t like to be touched, like the tip of their nose and their dorsal fin,” Masaki Yasui, an official from the tourism promotion department, told Agence France-Presse, adding that“We encourage visitors to watch the dolphin from afar if they come across it.”

The victims include two men in their 40s – both of whom received hospital treatment for minor injuries sustained on the same day at Koshino beach – and a man in his 60s who was swimming less than four metres from the shore at Takasu beach when he was bitten on his right arm.

No mention about Japans notorious dolphin butchery and habits of gorging on dolphin flesh. The time has come …

I saw a program on TV, showing large numbers of dolphins, being netted, drowned & clubbed to death, for human consumption in Japan. Perhaps this dolphin had its partner, or relative killed in this way & is after revenge.

Did they find the stock photo dolphin that looks the most disgruntled for this story. Dude has had enough of our shit.

So long and thanks for all the fish

Maybe he lost some relatives at Taiji 😪

Japan, the home of Dolphin Cove slaughters.

Murder of two women in Sydney shows there are 'no rules in organised crime,' ex-detective saysA former detective says Sydney's underworld has no unwritten laws about not harming females and the double murder of two women in Revesby sends a clear message. They weren’t innocent bystanders. They knew. How come the deceased hairdresser was the sole provider for her family in Lebanon? Her sister seems able to organise a 'go fund me'site, yet left the burden of her family to her hairdresser sister. So there are meant to be rules for crime now? Isn’t that why they chose crime? To hell with the system? Sounds like cops want a hand out too.
