Onze favoriete dierenrechtenactivist, Peter Janssen – beter bekend als de Vegan Streaker – zit in Japan achter de tralies na het verstoren van een dolfijnenshow.
De 32-jarige Nederlandse dierenactivist sprong met een Belgische geestverwante in het water. Zij hielden vervolgens een protestbord omhoog tegen de slachting van dolfijnen in de Japanse stad Taiji.
Janssen sprong – naar wij aannemen in half of geheel ontklede staat – samen met een Belgische geestverwante in het water om te protesteren tegen de slachting van dolfijnen in de Japanse stad Taiji, een weerzinwekkend jaarlijks terugkerend ritueel. 
Janssen’s capriolen leiden de aandacht vaak wat af van de zaak waar hij voor staat, maar zijn protest is volledig terecht. Uit Wikipedia:
As the dolphins are initially quite agitated, they are left to calm down over night. The following day, fishermen enter the bay in small boats, and the dolphins are caught one at a time and killed. The primary method of dispatch was for a long time to cut the dolphin’s throat, severing blood vessels, and death was due to exsanguination.
The government banned this method and now the officially sanctioned method requires that a metal pin be driven into the cervical region(“neck”) of the dolphin, severing its brainstem, which causes it to die within seconds, according to a memo from Senzo Uchida, the executive secretary of the Japan Cetacean Conference on Zoological Gardens and Aquariums.[10]
According to an academic paper published in 2013 in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science titled A Veterinary and Behavioral Analysis of Dolphin Killing Methods Currently Used in the ‘Drive Hunt’ in Taiji, Japan, those killing methods involving driving a rod into the spine and using a pin to stop bleeding that is used by the Japanese in Taiji creates such terror and pain that it would be illegal to kill cows in Japan in this manner. Several veterinarians and behavioral scientists evaluated the current Taiji Japanese killing method and concluded that “This killing method….would not be tolerated or permitted in any regulated slaughterhouse process in the developed world.”
