Don't know if you're a South Park fan but I refer you their recent-ish "Whale Whores" episode (Google it, I can't provide a link from where I am). The boys find out why the Japanese slaughter dolphins and whales and then manage to redirect their slaughtering energies to the socially acceptable chickens and cows. Quite a funny takeoff on both the film "The Cove" and the Whale Wars TV show- if that is you think South Park is funny. Otherwise it's just true.
