Spring is in the air, flowers are starting to bloom and you can feel the anticipation. New life crawling over the coldness of winter. This is my favorite time of the year. You can feel the hope in the air. Everything is clear and pretty and fresh. But this is also a very sad time for me. For now the yearly slaughter of the beloved dolphins starts in Taiji. As new life blooms in Africa, sacred lives get taken away brutally in Japan.
