But wait! There's more. Great, right?

While I was optimistic about an international outcry to the Taiji dolphin slaughter when I first blogged about The Cove last year, I didn't expect a halt -- especially when Japan still thumbs its nose at international horror and participates in whaling.

Cautiously rejoicing, but keep those media eyes trained on Taiji.
