Richard's actions were not directed against Japan.
In Florida, Norway, Iceland, his active presence was known, and he was even repeatedly arrested and imprisoned, spending time behind bars almost every year.
"A single dolphin placed in the right location can earn them a million a year. If you interfere, they'll break your hands," he said.
"My colleagues, Jane Tipson and Jenny May, were sacrificed because of this. At the time, we were protesting Norway's dolphin trade with a hunger strike. I fainted on the tenth day and ended up in the hospital. Then Jenny became their target, followed her to the beach, and used her belt to strangle her to death."
"My God."
Mugalen was speechless and held great respect for the old man in front of him.
Just like the previous street interviews, in Richard's view, Japan's slaughtering of dolphins was just the action of a few towns and the government.
