Dolphin meat comes from various species of dolphins, which are marine mammals found in oceans worldwide. In some cultures, particularly in parts of Japan and the Faroe Islands, dolphin meat is consumed as a traditional food source. However, the practice has raised significant ethical and environmental concerns due to the intelligence of dolphins and the impact on their populations. The consumption of dolphin meat is controversial, as it can contain high levels of mercury, posing health risks to humans. Additionally, hunting dolphins often involves methods that can lead to the suffering of these animals and disrupt marine ecosystems. As a result, many organizations advocate against the consumption of dolphin meat.
