Answer 1

I seriously doubt it. Japan has been under pressure for decades to stop killing dolphins but so far nothing has worked. They're a sovereign nation and there's not much anyone can do. If enough Japanese youth were convinced this was bad, they'd stop eating dolphin and the market would dry up. Many countries in that area have an even worse record than Japan and there isn't much anyone can do to stop it. Protests like this work to draw publicity to the issue but unless they can convince the Japanese to stop buying the product(s), it won't be effective inside Japan, and the West already sees this as a bad practice.
