Japan's bloody dolphin hunts have gotten the country's aquariums suspended from the world body that oversees the humane treatment of animals in captivity. That's what Switzerlands World Association of Zoos and Aquariums Japanese affiliate said. These dolphin hunts are conducted in the fall and winter in the port of Taiji. JAZA (Japanese Aquarium and Zoo Association) failed to reach an agreement with WAZA over the hunts.
