Please Help Stop the Dolphin Massacres In Taiji

I recently watched the documentary that uncovered the reality of what has been going on in Taiji, Japan, concerning the capture and slaughter of thousands of dolphins and whales for many years now. The Cove opened my eyes in a way that I could not ignore. It broke my heart into a million pieces to see such inhumane cruelty. Whaling has been going on for a long time, but we are in the 21st Century. These highly intelligent marine mammals are a very important part of the eco-system that need to be protected! The slaughter has to STOP!! The issue has come into light for almost a decade now, but it is sadly still going on. There is more that has to be done about it, be it by signing a petition, donating to the people fighting for the cause, boycotting all Marine Mammal Parks &/or just spreading the word.

"Each year from September to May over 20,000 dolphins are slaughtered in Japan. Fishermen round them up by the hundreds using sound barriers to disorient and herd the frantic pods out of their normal migrations into hidden lagoons like the one featured in The Cove. Bottlenose dolphins, especially ones that look like Flipper, are pre-selected by trainers and sold off for upwards of $200,000 to marine mammal parks around the world, where they will remain in captivity performing as circus acts. After the trainers and spectators have left, the rest of the dolphins are inhumanely killed in what can only be described as a massacre." via The Oceanic Preservation Society
