During the hunting season that began October 1st 2003 and ended March 30th 2004 the fishermen of Taiji killed 1,165 dolphins:
444 Striped dolphins
197 bottlenose dolphins
102 Pantropical spotted dolphins
293 Risso’s dolphins
117pilot whales
12 false killer whales
In that same period they captured 78 dolphins for sale to dolphinaria:
67 bottlenose dolphins
6 Risso’s dolphins
5 pseudo orcas
This MUST be stopped, it is the Largest and Cruelest Slaughter of Dolphins in the World!
The Japanese fisherman have been trying to hide the fact that they kill thousands of dolphins a year!
By acting so hostile and secretive, they involuntarily bring more attention to themselves and the dolphin massacres. As a young girl visiting from Tokyo put it: "I never realized that dolphins are being killed here until I saw that creepy-looking blue plastic covering the lagoon."
Even though I am only a 13 year old girl, I know that with your help, we can stop Dolphin killing and save the innocent creatures.
