taiji dolphin drives

Who knew the beautiful city of Taiji, Japan…

could be so…

UGLY?!

Were dolphinsreally meant

for our entertainment?

Or are we being selfish…Keeping them from living the life they were intended to live?

They can remember the way it was…

…before they were spotted by the Taiji fishermen, and were herded toward the Cove…

8% of the dolphins never make it to the Cove, because of stress induced by the loud clanging noises the fishermen make

in order to herd them into the cove.

Once in the Cove they are held overnight awaiting

the next day, were animal brokers

pick through the dolphins.

Where the dolphins will spend the rest of

their shortened lives in captivity.

Then, after the “choice” dolphins are sold, the slaughtering happens…

Unwanted dolphins are then sold to the meat market.

After seeing the way dolphins act in the wild, and how they are treated by the fishermen, it should be clearthat the hunting and killing of these beautiful creatures

is wrong.

Why wait until the dolphins are on the endangered species list beforetaking action?

That’s something even the Japanese should agree on.
