How can anyone, any nation do this to thousands of Dolphins.????????????????
This is so without honor, so without compassion, this is so wrong!

They are not killed to feed the starving masses but rather to sell the meat as a delicatessen often labeled as whale meat. This is bloody corruption and greed and pure evil!


Watch an episode of Flipper if you are not familiar with it. The man who trained this dolphin "Flipper" is today fighting a battle against the brutal, cruel and merciless slaughter of thousands of Dolphins every year in Japan! A secret event the Japanese government has been trying to hide from the world, and many Japanese don't even know about. Please watch this episode and then think of this wonderful docile animal and ask yourself, "Why must we the human race, kill and torture such a magnificent creature. Become involved and help to stop this!"

The footage of the dolphin slaughter you filmed in The Cove is pretty staggering. Has anyone else seen it yet?
The world will see it Sunday, at Sundance. Even the Japanese don’t know about this. I went onto the street in Tokyo, and I showed the footage to a hundred people walking down the sidewalk, and none of them knew this was happening. That’s the only hope, to expose this to the world. It won’t be easy. The film will probably be banned in Japan. I’m hoping Jim Clark, who is our partner on this, can figure out a way to get it seen there. If he can invent Netscape, he can figure that out, as well. In the meantime, we also have our website, SaveJapanDolphins.org, where people can learn more about this issue.

Red sea in Taiji cove; Sea of blood as Japan slaughters thousands of dolphins

The picturesque cove at Taiji which becomes a bloodbath between September and March each year as 2,000 dolphins are slaughtered

Despite the efforts of the Japanese authorities to keep it hidden, the massacre has been captured on film by a guerrilla documentary team led by the man who trained Flipper.
Until now, the yearly slaughter of 2,000 dolphins in a small town in Japan has been one of the country's most shameful secrets. But The Cove – a new documentary shot in the style of an espionage thriller – is about to change all that. The film follows the attempts of an American documentary team to penetrate the veil of secrecy surrounding the annual dolphin 'drive' in the fishing town of Taiji.
