Starmometer Supports ‘Save the Dolphins’ Campaign
November 15, 2007 by cd
I was one of the lucky few to be able to see and touch a live dolphin last September 14, 2007 at the Ocean Adventure in Subic. These mammals are so adorable, friendly, intelligent and free-spirited.
And when i came across this video from Youtube showing Japanese fishermen slaughtering dolphins like cuttlefish, my heart ached like hell. That’s why in my own little way i’d like to help these dolphins by spreading the word and proliferating awareness and condemning Japanese fishermen who brutally kill thousands of these lovely creatures every winter.
Watch the clips below regarding dolphin slaughter. Warning: some videos are very graphic, not for the weak heart.
Every winter, thousands of dolphins are confined and brutally killed in small towns across Japan. Animal advocates and environmentalists considers this barbaric and condemns the slaughter. Fishermen often injure a few captives by spear thrust or knife slash to retain the group since dolphins never abandon injured family members. The water turns red and the air is filled with their agonising screams. They are then dragged to the slaughter place and their throats slashed and left to die. Dolphin meat are later marketed and often disguised as whale meat. 1 videoclip of dolphin massacre after the jump.
