Twitter Project / Stop the Hunt / Save Japan's Dolphins

What This Project Is About:
I have partnered with Mr. Paul Steele @Paul_Steele to produce a Youtube Video


to involve as many peeps on Twitter or whatever your Social Media site is to show their support to end this horrible Annual Dolphin Slaughter at the Cove in Japan. The completed Youtube video will be sent to all of the Japanese Ambassadors and Government Officials around the world along with the results of the petition that many of you have already signed. Go here if you have not signed yet:
petition to #JAPAN'SCOVE: Stop the Brutal #DolphinSlaughter  http://act.ly/2ca

Why?
The world needs to keep the pressure up and let the fishers in Taiji Japan know that they need to end this brutal massacre.  Most people in Japan do not know what is happening in their own back yard as this annual hunt has remained a guarded secret for centuries.  Until Richard O'Barry and his Academy Award winning movie "The Cove" was made most of the rest of the world was ignorant to what was happening as well!!

If you have not seen a screening of "The Cove" here is a link for you to watch it: WARNING: It is disturbing and graphic and you will never view the world the same again. Netflix "Instant Streaming"

This inhumane slaughter goes on for 6 months at the Cove..with the hunt date starting September 1st.  At this point in time, world pressure and the presence of activists and The Sea Shepard  have slowed down the slaughter as the fishers do not like being in the spotlight.  Yesterday, 80 Dolphins were herded into the Cove and several of them have been put into pens to be sold to Aquariums around the World.


We not only have to stop this barbaric slaughter, we have to put pressure on the World Aquariums to stop buying these beautiful creatures.
