Be Informed ~ When You Support #SeaWorld you Support This Horror in Taiji Japan
When you BUY A TICKET to Seaworld, a Swim With
Dolphins Program, or support any Entertainment Venue that has captive
dolphins for Entertainment you SUPPORT THIS MISERY AND HORROR at THE KILLING COVE TAIJI JAPAN
Reprinted from Facebook: Sea Shepherd
Today in Taiji: The plight, torment and
destruction of this pod of over 200 Bottlenose Dolphins has been ongoing
for 6 days now. 23 Dolphins were slaughtered, as the last of the
captive dolphins were taken out of the killing cove by dolphin trainers. 2 juvenile dolphins died needlessly during the capture
process this week. 8 were taken captive today; a staggering 101 juvenile
dolphins have been captured altogether from this pod, displaying the
true motive for the drive as the Fisheries Union stands to make millions
from the horrific treatment of these animals.
These dolphins'
torment will continue for the rest of their lives as they are forced to
entertain the very same species that stole them from their home- the
ocean.
Those dolphins that were too old and marked for a life
in captivity, and escaped slaughter, were released back out to sea in an
absolute frenzy- desperate to get as far away from the horrors from
within the cove as possible.
They will now swim with 126
dolphins less than this time last week- a majority of these dolphins
represented the next generation of their family- in the coming years,
their pod size will dwindle considerably...
All of this death
and destruction is the direct result of the captive dolphin industry-
supporting these facilities and organisations supports the destruction
of wild dolphin populations.
Make the right choice.

Never Give Up ~ We Speak For Their Very Existence
This is unreal - I must admit that I have done the "seaworld" and "Swim with the dolphins" attractions - NO MORE!
ReplyDeleteThis cruel and inhumane practice goes on every year. It must be stopped. Don't visit amusement parks that keep dolphins. Don't swim with the dolphins. Dolphin families are ripped apart, traumatized, killed and even sold for meat. Help stop this senseless practice.
DeleteGreat cause Jackie, will try to help by sharing
ReplyDeleteChris Inman, that is music to my ears, the only way to end this misery is thru education and getting the message out ..we all love dolphins and want to interact with them and until we are informed, we have no thought as to where they come from. You may want to watch the Academy Award Winning Documentary "The Cove" and another great choice "A Fall From Freedom" #dolphinsloveus
ReplyDeletehorrifying! I have never seen a dolphin in captivity and will continue to avoid any venue that has them.
ReplyDeleteSame with the Elephants in Thailand, it's terrible what people will do to animals to make a quick buck
ReplyDeleteWe all need to help preserve.
ReplyDeleteThis is shocking. I guess I assumed by visiting dolphins were helping them at these places but I did not know this is how they got the animals in the 1st place.
ReplyDeleteGood cause. My heart goes out. Will share this.
ReplyDeletemy heart is breaking when i read things like this. I never supported captivity of dolphins and never visited.....
ReplyDeleteThis is terrible and very sad.
ReplyDeleteFollowing your blog Jackie and offcourse shared it all around too!
ReplyDeleteThis needs to get out and about....I will do my part.
ReplyDeleteShocking, will share.
ReplyDeleteYou have opened my eyes, the last time I went to Sea World was 27 years ago, and I will not ever set foot in there again. I had no idea they were responsible for the Cove until I met you on FB and EA. Now I too have become an advocate to stop this killing.
ReplyDeleteWell done to fight for this cause, shared the post
ReplyDeleteI've watched these wonderful sentient creatures in the wild, and I fully support your cause.
ReplyDeleteEvery day and in every way this is coming to an end. Keep getting the word out Jackie and everyone
ReplyDeleteThank you Jackie for following this cause... :-)
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to do this when you want to watch them. You can watch them in their natural habitat with whale watching argyll. You can watch them freely swim.
