The Fight for Flipper - The Cove Taiji Japan
Excerpt from The Path to Protect ~ January 25th, 2011 (Click link for full story)
Nicole McLachlan ~ A Cove Guardian
"Those involved in the dolphin hunt in Taiji have conveyed numerous times in recent past that they no longer slaughter bottlenose dolphins… They basically do so, so the world is under the impression that they do not kill ‘Flipper’ dolphins, they know that to kill hundreds of the species of dolphins which the world have come to know and love deeply- would mean more of a public outcry for them. I have heard claims that they have been ‘refraining’ from killing bottlenose dolphins for numerous years now.Today is one of several days I have seen the dolphin hunters drive and butcher bottlenose dolphins during my time here in Taiji… Approximately ten dolphins were caught and slaughtered this morning.
Today was also a day where the topic of culture played a role in one of the most emotional mornings we’ve had here…
After Cove Guardian, Bob entered the water of the Cove, those around us- locals and members of the Fisheries Union became interested. Bob stayed in the water for the entire time the dolphins were being driven into the killing cove- he stood waist deep, and was in deep meditation.
Soon after, the Coast Guard showed up to the cove, as well as members of the Police just as they would on any other slaughter day… they stood and watched, however did not tell Bob to exit the water. After a short while, he returned to the rocky seawall- where there were Coast Guards there to meet him… It is not illegal in any way to swim in the cove, unless you cross the nets- where you will be charged for ‘Interfering with Commerce’. The Coast Guards told Bob that he should be careful not to disrupt the fishermen- but due to Bob not breaking any laws, the Coast Guards merely had a quick glance at his passport and that was it. The cove is a National Park, free for any member of the public to be in.
The police said similar things as the Coast Guards when they came down to talk to Bob… mentioning that it is not illegal to swim in the cove, but the fishermen are not to be disrupted.
One of our Cove Guardians, and now one of my good friends, Nao, is a young Japanese girl- who has worked closely with wild dolphins in the past, and is strongly determined to seeing the end of the dolphin slaughter in Taiji… today was an emotional day for her- as we all struggled seeing the slaughter, but in particular seeing the bottlenose dolphins in the killing cove- the species that she would frequently interact with in the wild. She said to me as we both sat on the seawall overlooking the Japanese fishermen in the cove, and hearing the struggling dolphins, that she considers dolphins as her friends, as we both choked back tears. To be confronted in such a blatant way by this aspect of Japanese ‘culture’ has been hard for all of us- however I cannot even fathom how she must be feeling… She holds a strong love and passion for dolphins just as I do myself, and to hear these fishermen referring to these animals as ‘fish’ as they were being slaughtered was overwhelming today. Every day I am in awe of her courage and determination to stand up to people of her own country and culture, to let them know that the killing of dolphins must be stopped… She has deeply inspired all of us Cove Guardians"
Without continued International pressure these horrendous killings are not going to stop...please consider an action every day: send emails from different accounts, make phone call to your local Japanese Embassy, call to the various agencies in Japan...post on your Facebook wall and invite your friends to become involved, tweet out links to the updates daily..there are so many simple things that you can do to help to save a life...a life that is being taken brutally and inhumanely every day. Be the voice of our Dolphin Friends ~~><(((º>~

Moving Misty
First Hand Account by Nicole Mclachlan - A Cove Guardian
Describing what happened last night, I knew, would be a difficult task…
Put simply, because it didn’t feel real. The whole event felt like something out of a movie. Like a scene where the main characters were under siege … And it had all the important elements and makings of a blockbuster; cops, undercover filming and muffled radio communication…
However, it was very, very real. Throughout the entire night, we were all subjected to countless emotions; worry, confusion, anger, fear, sadness, adrenaline and finally exhaustion. We never totally expected any of it to occur last night- but the fact that we were all present, ready and working together as an amazing team made a whole lot of difference… and we were able to capture the footage that we needed.
Yesterday afternoon was when it had all began. We had heard a few days previously, from a member of staff at Dolphin Base that they were contemplating moving Misty into another tank… we were unsure what to make of this statement, but vowed to be there if and when it happened.
After checking the harbour, visiting dolphin base and having lunch together yesterday, the boys; Andy, Tim (Save Japan Dolphins) and Simon went into Taiji to see if there was any sign to suggest that they might be moving Misty. Andy positioned himself in almost the only spot in Taiji to get a good look at Misty’s tank without being seen. He climbed a nearby hill, and hid amongst the undergrowth. Meanwhile, Simon and Tim returned to the hotel to retrieve a few Radio devices, in order to communicate with Andy. When Simon came up past our rooms and mentioned what was happening down at Taiji, I grabbed my camera and passport, and hurried to join them. We drove to a nearby lane, just around the corner from Dolphin Base… we knew that if the trainers were to spot us anywhere near the Dolphin Base as they attempted to transport Misty, that they would most likely abort their task. We wanted to be unseen, at least until we knew for sure that they were undertaking the operation.
Story continues here: Moving Misty
Without the dedicated, dangerous work of the Cove Guardians this story would never have been brought to light. Please share this story with all of your Social Media contacts and friends. This is a small victory for Misty, but we must work towards the ultimate goal of freeing all of these dolphins that are crammed into pools far to small to support them.
Thank you for your love of dolphins and for your work to see an end to the slaughter and capture in Taiji.

Save Misty: Immediate Action Required
Misty is fighting for his life and the offer by Paul Watson of $5,000.00 to save Misty has been turned down.
There are reports that the people at the hotel are asking that we stop phoning and emailing...NOT GOING TO HAPPEN: here is the phone number and the email contacts :
From North America - dial 011-81-0735-59-3514 or send e-mail to info@dolphinbase.co.jp. Keep your comments polite, please!
Please Send an email to the following:
There are three people at JAZA we would like you to direct an email towards in Japan to raise the awareness of Misty. JAZA, the Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums. JAZA is a member of WAZA:
1. Mr Kenichi KITAMURA, Executive Director. exdjaza@sirius.ocn.ne.jp.
2. Mr Eiji Fujiwara, President PAH03724@nifty.ne.jp
3. His Imperial Highness Prince Akishino Fumihito (Also President JAZA) information@kunaicho.go.jp
The following sample email can be used
Dear Mr.
I am writing to you regarding an issue of great importance that requires immediate action if we are to save a life.
A dolphin known world-wide as "Misty" is seriously ill and being held in horrid conditions at the Dolphin Base Resort in Taiji, Japan. The tiny pool in which she floats is filled with murky green water. Algae collects on the sides. There appears to be no fresh water circulating. Dead fish collect on the bottom of his filthy pool. Misty hovers in one corner of his pool. He is alone and clings desperately to a small yellow buoy. Experts who have reviewed footage of Misty agree that he is not only physically ill, but also showing clear signs of extreme psychological trauma.
I am requesting that immediate action be taken to save the life of this dolphin. Top experts from around the world stand ready to do whatever it takes to bring Misty back to optimal health. PLEASE help us by directing the Dolphin Base Resort to immediately improve the current living conditions and level of care given to Misty AND to cooperate with outside organizations such as Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and others who have the expertise and facilities to save the life of this sick dolphin. Ultimately, we believe that Misty's welfare would best be served if his care was transferred to these groups, who are willing even to pay Dolphin Base Resort for the dolphin.
Thank you for your prompt and immediate attention to this matter.
Yours Sincerely,
Your Name
Time is of the essence...please get involved ..it takes so little to save the life of an innocent dolphin.

Fisherman's Catch of the Day - Breathtaking Photo
IT'S the one-in-a-million shot some people spend years trying to capture.
Fisherman and photographer Matt Deans wasn't even thinking about picking up a camera until moments before this dolphin leapt from the water beside his boat on Friday.
He was motoring back from an unsuccessful day's fishing with his father and cousin when they saw the lone mammal 5km off Coffs Harbour.
The 33-year-old grabbed a battered old point-and-shoot camera he keeps on the boat to take fishing photos.
"It was just one of those magic moments when all the elements combined," he said yesterday.
"I saw it and said 'Just cut the motor back a sec, we have a dolphin here'. Then as soon as we cut the outboard back, it let fly."
Breaching the ocean's calm surface, the dolphin arced high in the air before splashing down and disappearing underwater.

Where Are The Stars - The Cove PSA
Dear Stars,
I saw your friends. They were not doing well and they wondered where you were. They really appreciated your little video encouraging others to help. I have a blog with a whopping 17 followers, so my reach is slightly limited compared to yours. But, I’m trying.
I watched as your friends were killed and wondered why you weren’t here for them. Your Friend Is . . . DEAD!
Thanks for making the P.S.A. I’m sure your friends appreciate it.
Mike Lorden, Cove Guardian
Is it possible that the stars in The Cove P.S.A. may have not actually seen the movie itself which would explain their reluctance to serve as Cove Guardians. I was wrong. Just over one year ago, Ben Stiller stated how he and his friends had seen ‘The Cove.” See video below:
Please feel free to share this post. Thank you to my friend Holise E. Cleveland Cyber Whale Warrior for his tireless efforts to bring this horrendous issue to the forefront and for his generosity in sharing his posts with me. Thank you for stopping in to share your love of dolphins.

Wait a second! Did I hear Ben Stiller say that the killing had stopped? This video was posted in November, 2009! Do you mean to tell me that no one has told Hollywood that dolphins are still being massacred? Is it truly possible that not a single animal-loving star has heard about the continued holocaust of Taiji, Hell? If that’s the case, we are doomed! Or should I say, many more intelligent cetaceans are doomed!
You know, maybe I am being too hard on them. Maybe it is our own fault that we would care too much while others don’t care enough or not at all. Maybe we should just be happy with what we have . . . a video:

Do The Japanese Embassy's Get our Emails
Reprinted with permission from Cyber Whale Warrior
As Cyber Whale Warriors, it is one of our duties to monitor the situation in Taji, Japan. When the evil fisherman set out for their inhumane slaughter, we act accordingly by sending emails to Japanese embassies, consulates and even the Japanese Prime Minister.
I would like to share with you an email I received from my friend, Jaki. She writes:
Messaged them!~ I wonder if they get even half of what I send?
My response is as follows:
Jaki,
I will share something with you that I have not mentioned before. Chances are, they have filters in place. What this means is that, if you send multiple emails to them, the computer will filter out the duplicates and they will only see one of your emails. There are ways to get around this: 1) Use different email addresses to mail “from.” 2) Make the body text of your email different each time.
They do respond with a general statement. Chances are, this response goes straight to your junk mail because you get the same response for each unique email that you send them. The good news is that we are gumming up their server. If we each send a hundred emails, they are receiving hundreds of thousands. If we are mailing to a consulate or embassy during its normal business hours, they may not be able to use their email system or they will have much difficulty, at the least. Furthermore, they are to have an individual or individuals read and catalog each unique email. Keep this in mind when mailing them.
There is a person at the end. Who knows who this person might be. It could be the Prime Minister, but I doubt that. If they are smart, they have college interns doing this job for free. That means there could be a young and hungry mind reading your email.
So, the next time you fire off a few hundred emails, make them count. What you say is very important. What you say could very well touch the heart of the potential hero that changes the world to a better place.

I hope that this list will assist you in discovering your own cities Sister or Twin in Japan and that you will reach out to the authorities in your city to get a message to the people of Japan to Save the Dolphins...the citizens of Japan have been kept in a News Blackout about what is happening at #TheCove, #Taiji and it is time that they are given the truth.
If your city has a twin that is not listed here please post it in the comments section...as always thank you for taking the time to visit my space and share your love of our friends the dolphins.
