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.
