The Tragedy that is #TheCove Taiji Japan must be brought to World Wide Attention to motivate people to take action against the brutal slaughter and capture of dolphins by a few greedy men. Dolphins are not fish..they are second in intelligence only to humans. We Must Speak on Their behalf, we must protect them and our Oceans. Humanity needs to step up and STOP THIS NOW!

I Weep With This Beautiful Whale Who Lost Her Life
"We lost a diamond from the sky.", while addressing this recent Great One of our Watery Spaces, who had been beached in Denmark , had just had her life stolen.
I see a puddle of tears pooling below her compassionate eye. I am understanding her tears were shed not for herself, but for those who stole her life through wrong thinking, which directly or indirectly led to wrong choices and actions. She weeps tears for them, as she knows they have yet again lost an opportunity to use her plight of being in need of rescue, as an opportunity for them to rescue themselves.
If having made the right choice to come together, as one family, one community, one nation while having co-created a plan with her and the Great Mystery that would rescue her, in essence, they would truly have started the process of helping to rescue themselves.
Despite
what her family has suffered time and time again due to a society's lack
of compassio
n and awareness and greed,
she still choose to forgive and then to grace another opportunity for a
people to make a deposit in their Karmic Bank, simply by using right
thinking and right choice.
I release salted tears this moment into my
watery spaces here, while reflecting in quite reverence her plight as
well as for the recent fateful plight of the other children of God. By
her Grace, she holds with her tears, a collective of tears within that
blessed, sacred pool below her compassion filled eye; the tears also
shed by all of you; Liked-minded, compassion filled Hearts striving to
help her world and ours to heal. Tears shed by all of us who find
ourselves connected with her, The Great Mystery, and all others
traveling together within an "endless-loop-of-love".
Bless her
plight and the plight of the other children who were stolen from us
while eternally taking moments to remember her and the other children,
for we are only dead, when we are forgotten. MCH

To whom it may concern!
I am so shocked about you not letting the real experts try to save the stranded, endangered humpback whale. Did you know untrained villagers in Bali managed to do this unaided?
It is all over facebook and we are already aware that Dolfinarium Harderwijk are NOT competent to take ANY decisions about stranded whales! The Dutch authorities are being laughed at.
Thousands of people from all over the world are now following this, contacting media, and much more.
I urge you to let the rescue orgs such as The Black Fish, Sea Shepherd and others do their job at the spring tide tonight!
The world is watching you!

Please share this everywhere, with all of your networks, we need to move quickly to save this beautiful humpback whale
The story continues: Dolfinarium Harderwijk vets tried to euthanize him last night but he's still alive and kicking! So much so they've decided it's too dangerous to get near him to try again. Tonight is a spring tide, meaning it'll be higher than usual, she has one more chance to live.

Endangered Orcas Playing December 3rd, 2012
The endangered Southern Resident Killer
Whales visited Vashon and Maury Islands on December 3, 2012, searching
for salmon. As they passed Point Robinson, they burst into playful
antics that have to be seen to be believed: cartwheels, breaches, tail
slaps, spyhops, and beautiful synchronized swimming in their tightly
knit family groups.
These orcas are free to roam where they please, unlike the ones in marine circuses like Seaworld, and they never leave their mothers. They remain in closely bonded matrilineal family groups for their entire lives, which can last over 100 years for females and over 60 years for males. They swim up to 100 miles per day.
These orcas are endangered because Seaworld got its start decades ago by capturing and selling one-third of them -- specifically targeting the babies, taking an entire generation and killing many of their mothers, who were trying desperately to protect them. (All but one of those young captured whales died in Seaworld's barren concrete tanks within a few years. The sole survivor is Lolita at the Miami Seaquarium, imprisoned alone for 42 years in a tiny bathtub-sized tank.) The population of the Southern Resident Killer Whales has never recovered to its precapture numbers, and these beloved orcas of Puget Sound remain critically endangered.
Please DO NOT give your money to Seaworld, the Miami Seaquarium, or any other marine circus. Not one of them can give these highly intelligent cetaceans even a shred of the freedom and families they were torn from. Instead, please come watch wild whales in their REAL sea world: the ocean.

Thank you to Sandy McElhany for this thought-provoking article;
One third of the way into following yet another killing season taking
place in Taiji, Japan, it is difficult to find a single word to
summarize the events that occur in a hidden cove in a small coastal
village. Bizarre? Sinister? Bloody? Tragic? Ghastly? Gruesome? All
of the above and then some?
On November 1, Ceta-Base, the online database of captive marine mammals around the world, reported on its facebook page:
2012/2013 Drive Fisheries page has been updated.
Since the start of the season on September 1st, 2012 a total of 407 dolphins from four species have been driven into the cove in Taiji, Japan. Of this total 156 were killed, 221 were released and 28 were live-capture, two additional animals died (one pilot whale after live-capture and one incidental death of a bottlenose following a drive). Species captured, sold & killed include: Bottlenose Dolphins (T. gilli), Risso's Dolphins (G. griseus), Short-finned Pilot Whale (G. macrorhynchus) and Striped Dolphins (S. coeruleoalba).
Among those who understand the intelligence and complex social
structures of these marine mammals is a group of scholars known as the
Helsinki Group, who came together in 2010 in Finland. Out of their
deliberations came a document known as the Declaration of Rights for Cetaceans:
