Dolphin Slaughter in the Cove Starts Soon

Warning: Graphic footage. If you've ever thought about attending a dolphin show, then you must witness this.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has started its annual
campaign to convince the Japanese to stop the dolphin slaughter in Taiji Japan.
The area, better known as The Cove, hit the public’s awareness with the
documentary film of the carnage. Hundreds of dolphins are slaughtered annually
by herding them into the confined cove and brutally slaughtering these sea
mammals.
This killing season’s campaign is Operation Infinite
Patience by the Cove Guardians. This is the fourth season of the Sea Shepherd’s
Society efforts to stop the butchery. They have vowed to return each year until
the Japanese cease this practise.
Many of the young dolphins orphaned in the killing of their
family groups are kept live for sale to various irresponsible aquaria
throughout the world. Dolphins that are performing at various venues are
brutally ripped from their families and removed to live in involuntary servitude
to entertain people. As an ironic and horrific twist on this story, the
Japanese have now instituted a Swim With the Dolphins at Taiji. Children can
swim and interact with the recently traumatized young dolphins.
You may think I’m making this up, but I am not.
Under thing to do in Wakayama Prefecture, is the suggestion
of swimming and shaking hands with dolphins.
How about spending a dream-like time while swimming with adorable dolphins? Other attractions are also available that allow you to encounter and shake hands with dolphins. You will surely never forget experiencing the mysterious appeal of dolphins, as well as their charming behavior up close. Explore Wakayama in Japan
The accompanying photo fails to show the blood in the water
or the adult dolphins writhing in pain as they are being stabbed to death.
Do not support the dolphin slaughter by supporting those facilities that have dolphins performing for the public. Do not have your children or yourselves swim with dolphins. Money spent there helps perpetuate the slaughter.
If you can stand it, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
has live streaming during this campaign.
