There are over 100 Dolphins who have been taken prisoner in Taiji and who are dying a slow death, alone and out of their natural element – Taiji, japan

CAPTIVITY !!!

 

Captivity: A prisoner being held captive during a war.

Captive: Without the ability to escape.

(Source: Cambridge English Dictionary)

 

The main driving force behind these cruel drives/slaughters is the desire of the Taiji hunters to capture dolphins, train them and sell them to the highest bidder for a sizable profit.

According to the Japan Times, there are currently 150 dolphins “on order” to be sold before the end of their fiscal year in March 2016.

150!!

One of the oldest simplest business concepts that we learned in our economics class in elementary school, was called, “Supply Vs., Demand”.

As long as the demand remains in place, there will always be someone who is willing to be the supplier.

What is the source of this “demand?” There are dolphinariums and marine parks under construction and opening their doors at an alarming rate. People from all over the world attend these facilities when they go on vacation because they want a “swim with the dolphin” experience.

The 1st world citizens are the people that are boosting the profits and supporting these facilities, and where do you think these facilities get their dolphins??

In addition to our Cove Guardians guarding and reporting daily from the Taiji cove, it is time that we started applying pressure around the world to stop the attendance at these marine parks and dolphinariums.

I get messages every day with people asking me “What can I do to help?”

Well, here is your answer and your opportunity.

If you are supporting and standing with us…if you are watching the live stream and yelling at the screen in anger…if you are sickened by the actions of these cruel hunters for their inhumane actions, then I hope you are equally as shocked, horrified and critical toward every family member, friend, co-worker or acquaintance, when they choose to patronize these facilities.

Guess what…. the people attending and supporting these places are no different than the hunters themselves. These "supporters" are equally to blame for the atrocity that we see in Taiji for 6 months out of every year.

Take action now. Stand up to these patrons, educate them, shame them..do something to make them understand what they are facilitating...

Do this now,

BEFORE THERE ARE NO DOLPHINS LEFT IN THE OCEAN !!!
