International Day for Japanese Dolphin Slaughter - Oct 8th

[Guest guest]

International Day of Protest to Stop Japanese Dolphin Slaughter

 

Every year from October through March in small towns along the Japanese

coast, fishermen engage in the largest massacre of dolphins anywhere in the

world, killing about 20,000 marine mammals in the most brutal ways

imaginable. Most of them are butchered for meat that is sold in restaurants

and supermarkets, while some are sold to marine parks.

 

This annual slaughter continues because those who profit from selling

dolphin meat the deliberately hide their bloody actions from the Japanese

people. That is why OneVoice and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society are

organizing an international day of protest to inform the public and put

pressure on the Japanese Government to stop the killing.

 

 

 

Please join IDA and the Earth Island Institute as we co-host a demonstration

at the Japanese Consulate in San Francisco to coincide with protests taking

place around the world.
