Okinawa Begins Dolphin Hunts AFTER 20 YEARS.....

Please read this article (above).

 

This is HORRIBLE news. My WORST fears materialized.

 

I've alerted Ric O'Barry (savejapandolphins.com).

 

I'm no longer in Oki, and feel helpless - except that I can try to

spread the word, and motivate others to ACT quickly to this news - and

try to END FURTHER HUNTS with a barrage of bad press and threats of

boycotts to Okinawa's fledgling eco/green tourism programs.

 

I noted this other article:

Perhaps the cruise line will forego this stop in the future pending an

END to all dolphin hunts in Okinawa.

 

Again, this is the worst news possible for Okinawa -- where dolphins

had been swimming somewhat safely for 2 decades.

 

If you can help spread the word -- PLEASE DO.
