At the present time in the waters off of Taiji innocent dolphins are being murdered by some Japanese!This awful situation is repeated year-in-and year-out by people who see dolphins as competitors! These Japanese murderers kill these dolphins because they think dolphins do not have the right to have the same access to food that these Japanese do! This is so selfish of these Japanese murders! "The town continues to hunt small whales, such as melon-headed and pilot whales, as well as dolphins; commercial activities which are not regulated by the IWC (The International Whaling Commission). What these murderers are doing is against the law and against the morals and values of our World! Acquarium owners actually gain access to the dolphins and whales in Taijii using the most brutual forms of transportation imagineable! Imagine being forced to live in a truck without adequate water, and food, well this is what these Japanese are doing each and every year illegally!
"The Japanese fishermen are indiscriminate. They kill any species that approaches the coast. Sea Shepherd crew have witnessed the killing of:

Dolphins have been found to be extremely intelligent! New scientific research has lead scientists to indicate that humans should be treating our dolphin friends as "non-human persons" (please read the article at the following link:http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/article6973994.ece ) As stated in the article: "The researchers argue that their work shows it is morally unacceptable to keep such intelligent animals in amusement parks or to kill them for food or by accident when fishing. Some 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises die in this way each year." Dolphins are extremely social in their behavior! They live in family groups just like we humans do and they communicate in a highly sophisticated manner just as we humans do. And yet at the present time the Government of Japan, and for that matter no Government on this planet is willing to do anything to stop the slaughter of our dolphin friends!
We have to stop this slaughter of dolphins in Taijii waters and in all of our World! What can you do to save dolphins from being murdered in Taijii right now? Firstly you can make a pledge right now to stop visiting zoos and acquariums! As stated at: http://savejapandolphins.org/take-action/help-spread-the-word "Some members of the dolphin display industry support the slaughter by rewarding whalers with cash for live show dolphins. Others support the slaughter by simply ignoring it.Most of the approximately 500 dolphins currently held in Japan's 50 dolphinariums were captured during a violent and deadly dolphin drive hunt. Many of these Japanese dolphinariums are members of the Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums, also known as JAZA. Despite the fact that JAZA members keep the brutal dolphin hunt alive by doing business with the dolphin killers, WAZA welcomes JAZA as an association member!"
Please sign the petitions at the savejapandolphins.org website! Signing them may make a big difference in the lives of dolphins on this planet!
You can also make a difference to the dolphins by calling Japanese embassies using the following list. Please be polite when you call. however also tell the Japanese that the Japanese Government needs to intervene and stop this illegal hunting of dolphins and whales in their waters! My friend you are the voice of our Dolphin and Whale friends,their only voice and they need you to speak out for them and tell the officials in these embassies that we are not going to tolerate the murder of our dolphin and whale friends any longer! Tell them that you are not going to buy goods and services from Japan unless the Japanese Goverment intervenes and stops this murder of our cetacean friends once and for all!
If you want proof of just how bad the killing gets in Taijii waters, then take a look at this photo, a photo which was taken in 2009: Yes that red color in the water is blood! The blood of innocent dolphins and whales, which were murdered by these Japanese!
