Title: Petition to stop the slaughter of dolphins in Taiji
Post by: Tigerlily (Allison) on November 12, 2013, 09:28:41 AM

Please follow this link and sign as many as you can: http://thetaijilist.blogspot.co.uk/p/sign-petitions.html
This barbaric practice starts in September every year and goes on until March. Hundreds of dolphins are captured for use in 'amusement' parks and the ones that aren't thought suitable are slaughtered using the most inhumane methods imaginable.

As well as highlighting the suffering of the dolphins in Taiji there are other petitions listed.

Thank you Jezebel  :hug:

I was watching the live feed from Taiji cove last night and it's heart breaking. A pod of 20 - 30 dolphins were captured and of those 12 were taken into captivity the rest were slaughtered, and in the most inhumane way you could imagine  :'(

Allison, I can't watch the slaughter, but thank you for bringing this to our attention, I had no idea and am appalled.   

Sorry for looking away, but my head cannot take these levels of cruelty. I have signed the petitions, though, and hope it makes somebody sit up and take notice of this barbarism.

There are group of 25 - 30 pilot whales in Taiji cove that were captured last night and will be slaughtered tomorrow. This has to stop and will only stop if people keep putting pressure on the Japanese government.

Please! Please! If you haven't signed the petitions, do it now.

Thank you!
