Japanese fisherman are killing over twenty thousand dolphins…

Help Us Stop Them NOW!!!


Every year, over 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are killed by Japanese fisherman. After driving pods of wild dolphins from the open sea into shallow coves with motorized boats and loud bang sticks, the fishermen kill the dolphins, slashing their throats with knives or stabbing them with harpoon-like spears. Thrashing about, many of the dolphins take several minutes to die an agonizing cruel death, turning the surrounding sea blood red.
This brutal massacre, the largest dolphin kill in the world, goes on for six months of every year, from October through April.

Even more shocking, the captive dolphin industry and marine parks around the world are a willing accomplice to the kill, paying as much as $100,000 per captured dolphin.

In Taiji, Japan, the annual dolphin slaughter starts October 1st and continues for six months. This massacre of dolphins is strongly encouraged by three local dolphinariums who purchase the “show-quality” dolphins and ship them off to marine parks in Japan and around the world. Annually, in Taiji alone, over a thousand dolphins are killed with some 50 or more captured and sold to marine parks.


The types of dolphins captured and killed include bottlenose dolphins, striped dolphins, pilot whales, false killer whales, spotted dolphins, and Risso’s dolphins.
The Japanese fishermen’s principal justifications for killing dolphins is that it’s a tradition that they are proud of, yet they have gone to and continue to go to great lengths to cover up this insidious act.  The fishermen physically confront protestors and journalists and threaten them. What the actions of these fisherman are really saying is we have something to hide and are ashamed by our actions

Much of the dolphin meat from the slaughter is sold as pet food and some finds it way to Japanese markets labeled as whale meat. This meat contains extremely high levels of contaminates including mercury, PCBs, and Dioxin and Japanese health and government officials have declared it “unsafe” for human consumption while several major Japanese grocery store chains have pulled it from their shelves, yet the killing goes on. Why, because the captive dolphin industry is fronting this hunt while hiding behind the scenes.

Its time to stop this senseless slaughter now!!!



Here is what you can do:

  1. Write the Japanese Prime Minister, Yasuo Fukuda, and tell him you will not purchase any Japanese products or visit Japan until they stop killing and capturing dolphins and whales or "Click Here to compose and send your message" directly to the Japanese Prime minister Yasuo Fukuda

  2. Do not participate in any captive swim-with dolphin programs.

  3. Do not support or visit any marine park, zoo, or amusement park that has captive dolphins and whales.
