Fisherman spears dolphins
Each year from October through March, in small towns
across Japan, thousands of dolphins and small whales are confined and
brutally killed. These slaughters take place in fishing towns including
Taiji, Iki, Ito, Futo and Izu. During those months, Japanese fishermen
herd whole families and pods of dolphins, porpoises and small whales
into shallow bays and mercilessly hack them to death. Most of these
small cetaceans are sold as meat in restaurants and stores, while some
are destined for a life in captivity.
In addition to the small cetaceans being massacred on the beaches, Japan
kills approximately 100,000 more marine mammals (primarily porpoises and
dolphins) in its fishing industry. This killing must stop!
