Every year in October, dolphin drive hunts are conducted by small groups of Japanese fishermen. During the hunts, hundreds—sometimes thousands—of dolphins and other small cetaceans are herded into shallow bays, corralled into nets and brutally slaughtered.
More than 250 marine scientists and zoo and aquarium professionals have signed a statement saying that the hunts are an astonishingly cruel violation of any reasonable welfare standards, and should end immediately. Delegates from the group aim to meet with the Prime Minister of Japan to make him aware of the scientific and ethical basis for ending the hunts—and they need your support to do it.
