All-Out Assault: Save The Dolphins, Prosecute The Marine Warriors

Submitted by janeywhite on January 4, 2010 - 1:00am

Every once in a while, Mother Nature's spawns are targeted in the means of acquiring reputation and profits. The latest among this never-ending and growing issue turns our attention to dolphins near Taiji, Each year, nearly 2,000 dolphins are stabbed and butchered to death with the use of long harpoons - the bloodbath is unfathomable to a close 1 million victims ever since the fishing (dolphin) season has become popular in Japan's southcoast island.

The whole article about the inhuman slaughter features many humiliating treatment suffered by one our planet's intelligent aquatic animals - we are amazed on how these senile creatures can entertain us through their backflips and "walk with their tail" trick while their respective trainers toss raw meat just to energize their performance. Many may have witnessed grand yet affordable performances hosted by large aquatic circuses and theme parks - none of it makes sense and what are Hollywood actors and actresses are for? What a replacement for entertainment.

There are the positives though: as attached to the article, a film about dolphin massacres may become the eye-opener in which, fishermen out for dolphin meat and blood would be prosecuted with heavy punishment linked to their actions. A compendium of term papers and academic studies contributed to the atrocities committed by selfish fishermen - times are tough and a $500 income from every portion of a dolphin's meaty treasure is not the perfect excuse to overcome poverty nor it is a tradition that must be prolonged.

Cove shows a short video demonstrating on how fragile the lives of bottlenose dolphins - this is a good film that supports a major cause for the preservation of more than thousands of different species of dolphins and a warning to those who hunt them for cash.
