Julie
Brown Dear Ladies and Gentlemen & Honored dignitaries of Japan, I
write to express extreme distress, anger and sadness at the annual
dolphin and whale slaughter and capture still being carried out in
the Japanese town of Taiji. These dolphin/whale drives are brutally
cruel, completely unnecessary and have no place in the 21st century.
Japan is an advanced and otherwise beautiful country. It has the
history and the capability to become the world leaders in marine
conservation. It is unfortunate that the reputation of an entire
nation is being tarnished by the work of a handful of people.
Dolphins/whales are not fish, they are mammals. Dolphins/whales
breathe air. They have feelings. They have emotions. They have
self-awareness. They are social, complex, intelligent beings. Even
the nursing mothers and babies “iruka” are slaughtered with no
mercy or they are stolen for a life of misery confined to small pools
in aquariums. In the world of civilized nations, no wild animals are
being eradicated like the dolphins/whales are being slaughtered in
Japan. I understand that cultural food issues are complex, some
people eat cows, pigs, chickens, some eat bunnies, dogs and cats,
insects, etc. Yet the number of people who enjoy eating dolphin/whale
meat is dwindling, especially as people become aware of the issues of
mercury toxicity. The Japanese Government has the power to stop the
hunts and I humbly ask you to appeal your representatives and work
towards a move to end the annual slaughter. Taiji could be a mecca
for tourism if the dolphin/whale slaughter stops. Dolphin and whale
watching tours prove to be lucrative tourism activities elsewhere.
Hopefully the thirteen fishing boats could replace their banging
pipes and spears with binoculars, cameras, and other souvenirs of a
joyous experience on your shores. The Internet and Social Media has
created a deep awareness across the globe. There is a deepening
appreciation for the sentience and wonder that these beautiful
animals possess, their rich family and social life, the trusting and
helpful interaction with humans, and their rightful place in the
oceans. There is nothing that will hold back this exponentially
growing movement From around the world, we work diligently against
the taking of migrating dolphins/whales that pass by Japan. They are
not yours to take. They are not yours to kill. They are not yours to
take captive. They are not yours to sell. Whether it is mercury-laden
meat from the slaughter of precious dolphins/whales, or the
condemnation of a miserable life in captivity, we will NEVER give up
until this brutal practice ceases forever. We will not go away. We
will never be silent.
イルカを自由に暮らさせてあげてください。
お願いします。

Andrew
Hayden To whom it may concern,
I have been watching with
disgust the events that have been unfolding in Taiji Cove, Japan over
the last few months and especially last night. 200 Dolphins
(including a 'rare' albino baby - are currently awaiting slaughter,
due to take place in around 4 hours time). I wanted to ask your
representatives if they were aware of the public outrage that is
brewing with regards to the senseless killing of thousands of
dolphins, with barbaric and inhumane methods, and what is being done
to put a halt to this massacre in Taiji by the Fishermen's
Union?
This scenario is a MASSIVE shame on Taiji and everyone
involved who are making millions of dollars out of this morally wrong
slaughter. The development in Taiji overnight takes the biscuit, and
really does need highlighting and raising further on the
international stage. 'The Cove' film brought it into the spotlight a
few years back now, but it seems like nothing has changed in Taiji -
or for it's supporters - since then. Henceforth, our company and
employees have agreed not to make any purchases from Japanese
industries, including: cars, cameras, technology, clothing, etc...
and all vacations to Japan have been postponed. This is sad, as Japan
is a beautiful country with lovely people, but we would be
hypocritical to repeat our past excursions for company global
meetings, while this is happening. This is now our policy for ANY
country abusing Oceanic mammals in a cruel manner, whether it be
Japan, Iceland, USA, etc...
We look forward to your
reply.
Kind regards,
Andrew Hayden, B.Sc.

Hayden-Media
STATEMENT FROM SEA SHEPHERD (today)
A colossal
pod of 250 plus Bottlenose dolphins including babies, juveniles and
one baby albino dolphin is being held captive overnight in the cove
right now. It will be a total of 19 hours before they will endure the
torture of being ripped from their family and selected for captivity.
Those not selected will be slaughtered for human consumption.
The
dolphin killers discovered the enormous pod, and just after 10am we
spotted two separate dolphin drives just over the horizon. The pods
were massive. As the killing boats rapidly progressed toward Taiji,
the dolphins attempted to escape many times and were eventually
driven in as 5 separate pods. The killers were merciless as usual in
their attempts to herd these dolphins into the cove. The nets were
drawn and the pods were driven in one by one until all five pods were
combined into 2 sections. Left divided into two separate groups over
night.
This is the largest pod to be driven into the cove in
several years, last December 2012, a Bottlenose pod of nearly 200
dolphins was dissected for captivity and slaughter and the process
took several days. At this time, it is unknown if captive selection
will occur tomorrow morning as Saturdays are normally a day off for
the Fishermans Union. This pod is far too valuable and worth millions
of dollars. The baby albino dolphin alone is quite
priceless.

Dolphins belong in the ocean, with their family...please, order Taiji to release those precious souls.

Erika Robinson Shameful and disrespectful that the Japanese government allows Taiji to continue to slaughter entire families of dolphins and whales in their killing cove. If they only want captive juveniles to resell, then why kill then entire family? The meat is toxic with mercury so the people are not eating it. This is pure GREED and pretty soon the entire globe is going to boycott buying anything made in Japan and countries may impose trade embargos until something changes. Countries may even boycott the 2020 Olympics.

HealingNoah Please stop slaughtering the dolphins. It is not only
inhumane and cruel to such beautiful creatures, which if continues
will eventually lead to extinction, but it also unsafe for human
consumption due to all the toxic chemicals and radiation.
Please
stop killing God's beautiful creatures. There are many other ways to
earn money, rather than cruelly murdering such human-like creatures.
Or just as worse, selling them to a life of inhumane captivity,
merely for the sake of greed and entertainment.

E Cayer @JPN_PMO Please do not allow the super pod currently
trapped in Taiji's cove to be taken into captivity or butchered for
human consumption. Whale and dolphin watch programs are a huge
success worldwide. Japan could be the leaders with your beautiful
waters and wonderful variety of species to witness. PLEASE, PLEASE,
PLEASE evolve and lead the way in the effort to save our
oceans.
Respectfully, PSEC
Emma Watts I am so saddened to read about the capture, kidnap and murder of the pod of 250 dolphins in Taiji... This cannot be allowed to continue.

Elena
Nedkova Dear ministers,I understand that the people of Taiji are
proud and want to keep their traditions alive. But not all traditions
are good to keep, what is happening this very day in Taiji is
shameful for the village, for the prefecture and for the whole
country. I cannot believe that any rational being will see as
tradition kidnapping a baby form its mother, but the baby is an
albino dolphin and it is worth a lot in cash, so this make me think
there is no tradition there, but just greed and I find this shameful
and disgraceful.
Please show us that Japan is not a barbaric
country, please show us that honor, justice and freedom are values
well known for you, please stop the slaughter and kidnapping of those
peaceful and intelligent creatures.

gain? As you well know the world is watching and hoping you make the
right decision.
The Dolphins cannot talk in a language we yet
fully understand so we have to be the voice for them.

humans allow and inflict on defenseless creatures.

Michelle
Osborne Nixon A colossal pod of 250 plus Bottlenose dolphins
including babies, juveniles and one baby albino dolphin is being held
captive overnight in the cove right now. It will be a total of 19
hours before they will endure the torture of being ripped from their
family and selected for captivity. Those not selected will be
slaughtered for human consumption. At approximately 7:30am dolphin
killers and trainers transferred 3 Bottlenose dolphins from the Taiji
harbor pens to Dolphin Resort Hotel. The 3 dolphins were transferred
in slings via skiff and into the above ground concrete tanks. This is
Dolphin Resort’s second transfer within days. The transfer was
complete, but the day was just beginning as the dolphin killers
discovered the enormous pod of Bottlenose dolphins. About 10am we
spotted two separate dolphin drives just over the horizon. The pods
were massive. As the killing boats rapidly progressed toward Taiji,
the dolphins attempted to escape many times and were eventually
driven in as 5 separate pods. The killers were merciless as usual in
their attempts to herd these dolphins into the cove. The nets were
drawn and the pods were driven in one by one until all five pods were
combined into 2 sections. Left divided into two separate groups over
night. This is the largest pod to be driven into the cove in several
years, last December 2012, a Bottlenose pod of nearly 200 dolphins
was dissected for captivity and slaughter and the process took
several days. At this time, it is unknown if captive selection will
occur tomorrow morning as Saturdays are normally a day off for the
Fisherman’s Union. This pod is far too valuable and worth millions
of dollars. The baby albino dolphin alone is quite priceless. Shortly
after the Bottlenose pod was corralled into the cove, 4 Pantropical
Spotted dolphins were transferred via truck toward Osaka. These 4
dolphins were kidnapped just a few days ago from their home, the
ocean and placed in the harbor holding pens. Cove Guardians attempted
to follow, but the truck was traveling at such an excessive and
unsafe speed, the truck’s destination is unknown.
PLEASE
DON'T LET THEM CONTINUE TO SLAUGHTER THESE INNOCENT CREATURES, THE
YOUNG ONES NEED THEIR FAMILY, TAKING OUT A FEW IS A BREAKDOWN OF
THEIR FAMILY,
THE YOUNG ONES WILL DIE, & THE CAPTIVE ONES ,
ARE TORTURED FOR LIFE, THEY SHOULD BE FREE, & I URGE YOU TO MAKE
IT SO THAT THEY WILL REMAIN FREE...SOME ARE ALL READY ON A TRUCK

YOU MUST STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY

BABY ALBINO WAS RIPPED FROM HER MOTHERS SIDE THIS MORNING ..IS THIS

What moderation are you
showing the dolphins in Taiji, as you hunt them down, seperate their
families and sell them into slavery and brutally slaughter the rest
of their families?
Tell me Mr. Prime Minister...what
moderation, what compassion, what kindness do you show them? The
albino dolphin baby that is a once in many millions in nature has
been ripped from his mothers side and brought to your hell holes to
be made into a freak for your citizens to pay money to see, instead
of him being out in the sea to be free with his family.
The
rest will be turned into fecal waste by your citizens eating their
mercury laden flesh.
Shame on you for not stopping this. SHAME
on you for continuing to lie to the world about murdering
whales.
SHAME ON JAPAN! SHAME ON THE US THAT SUPPORTS JAPAN IN
THIS BRUTAL SLAUGHTER!

Or are you just glad that they are taking the spotlight away from Fukushima? Or perhaps the war crimes of the past? Or perhaps the sadism committed against "the comfort women"? You can't go back and fix these but you CAN stop the slaughter of these creatures in Taiji NOW!

Magnus Hans Petersson I support the dolphin hunt, cause dolphins are just like any other animal. Really no different from hunting other wild game. Dolphins are the wild game of the sea. That they are "intelligent" doesn't matter, they are still just wild game, and also their so-called "intelligence" is overrated cause otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to hunt them. The hunters and fishermen of Taiji has my full support all the way from Sweden.

Over
250 dolphins in Taiji are currently being held captive, waiting for
their execution or a life in eternal imprisonment.
This is
deeply inhumane, they are very social animals and are exposed to
incredible stress and then also forced to watch the death of their
fellows.
I will continue to write to you and to inform the
press until this barbaric slaughter finally comes to an
end.
Sincerely yours.

As time goes on, you're going to see more people in the US and the world turn their backs on Japan because of the barbarity of the Taiji massacres. I cannot believe the people of Japan would support this beastly business if they knew more of it. Your point is invalid. It is like saying that it's ok to rape a baby because someone from another nation raped your grandmother. Both rapists are guilty.

Do the right thing put an end to the senseless tragedy in the Cove. End this brutal and inhumane PR Nightmare once and for all. Currently there are over 200 Bottlenose dolphins being held for a second night in a row, 25 dolphins have already been taken for the captive industry and amongst these dolphins was an albino baby. He/She was ripped from it's mother and is now currently swimming in a small pool traumatized and bewildered as to why this has happened. I ask you to intervene on it's behalf and reunite it with it's mother. In civilized society this dolphin would be afforded protection and respect show the world that the same applies from your country. Do the right thing by the dolphins trapped in the cove. These dolphins belong to the world as a whole and that is why finally the spotlight now shines on taiji and it's reputation for being brutal and inhumane. The press from all over the world has now stepped up and are now running the story of Taiji and the current events in the Cove. This is not going to go away this will now only gain momentum as the albino's plight has been the trigger to expose the truth.

Bill Hunter I pray for more red Cove days.
Marnie Gire I live in Japan and love the people and culture here. The senseless slaughter of dolphins that continues in Taiji and throughout Japan puts such a negative light on a beautiful country. I urge you to stop these killings! The world is watching and will celebrate the day you make the change to preserve these wonderful creatures and stop slaughtering them for meat and/or entertainment!

Cassandra
Daw SAVE THE DOLPHINS OF TAIJI
There are over 250 dolphins
being held captive in Taiji cove Japan, 25 have been taken into a
life of imprisonment the rest will be killed tomorrow. Please help
stop the mass slaughter of dolphins in Taiji, Japan. These
magnificent sentient marine mammals are not a human food source and
mass killing is not required to research their behavior, which is
best researched on living animals.
Dolphins in large numbers have
the potential to be a valuable tourist attraction for Taiji, the way
wild dolphins have become a valuable tourist attraction in Monkey
Mia, West Australia, and many other parts of the world. This is a
win-win: the dolphins thrive and tourists can bring valuable income
to Taiji. A little lateral thinking can keep everyone happy. Killing
is no solution as dolphins, like all natural creatures, are a finite
resource. Hunting them to extinction removes an important creature
from the environment, reducing biodiversity and ultimately weakening
the survival of all creatures. Let us work together to save the
dolphins of Taiji and make a better world.
Thank You for taking
the time to read this message.

We do not need to murder thousands of free creatures. We no longer can use the premise of need for food. When an action is further compounded by abject cruelty, a nations morals come into question.

it means that they are not endangered and not threatened, but fit for
hunting. If they were endangered, it would also say so on the
official IUCN website. So happy
hunting!

animals from their mothers like this. Or to kill the animals in a way
that makes them suffer for a long time, days even and then inflict
unimaginable pain and stress. It never is! That's not even hunting,
that is torture.
Further more, do you not know what happens to
the animals taken captive? Nothing less than concentration camps, no
regard for animal welfare.

Andree Holmes Imagine this.....if only this would be the news I wake up to tomorrow; Mr Shinzo Abe, honourable Prime Minister of Japan is set to become one of the most revered leaders of the modern world. His decision to immediately cease and desist with the capture and mass slaughter of dolphins in 'the cove' at Taiji, Japan has been met with joyous celebrations around the globe. The worlds leaders have paid tribute to PM Abe for his brave show of leadership of his nation, moving with the times and being a modern prime minister and slamming closed the door on the archaic tradition which takes place in Taiji. He explained to the world's media that he was not just responding to the millions of pleas for action from around the world but, as a leader of a modern civilised nation that it was his duty to put in place these measures as an example to future generations on the difference between right and wrong. He recognised that killing for food, survival , if it must occur can be done in a way that honours the life of a creature and done without torture or causing distress to the animal. Japan's tourism minister has responded in support of the decision and will proceed with actioning plans for a very profitable Eco friendly dolphin watching tourism trade, which in turn has made the citizens of Taiji extremely proud..........

some are killed, and others are driven back out to sea to fend for

Where is the
tradition? How can you justify this? Are Japanese people really that

wild dolphins to fund for their next hunt? How popular is this

Anna
Ellinor Eriksson Some people are asking me why the albino dolphin
is so important.
Well.... this is my thoughts.
Angel is
important because we all knew she would not stand a chance from the
start. She is special and the killers knew it to. We all saw how they
targeted Angel first, no question because she means money and
attention.
But she is also an albino, and if I understand
correctly showing signs of being deaf, maybe also blind. She is now
all alone, scared hurt and confused. She will not have the comfort of
her own senses in captivity. If she lives.
She is also important
because she is so special and unique. This helps us sparking interest
and spreading awareness for the dolphings now fighting for their
lives.
People don't give up hope. As long as her mother lives
there is still a chance they can be reunited and set free. Not very
likely but miracles do happen!!!
Japan don't let greed and pride
stop you from doing the RIGHT thing NOW!

The
hunts for dolphins in Taiji must be stopped, and the captivity
industry should be in the forefront of efforts to stop the hunts.
Instead, the captivity industry is subsidizing the hunts by paying
top dollar for captive dolphins like Angel, while the mother is
carted off to the abattoir
The group warned that the dolphins
would "face a violent and stressful captive selection process.
Babies and mothers will be torn from each other's sides as some are
taken for captivity, some are killed, and others are driven back out
to sea to fend for themselves."
By the end of Saturday,
25 dolphins had been removed from their pod and taken "to a
lifetime of imprisonment," the group said. One of them died in
the process and will be butchered, it said.
To claim that the
Taiji Dolphin Drive Hunt is a cultural tradition fails on any
credible leveL, It was because the dolphinswere 'pests' to the so
called fishing industry

Magnus Hans Petersson This albino dolphin is albino only because of a mere deformity. Just becasue the dolphin is a freak does not mean its some kind of new species. Its a Bottlenose dolphin, and Bottlenose dolphin are not endangered, they are least concern according to the international IUCN database. Furthermore, a dolphin is not a he, she, him or her, it's an IT. This thing is NOT A HUMAN BEING, it's a bloody animal, I repeat, AN ANIMAL, they do not have names and you do not use human words like "babies" or "mothers" and "fathers". Young dolphins are called calves, just like young cows. And of course, people use this as some kind of excuse to advocate hatred and even racism towards an entire nation and ethnic group. Much ado for a freak dolphin, thats all I gotta say.

ど
うぞ,
イルカや鯨を水槽に閉じ込めないで！(Please,
stop dolphin and whale captivity!) Making money killing dolphins and
whales is damaging the reputation of Japan worldwide. The news of the
250 dolphins netted in the cove in on many international media as for
instance CNN online e tv.
Milca Vds Japan kills the ocean with its fauna&flora (Fukuchima nuclear radiations) and its most intelligent inhabitants, the dolphins (Taiji)...
Cheryl Huxted You are SHAMEFUL. as the world watches a small town terrorize cetaceans. And displaying the rare albino rather than leaving it in the ocean with its entire family is despicable! I have no interest in any Japanese product until this abhorant action ends. As PM, its up to u to call an end to the drives and release all the bottlenose that are now in the cove, including those that have already been taken captive! # boycott Japan!

How can you even expect to get the OLYMPICS? Ever heard of KARMA? What goes around comes around. If you keep on killing these animals bad things will continue to happen to your people.

Magnus Hans Petersson It's not just a small village Sorrell, dolphins and whales are hunted all over Japan, and you know why? Cause cetacean meat is a part of their food culture, just like certain animals are a part of the food culture in your country. This is fully comparable to other modern food cultures of Europe, Australia and North America. Just cause the animal rights extremists focuses on one village does not mean its the only one, there is other places in Japan where dolphins are hunted to supply the nation with cetacean meat, that people likes to eat. It seems very obvious that they dont actually care what you think.
KL Bourque I am visiting your page to tell you that I am boycotting Japan because of the continued kidnapping, torture, abuse and BUTCHERING MURDER of dolphins at Taiji. This is so barbaric that I can not even be polite because this has gone on for decades. How can your country allow this to happen. Are your Japanese citizens all psychopaths? Do you not hear the dolphins scream? Do you not educate yourselves as to how innocent and intelligent and self-aware dolphins are? HOW can Japanese as human beings butcher dolphins????? The world is watching you in disgust. You should be ashamed and for those Japanese who EAT dolphin meat from this slaughter - I hope you all choke and die. Those poor dolphin souls who are being MURDERED RIGHT NOW. DISGUSTING JAPAN. DISGUSTING.

buisness. No different from the food culture of Europe, North America

eating animals is natural, and occurs in every single country in the
world. Of course, they eat different animals in different countries
and I accept that.

Trying to stop? As
far as I can see, they have not saved any single dolphin! Not a
single one! Does not seem very successful. One thing they are very
successful at however, and that is bringing lots of money to the
Taiji local economy by staying at their hotels, buying fruits and
vegetables from their stores and refueling their cars at Taiji gas
stations.

Wong Dora According to the recent decrypt japanese war time files, the Americans should reestimate the evil mind of their ally Japan. After Japan announced the surrender and withdraw from China, Japan troop 731, they planned land japan before American troops and distributed germ warfare weapons in Japan, waiting for the U.S. military stationed in Japan and launched full-bacterial war against Americans.. They even planned to use their own women's bodies to carry bacterials to " contaminate" American troops during sexual intercourse.

Anna Kanauka I respectfully request that the Prime Minister take note and stop the vicious and cruel massacre of one of the most beautiful, gentle and intelligent creatures on the planet. Japan is known for its appreciation and respect for beauty. This harsh and disgusting tradition conflicts greatly with the world's perception of Japan. Please put a stop to this.

You allow babies to be ripped from mothers. These are creatures who live in family units with names, and relationships. Please stop it now before it harms more dolphins and causes your country greater loss of respect.

Cause there is not any whales here! Most of the waters surrounding
our country is brakish, and extremely unsuitable for whales and
dolphins. The Baltic Sea is way, way too fresh for most oceanic
creatures.

How can these people take claim on something that is NOT theirs and and then turn around and and make a profit on it? Now the Taiji whale museum is blatantly lying to the world saying they "rescued" the albino dolphin. Are they serious? The entire world watched what really happened!

Peggy-Sue E Cayer Dear Mr. Prime Minister, tonight will be the third night that the dolphins will be held no food in the Cove @ Taiji Japan. Just that alone is MAMMAL cruelty. We have to remember that these mammals have larger brains than Humans, they are sentient beings , they are not barely able to even swim due to FATIGUE and being manhandled by the so called Trainers and Fishermen. We have had two die ; the stress was too great after what they saw. Family Unit broken apart, they have Family ties, this was a HUGE FAMILY. PLEASE WATCH THE ARCHIVES ON SEA SHEPHERD COVE GUARDIAN TWITTER LIVE STREAM PAGE. PLEASE AND YOU WILL SEE HOW ALL THESE DOLPHINS WERE DRIVEN OVER CALLOUSLY. It was said today, when the baby albino "named ANGEL " was ripped away from it's Mother during CAPTIVITY ( it's on video ) the Mom went underwater and did not SURFACE. Do you find any of these actions offensive in any manner MR. Prime Minister. I respectfully say, you were LIED to about the baby being alone, she was with the pod of 250 still undergoing massive ABUSE and no medical aid

Adeline Ng Dear Sir, the human race must progress and if Japan would step up now and push the human race forward with your help in this unprecedented move to eradicate the unnecessary slaughter and hunt of whales and dolphins in Taiji or in any parts of the world's ocean, a tradition whom Japanese have regarded as a revered culture of Japan, imagine sir, the amount of head waves Japan would create in the world of humanitarianism with your office at the helm of it. Japan will no longer be just known as a country with good "household products" brands, or a country with the ever unrecoverable markets since its last down turn, but truly, a great nation spear heading mankind existence under your watch, by refuting traditions that do not benefit nor advance its people or the human race.

Tip Burrows No one is trying to bring down the Japanese economy Bill Hunter we are simply trying to stop the barbaric capture and slaughter of dolphins. Even the worst abbatoir would not treat animals with such cruelty. The oceans are dying. The Japanese think dolphins and whales are decimating the fish stocks which is not true and they have no science to back that up. They think they are entitled to kill anything that swims their way and in the most brutal fashion and really it's only for the big bucks that marine parks pay for fresh wild dolphins. We do not have the right to enslave these creatures and Japan does not have the right to torture and abuse them. It's called animal cruelty what is done to them and it's illegal in most civilized countries, why not Japan?

Deby Browne @Bill Japan will not be getting tourism ! Fukushima along with Taiji slaughters are keeping people away … Who would go to Japan and eat any fish or ""Whale" meat that is really "Dolphin meat for a nice dose of mercury and radiation poisoning … The Japanese Govt is LYING about Fukushima and soon the fishing in Japanese waters will stop because it is so highly contaminated due to the seepage of contaminated ground water … Who knows what foods in Japan are safe to eat ?

Irene Kucyk the oceans are dying and are covered in blood - there is no excuse for the killing of dolphins - you have no excuse - none - Japan is the 3rd largest economy in the world - you have a huge manufacturing industry - the killing of dolphins would make no difference to your economy - none. your problem is, you just dont care for the opinions of most of the world.

This is not a activity of honor or tradition... this is pure bloodlust for greed and $$$$$. The world is watching and a very strong swell is growing against Japan.... With all the problems you already have with the radiation from Fukushima polluting the ocean you don't need the children of Japan being poisoned by the radiation filled Dolphin meat from the Taiji butcher houses. It is in the best interest of japan and the world for you to end this now. Again The whole world is watching....

Deby Browne Actually Tourism in Japan was down by 27% but now that the reality of the ground leakage and the obvious lies by the Govt to cover the real extent of the leakage and contamination is coming to light I think it may drop further again ! 2013 may have been a good year but I can't see it lasting
Bea James ForLennox Magnus Petersson, while the albino is a Bottlenose dolphin she is rare because she is an albino! DUH!!! The hunters knew and recognized this as do the Marine Facilities. She was the very first dolphin to be enslaved yesterday. the hunters wasted no time in getting her to the shore and onto a sling.She is a coo for the Taiji Whale Museum in terms of exploitation.. Best you be better informed before you make your incorrect statements next time. Due to her being as rare as she is, international media coverage of Taiji is occuring.. the world is rallying... yep just another ordinary Bottlenose right Magnus? LOL!!! Phfffft!

Magnus Hans Petersson hunting a few hundred or 1,000 Bottlenose dolphins will not harm the oceans whatsoever, they are not endagered, which means you can hunt them sustainably
Bill Hunter That day will not happen. Even if it did, the activities in Taiji would not contribute to it.

Magnus Hans Petersson Much ado about a freak dolphin. Being deformed does not mean its some kind of new rare species, its still a Bottlenose dolphin, not endangered and not threatened. Or are ALL deformed animals more special than those that are not deformed? So if a moose is born with 3 ears or if a cow is born 1 teat more than the others, its a special and rare animal suddenly? WTF?
Bea James ForLennox And Bill that is where you are wrong! the world does know and in the past two days media and press from right around the world have been plastering the horrific story of Taiji.. many read the papers and many watch TV. US Ambassador speaking out against what is happening,Social media has gone ballistic with many big name celebrities tweeting their disgust.. fans are paying attention.. yep a few feral losers hmm might be speaking about yourself there Bil! might throw Bogan into the mix as well..

Bea James ForLennox Oh and Bill one more thing when the US Ambassador to Japan on behalf of the US Government tweets regarding the reprehensible acts of Taiji that is pretty significant!!!
Telsa de Lange Dear Japan, please stop the barbaric acts of torture going on in Taiji's cove. These beautiful dolphins belong to the earth and the oceans, not to you. We are supposed to be the caretakers of the creatures that live on this planet, not their torturers and abusers. I beg of you to open your hearts to compassion and your minds to the awareness that there is more to life than greed and money. In Buddhism the highest and universal ideal is to continually work for a permanent end to the suffering of all creatures, not just the human animal, but all animals, all living beings without exception. Buddha said: "One must not deliberately kill any living creature either by committing the act oneself, instructing others to kill, or approving of or participating in acts of killing." I pray that you wake up and see the great evil that you carry out in the name of your God “Money” ... remember that when you die, you cannot take the money with you. Only your acts will go with you ... your acts of cruelty of inflicting pain on harmless creatures that have never wronged you. Please save the dolphins. Their blood is on your hands.

Imagine
experiencing a noise so loud that it could cause not only
disorientation, but also physical trauma and brain bleeding, as well
as bubbles that form in your organs. This is a very real possibility
for thousands of whales and dolphins exposed to US Navy training and
testing. The Navy recently released a report containing data from two
environmental impact studies which confirm suspicions that testing
could have devastating consequences for marine mammals off the U.S.
east coast, Gulf of Mexico, Hawaii, and southern California between
2014 and 2019.

She had been kept safe from predators in her first year of life by her massive family and mother and by the looks of it she survived all that nurturing and protection just fine without the hunters or taiji whale Museum's interference... yep she is ecstatic alright!! This is the kind of BS sadly that the press would have the people believe rather than the truth! Fukushima is fine.. not leaking, under control, is safe yep and the reality was it wasn't any of those things reported in your paper now was it!! The rest of the world knew the truth but TEPCO,Japananese press and the Japanese Government insisted on conning their own!
Clare Easton I humbly ask those who can do so to make a change for a positive world community, including stopping dolphins being slaughted in japan. All I can do is protest and write a letter or sign a petition... Please do something for good and put an end to this prime mister of japan and world leaders- let's make this world a better place so your children can look up at you and know you made a change in the world. This isn't being racist- and people should not be racist when talking about this as it does not help the cause. It is a plea to those that can to please make a change so we as human beings can work towards a better future for our planet. Thank you

Bea James ForLennox Oh and Toru another lie that has been spoon fed to the Japanese populous is dolphins are fish!!! Wrong dolphins are mammals!! and here is another.. dolphins are vermin as they eat all the fish supplies... Oh hang on amongst the ocean 's inhabitants are dolphins. who's food supply is fish. Humans ie Japanese and their trawlers go into their domain overfish and then blame them for the dwindling stocks yes that works as an excuse now doesn't it!! Lets blame the inhabitants of the sea for our vile deeds to justify more vile actions..

Zoi Modelling Regardless is the ethical points raised in torturing, enslaving and murdering one of the most intelligent mammals on earth that are protected my international treaties. Look at the ecenomical arguments. Surely in a time when Japans economy is struggling, the Japanese government has better things to spend its money on that subsiding dolphin murderers. It is knows that the dolphin meat is stockpiled as nobody in Japan wants to eat it after learning of its contamination of mercury. Maybe a better was to boost the areas economy would be to copy the practice of eco tourism as they do in Hawaii. This brings large sums of money to the Hawaii people and does not show the Hawians to be barbaric as dolphin hunting does to the Japanese. Tourists flock to Hawaii, after the Cove exposed what happens in Taiji, western people do not want to visit any more.

Eunice Yen Being a member of our Earth Village, I urge you guys, the Japanese government, to save and free the dolphins. What the Taiji is doing hurts your nation and Japanese people's fame as well as makes us heart-broken. Japan has many proud traditions, no need such cruel tradition!!!

Bea James ForLennox The image of one lone dolphin being manhandled by 11 divers in wetsuits at the cove is doing wonders for japan's image Toru.. Hmmmmmm.
Angela Harrington The world is watching Taiji because of the horrific acts taking place. The dolphins are not being treated humanly [ 3 days in shallow water with no food- ] It is proven that there meat is toxic when eaten. And the general public are beginning to turn away from animals in captivity but favour eco tourism. We have seen the greed factor over the past 3 days out strip the vail of "tradition" . Do not let this towns actions tarnish Japan as a nation.

the thirteen fishing boats could replace their banging pipes and

Surali Shah-Neville The murder and kidnap of whales and dolphins in Taiji MUST stop. Everyone knows the meat is contaminated with mercury, why would you allow your children to eat what will poison them? The fact is, this is all about greed and nothing about culture. Just in the last couple of days, the amount of money exchanging hands for kidnapped dolphins is massive. Japan's image has been truly tarnished, the world sees you as a cruel and evil people. You, the government, can stop this. And people will respect you if you do....

Deby Browne @Bill Hunter You have excellent and valid points …. THe slaughters in Taiji are really not necessary as I have said before as they are not edible and the fact that Taiji pass this off as whale meat is wrong ! If you need to fish for your survival or fish to maintain your food source that is cool but to just kill for "tradition/culture" is crap especially when the oceans are already rapidly being depleted just through greed from commercial fishing. The average local fisherman in Taiji is not even allowed to fish there ! So we know it is the "big boys" denying the locals the money made from these slaughters anyway … You may need to check that but really they at this point in time are apparently not allowed to fish in their own waters ! Can you tell me that the men and trainers fishing there are the average joe blow local ? Or are they the only ones with a license to fish here ? There is a good documentry that was made years ago that is still very pertinent to today and shows the result of the over fishing by commercial corporations. It is sad that the average hunter/fisherman has been branded with the reputation of the greedy commercial corporations. Don't blame Sea Shepherd you need to look at the commercial side that has actually denied the local fisherman and hunter the rights to hunt/fish.

It is not my right to judge people with different views or cultures. I do however have an opinion and currently Taiji is one of them as I fail to understand unnecessary slaughtering of a cetacean that is not even edible as being just stupid and wasteful. Lying to your fellow country men and feeding them poisonous meat disguised as whale meat is morally and ethically wrong.

Roxane
Rambert-Bigler Dear Ladies and Gentlemen & Honoured
dignitaries of Japan,
We write to express our extreme
distress, anger and sadness at the annual dolphin slaughter and
capture being carried out in the Japanese town of Taiji right now. We
beg for these dolphin lives. The dolphin drives in Taiji are brutally
cruel, completely unnecessary and have no place in the 21st
century.
Japan is an advanced and otherwise beautiful country.
It has the history and the capability to become the world leaders in
marine conservation. It is unfortunate that the reputation of an
entire nation is being tarnished by the shameful deeds of a handful
of men and women in Taiji.
Dolphins are not fish and they
shouldn’t be referred to as a fishery. Dolphins are mammals.
Dolphins breathe air. They have feelings. They have emotions. They
have self-awareness. They are social, complex, intelligent beings and
it is shameful that no compassion is being shown toward Japans
dolphins. Even the nursing mothers and babies “iruka” are
slaughtered with no mercy or they are stolen for a life of misery
confined to small pools in aquariums. In the world of civilized
nations, no wild animals are being eradicated like the dolphins are
being slaughtered in Japan. Even fish have size restrictions. Even
during deer hunting season, it is not acceptable to kill baby “bambi”
fawns.
Japan, we plead with you as we know you have compassion
and humanity, please do not kill the nursing mothers and babies
“iruka”. Please spare the juveniles and pregnant females. Please
stop this senseless, inhumane slaughter. Akachan iruka to ninshin
shiteru iruka o ziyuu ni. PLEASE!
My family, my friends and I
have joined the global boycott against Japan. We shall boycott all
products that come from Japan. We shall join the boycott of all
tourism and will not travel to Japan until the Taiji dolphin drive
stops! Furthermore, we will spread the word globally via Internet,
mail and public education about the atrocities committed inTaiji
every year. We love Japan and her people but we cannot and will not
support a nation that allows such cruelty.
The Japanese
Government has the power to stop the hunts and we humbly ask you to
appeal your representatives and work towards a resolution to end the
Taiji dolphin drives.
Taiji could be a mecca for tourism if
the dolphin slaughter stops. It is true that the dolphin hunting,
capture, and slaughter cause a shameful stain on Japan’s reputation
and it is unfortunate that Japanese leaders do not end the hunt.
Japan will be so much richer once it ends its destruction of whales
and dolphins.
The dolphin drive brings dishonor to Japan. The
world is watching…
Sincerely,
· 9
Mary Alice Petch-Pollard Taiji could be such a beautiful place - if it were not for the dirty business of the live dolphin trade and slaughtering. Hundreds of thousands dolphins being ripped from their ocean homes will be the end of your dirty business because there will not be any left soon in the oceans - for every one taken you also take the possible 16 young they would have produced, and so on and so on - I would visit Taiji in a heart beat if you turned the capture into wildlife ocean tours - the world would want to be there to visit them in their natural ocean homes ! Now that is good business ! How can a country so advanced sit and allow these so few to continue when it does nothing but bring world wide shame to your country,

Chin-yao Shih We can be proud of lots of traditional cultures; yet, it is absolutely unnecessary to hold the tradition of dolphin slaughter most scared. The Taiji in Japan do not fish the dolphins for survival & starving but for money & tradition. What they are doing not only breaks our hearts but also harms Japan and her people's fame. If the Japan government were wise, she must have helped stop the Taiji dolphin slaughter.

Julie Price On the 17th January a horrible crime was committed, A rare baby albino dolphin was rounded up along with its mother and herded into Taiji cove where it was netted up for over 20 hrs. Then as thousands of people took to social media and the national global media became involved. The world watched as IMATA selected the rare baby first, Its mother frantic and already stressed. Frantically tried to get to her baby. After 30 minutes of Spy hopping. This mother then surrendered herself to the ocean and never resurfaced, Now Taiji whale musuem is proudly displaying this baby as the Japanese media tell the lies that the baby was never taken in the way as portrayed by the world, However with Japans secret now blown. and the footage shot by the cove guardians and viewed by thousands.

Pam V Longenecker stopping the kidnapping and slaughter is a whole lot faster and easier than trying to repair one's global reputation and regain one's honor and trust...the choice was out there and not only was a very unwise one made, but obvious lies were spewed in the process...tsk, tsk, tsk. // i also wonder...i see a few people trying to deflect what is happening...but NEVER DOES THE PM make any comments. is he locked away, like the animals, only to perform an exact routine when released by his handlers?
Nigel Ross Stop the shame that Taiji brings on your nation. The world is watching the slaughter. Soon the biggest boycott of Japan and its products will begin.

Daniel
Tham Dear Sirs,
I want to express my deep concern about the
inhumane insanity that is still happening in the Cove of Taiji Japan
every day !
Yesterday 5 pods of dolphins, all together 250
dolphins with many juveniles, babies and even a rare ALBINO BABY,
were locked in the Bloody Cove - waiting for the judgement of the
fishermen and trainers : being taken in captivity for life which is
hell for those wild beautiful creatures - or …. being butchered and
sold in the meat industry.
This has NOTHING TO DO WITH
TRADITION anymore - it is all about GREED and MONEY !!!
It is
about time that the world did something to STOP THIS YEARLY
BUTCHERING of dolphins. Sometimes I think they want to extinguish
them !
We live in the 21st Century, and mankind is supposed to be
the leader of this planet. This planet is urgently in need of GOOD
LEADERS, that care about all living creatures that live on it.
Dolphins are the most intelligent mammals of the ocean, the Old
Egyptians spoke of them as THE HUMANS OF THE SEA !
To my
opinion the whole world is to blame for this TAIJI HORROR, what is
happening there is ann INSULT TO HUMAN INTELLIGENCE !
So please,
you have the power to do something about it, as the leaders of the
world ! It's about time you took some action !!!
Thank you in
advance and with all my respect I'm sending you my best regards,

Tabi
Lu It's really horrible to see people harrass a country which is
brought up on a tradition and culture that those OUTSIDE of that
country do not understand.
Unless everyone who is saying that
these animals should be set free and such because they harvest the
meat, then everyone should become vegetarians as we do the same in
our backyard. There are livestock raised in buildings which never see
the sun to where they are raised to be killed. There are machines
created just so people can easily remove a head of a chicken like
someone turning on a blender to make a smoothie. And that is just
some of the examples that are in our backyard.
And before
anyone points out saying, have you seen how they killed these animals
on video? I have but I have also seen how people in our home country
kills animals in person. Why don't others shove that footage in your
face like you all do to these people? Anyone would have a queasy
stomach from either footage.
And don't get me wrong. I believe
the baby albino dolphin should be raised to be set back free into the
while because of how rare it is along with the other dolphins that
are not processed for meat. The ones who are sent to captivity, I do
not agree with because that is a circus and a lifetime prison
sentence.
So before you go criticize and point the finger at
others, why don't you first take care of your backyard.

S Aus R PLEASE HELP US TO STOP THE DOLPHIN-SLAUGHTER THAT WILL BEGIN
IN A FEW HOURS IN TAIJI!!!
Every year the fishermen of Taiji
(Japan) corral hundreds of dolphins in a secluded bay, select a few
dozen for sale to aquariums and marine parks and stab the rest to
death for meat.
This year (at 17. January 2014) fishermen and
divers in the village have caught at least 250 dolphins! They caught
25 dolphins in a process to select captives before the mass
slaughter, environmentalists said Saturday.
On Sunday a fishing
industry official in Taiji said some dolphins had already been
slaughtered, although he did not disclose the number.
Activists
from the militant environmental group Sea Shepherd have streamed live
footage of the dolphin capture in Taiji, which drew worldwide
attention in 2010 when it became the subject of the Academy
Award-winning documentary "The Cove".
After having
her baby (the white dolphin "Angel", which is in Taiji
whale-museum know) kidnapped for captivity, her mother was
continuously spy hopping. After 30 minutes, we never saw her
resurface.
PLEASE HELP TO STOP THE HORROR

Caroline Lubbedarcy Please stop the Taiji dolphin slaughters. This looks very bad on your country. I have vowed not to buy anything made in Japan until Japan stops dolphin/tuna drive hunts and whale hunts. The world has witnessed this hunt live on-line and is horrified. Petitions, tweets etc. Does Japan want this stain on its image? I would think not! And do your people eat the mercury-laden meat from the ones that are slaughtered after the brutal selection process of dolphins for the 'entertainment' industry? They should know that the mercury levels in this meat are toxic, just like they are in the blue-fin tuna you are stock-piling... You already have issues with radio-activity thanks to Fukishima...do you want health issues related to toxic levels of mercury in your peoples diet? THINK! Please stop this. If you have to hunt an animal the way you are to conquer it, it was not meant to be caught! These are NOT clean kills. Like I said: THE WORLD IS WATCHING and we are deeply saddened by this.

Catherine Smith "Dolphin slaughter in Taiji continues
because of the captive trade. Please do not support aquariums &
parks with marine mammals,"
"Japan's fleet carries
out an annual whale hunt despite a worldwide moratorium, taking
advantage of a loophole in the law that permits the killing of the
mammals for scientific research. Whale meat is commonly available for
consumption in Japan.
Environmental activists warn that
dolphin meat, also sold for consumption in Japan, contains
dangerously high levels of mercury and other toxins."

Iris Koch I have respect for Japanese culture and I know it is not "the Japanese" or "the Asians" that are slaughtering dolphins. There are about 20 so-called fishermen killing off these wonderful animals and tearing families apart. This is neither tradition nor culture it is just pure cruelty towards a highly intelligent and emotionally developped species. Please Japan show some heart and stop this crime... Reunite this rare white baby dolphin Angel with its mother and also the other dolphins that have been taken captive. It would be an amazing sign for a better and more humane future... Please do the right thing!

Gimmer Mann Look how foolish and coward china is, "The seven-member standing committee, led by Chinese President Xi Jinping, have arrived at a consensus that the country has "no intention of fighting with Japan and Japan does not have the courage to fight with China," after convening a rare two-day meeting in late October in Beijing with Chinese ambassadors from about 30 neighboring countries, one of the sources said." But the reality china is scared of Japan because if they hands on Japan, Filipinos will help and crush china into ashes. China is a coward dog who knows how to bark but afraid to bite, poor china!
Tiffaney Patmore I agree that we shouldn't be bashing Japan. There are many in Japan that do not believe in the tradition of dolphin capturing and slaughter. I am a Canadian, and there are many things that we do and support in Canada that I am not proud of (i.e. factory farming, seal hunting, marine parks) so I agree that we need to work on improving our own backyard (it is also why I am a vegan). But with that said, I welcome outside criticism if it means that something can be done. That is why I am imploring the Japanese government to please end the senseless tradition that is taking place in The Cove. Dolphins are sentient creatures that deserve our respect and protection. It is genocide what is happening to them. They are being ripped from their families and forced into a life of imprisonment. It is the Japanese's responsibility to end these heinous acts. Please act now before it is too late!

Dolphin
run-in fishing most brutal in the world was held this year in the
Faroe Islands of Denmark.
Dolphin of about a hundred horses
Trapped, one side coast is the blood of dolphins cut in local
fishermen with a knife
It was enough to turning red.
The
thing with the criticism from Europe and the United States, local
inhabitants in the run-in dolphin fishing that takes place every year
in the Faroe Islands
I have complained and that this run-in
dolphin fishing is a traditional fishing method, the importance of as
preserved food in the winter.
However, it has become the
subject of dispute whether there is a need to eat dolphin meat in
rich European food. No complain to this?
Magnus
Hans Petersson Bea, when I said in 2011 that Japanese tourism is
booming, people like you said "that was 2010!", when I said
in 2012 that Japanese tourism is booming, people like you said "that
was in 2011!", and when I said in 2013 that Japanese tourism is
booming, people like you said "that was in 2012!"
You
are vicious liars and only true idiots would believe the things you
are saying.
Magnus Hans Petersson And non-endangered dolphins are not protected by any kind of international conventions or treaties whatsoever. Maybe in your mind cause you are dolphin lovers, but not in real life. They are protected in many western countries because of hypocrisy, thats true. But not internationally.
Brigitte KiBa 豊 かさの世界では、 貪欲な選択です。" 海は血で染まり、イルカの悲鳴が空気をいっぱいにします。 その肉をスーパーマーケットなどで販売し、日本の漁師が信頼する生き物を虐殺。これは野蛮な行為です。 これらの友好的で愛すべき哺乳動物は、彼らが殺害されている認識しているということを専門家は確信しています。 イルカは、人間とゴリラのように、自己認識しているのです。 日本の太地の小さな漁業の町で、ビデオ撮影をした反捕鯨グループのメンバーは語っています。 彼らは、鏡を見て、彼らが見ているものを認識していることができます。彼らは信じられないほど頭が良く、彼らに何が起こっているかを正確に知ることができ ます。 イルカ捕虜は日本がメンバーになっている絶滅のおそれのある野生動植物の種の国際取引に関する条約で禁じられています。 まだ約2万イルカは太地、日本では毎年、法的に殺されており、大部分は海で殺されているが、何千頭もが、沿岸のラグーンと入り江に沿ってイルカ狩りで殺さ れています。 13の船で漁師が並ぶと鉄の棒で水を叩いて起動します。その音がイルカを混乱させ、彼らは方向感覚を失うのです。 漁師は、彼らの頭の中にスパイクフックポールを刺し殺します。 頭からは血が吐き出し、死ぬまでに6分ほどをかかります。 私たちは、これらの雄大な哺乳類を守るために立ち上がります。 無数の命を救ってきた海の私達の友達、私たちを危険から守ってくれるこれらの知的で人間的な生き物を、冷淡良心なしで虐殺をするのをやめて下さい。 彼らは生きるために、私たちに助けを求めています。 私たちが彼らの唯一の希望です。 これらの雄大な哺乳類は、自由に海で生きるべきです。 あなた方の権力やお金の為の野蛮で残酷な行為、虐殺をやめて下さい。

Hans Petersson Japanese media does NOT tell people that dolphins
are fish! Everyone today knows that they are mammals, you know like
cows, pigs and sheep. I have eaten minke whale meat (which I guess is
similar to dolphin meat) and it does not taste like fish, it tastes
like a mix between moose and ox. Its clearly a mammal and a really
tasty one at that. I tend to view them as the wild game of the sea,
havets storvilt.

Ellen Fay Daley Please stop the dolphin slaughter. Dolphins are family oriented and intelligent. This is one of the most barbaric things I've ever heard of. Pods are being separated and members of the family killed. Japan is known for culture and art and intelligence of it's people. This is so appalling. Please stop this roundup and hunt. Let your legacy be for what is right.

Enid Fox Magnus, that is fine. You can eat any meat you'd like. This form of hunting is not necessary. They are killing many dolphins that they won't eat or capture. They are wasteful. I would not object if they hunted from their boats but netting wild marine life is illegal many parts of the world for a reason. It is not a true hunt. It is simply a mass capture. BTW, marine mammals have high levels of toxins.

Pam V Longenecker bill, dearest, there needs to be a beginning before we can get to the end of all killing. pointing at everything else that needs to be done is only a sad attempt to deflect what is happening in taiji. and what is happening is something that SHOULD be very simple to end. there's only a handful of participants surrounded by apathetic, or impotent?, govt officials.

Becky White Please stop the dophin hunting in Taiji & anywhere else it takes place. Please return the baby albino dolphin and the other captive dolphins back into the wild where they belong. Please release the captive dolphins in Taiji cove back into the ocean. Please burn the nets and re-educate the fishermen. I would ask you to burn the fishermen too, but I think Karma will get them in time. The people of the world now can see clearly what is going on in Japan, and they are not happy.

You have to ask the question is this the positive attention that you want your country to have? I feel that you may be answering no to that one. I along with many others day after day phone, fax the fishermen s union in Taiji along with the mayors office and beg for mercy for baby dolphins and mothers to be spared from the hands of the hunters. Well Your Honour No more. We the people hold the power. We the people and I say the people because momentum is fast gathering speed. and now we the people are coming together as one. Say enough is enough. Either you put an end to Taiji or we will do it for you.

Anca
Rugina I am horrified at the actions of japanese fishermen in
Taiji, brutally murdering, abusing and kidnapping dolphins in the
Cove of Taiji, every day of every year, september to march.
I am
writing to let you know about my protest against these killings under
the name of tradition or custom.
The dolphins are sentient
intelligent beings and they do Not belong to Japan.
There are
people who love and respect these beings and would like their
children to see these marvellous creatures alive and in their natural
habitat, not prisoners in museums or entertaining parks, as
endangered or extinct species.
It is time Japan alined to the
rest of the civilised world in respecting and preserving the lives of
the dolphins, whales and animals in general.
Please become aware
of the consequences of your fishermen's doings, on both the oceans
and human beings who care, and give us reasons to be grateful for the
wisdom of your nation.
Thank you.

Jade Jones Your Honor I am fully aware of Taji's past as I have done my research. They seem to think the enemy is out their. Well the enemy is and comes from within. Dolphins are naturally majestical and spiritual creatures. Yet Taiji slaughters over 20,000 in a 6 month period year on year. and we are not talking one species either. From the way I understand it the quotas have not been changed in over 20 years. So you have to ask the question. Are Taiji decimating the dolphin population and could add to the actual extinction of some of these species. I also understand that the fishermen of Taiji say well the dolphins eat our fish. Well lets look at that shall we. not all species of dolphin do eat the same fish. but yet these fishermen spend so much time dolphin hunting when are they actually fishing?.

Jade Jones And last but not least of all the crimes to be committed is theft from the ocean. Dolphins live in tight pods. families over the generations sticking together. Just as we the human race do. Yet mothers and calves are separated. half their families are being butchered to death whilst a few yards away some may be being selected for the captive industry. Your Honor I make this offer to you. Step forward as the head of your country, start to change what is so clearly a negative and lets turn this into a positive. I say lets work with us and we will work with you. in the meantime these 200 dolphins have been netted up for 3 days with no food, confused, hurt, traumatized. Please show them some mercy and instruct that they are immediately released without harm and set free and allowed to go free. Please immediately instruct that Taiji fishermen do not do any more dolphin drive hunts. now and for the future.

Hans Petersson " There is only 14 albino dolphins sightings

A
deformation does not mean rare. In the same way, if a moose is born
with 3 ears it does not mean its rare, it means that its a freak. Of
course all individual animals are unique in the way that they are not
the exact same. Deformed animals may look significantly different,
but a deformity is not a species, its just a visible individual
characteristic. And they let IT live instead of becoming bacon, so
relax.

I.m an Albino dolphin
by name. my freedom has now been traded for a so called life of fame.
This was not my decision you see. this was made by IMATA and the
fishermen of Taiji.
Rounded up in nets and left for hours trapped
in the sea. we waited and waited clicking to each other as busy as
bee's. When your held like this its hard to hope you may be set free.
We are not alone in our plight. Around the world their are people who
give a voice to our fight. They phone, they fax, they twitter this is
to much. these people do a good job of kicking up such a fuss. I.m a
priceless find one so rare. Now finally it seems some media really do
care. I've caused a sensation a baby revelation. I.m surrounded by
people and angels who beg for our mercy.they give up their time for
baby dolphins like me. United you all stand, Never divide you will

Rita
De Ferrary Butcher house is being prepped for slaughter of the
remaining dolphins in the killing cove. Dolphins have been
deliberately run over by the skiffs, and brutalized. This is abject
cruelty and abuse. After nursing babies have been ripped from their
babies, multiple bloody injuries and deaths due to abuse.
The
captive marine mammal industry is brutal and no one should buy a
ticket to any one of these hell holes.
Japan you should be
ashamed of yourself! These dolphins do not belong to you, they belong
to the oceans.
I will never buy a product that is made in
japan, and I will tell the world not to support anything to do with
japan. If you have another tsunami, I will never send any money to
your country for you to poison your own people and brutally kill
dolphins>

Bill Hunter http://en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_countries_by... If you believe global warming/climate change.
Anaheim
Elec I posted this on CNN article but it has declined,So I post
it here. CNN is doing censorship.Can't believe that when it is free
speech world news agency...it's like a Chinese media. People of
Taiji,they are just doing their job.Why?Because that is the way they
live their daily lives.You people,those who say "that is
barbaric" etc. is destroying their lives.Then in your country
there are no people like this?No one kills animals as their
job?Cows,swines,chicken.sheep?Taking other lives are cruel thing!But
its equally cruel.We,humans cannot live without something of
"lives".Japanese people say "Itadaimasu" which
means the gratitude to who made the meal,and to the lives sacrificed
for you.And after the meal"Gochisousama".
In fishing
towans like Taiji,or other towns,they have memorial shrines or tombs
for the memorial of sacrificed whales or dolphins.When foreigners
visit those places,they come to know that Japan had such places.Is
this a cruel thing? Including all these,it is called culture.In
Japanese notion,there are no rank in animals lives which is
intelligent or which is not.All animals are equally treated.For me,
it is unacceptable by ranking them.That leads to discrimination.Some
of you say they are intelligent,so it is bad to kill them,then is it
okay to kill stupid ones?No way.So,when you see animals being killed
in slaughter houses of cows for example,it is full of blood.Those
places are usually concealed and not opened to public.Taiji is just
the same thing.When you eat beef,you do not think how it is being
killed.You see only well packed meat at supermarkets.Or already
cooked like McDonald's hamburger.Do not judge by your own point of
view please.We are not the same as your countries.We live in the
different "world".

Tim Engquist Hey PM Abe, what about the $200 million the US gave you for your radiation clean up that you diverted to murdering dolphins???????
· 2
Magnus Hans Petersson You cannot "murder" something that is not a human. Last time I checked, the laws of Sweden as well as in every single other nation in the world (including Japan), murder means to kill humans illegally. Biologically we humans may be animals as well, but in terms of law and order, humans are seperate from animals, and its never called murder when its an animal, no matter how "intelligent" or "cute" that animal is. And to capture a wild animal is not called "kidnapping" either. Kidnapping means to illegally hold a human being captive against his or her will. You cannot "kidnap" an animal.

Dan Drexler I can think of 250 reasons posting on this page has never done anything but hurt your own cause
Fareed Khan Mahatma Gandhi said that the greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it treats animals. By this measure Japan has the morality of a nation that lives in the medieval era (rather than the 21st Century) when animals were to be used and exploited until they were no longer useful and if they suffered pain and cruelty at the hands of humans during their existence then that was just too bad for them. The way that Japan treats dolphins (and whales) is an abomination, especially considering the level of intelligence displayed by these animals. It is unbecoming of a nation that claims to be a modern and advanced democracy, and one that considers honour to be paramount. However, the annual dolphin slaughter in Taiji instead brings dishonour to the Japanese people and the nation in the eyes of the rest of the world. I and millions of others around the world beg that you erase your shame and dishonour by forever cancelling the annual dolphin slaughter and releasing captive dolphins back to the wild. To do otherwise is to continue to bring shame upon your nation and future generations of Japanese.

cases like self defense, or war.
There is many animals that
has probably never killed humans, like for example moose, roe deer
and white-tailed deer, does that mean it should be illegal to eat
those or what?

Mahatma
Gandhi was a scumbag wife beater, racist and pedophile, so I will
never listen to anything that idiot had to say. Needless to say,
pretty much all countries in the world has that view of animals,
including yours. Maybe not on dolphins since many countries are
hypocritical, but on animals in general, in particular farm animals.
So if you are thinking in those lines, your country is also in the
"medieval era", unless you believe in animal hierarchy
where some animals are considered as worth more and valued than other
animals based on their appearance.

Claire Mellish Taiji is not about culture, it's about greed and blood lust. There is no honour in causing one of the most intelligent species to suffer such torture and abuse. The dolphins are trapped for days, terrified and without food as pod members are captured or killed. Skiffs often re-enter the cove and run over injured dolphins (as on video today). The method of killing is inhumane - a wooden peg hammered in, death is not fast. A terrible shame on Japan

Magnus
Hans Petersson John Rickerson: idiot, the word murder is a legal
term that ONLY applies to murder. You can not, I repeat, NOT be
charged with murder for killing an animal, no matter which animal it
is or how its done.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder
"Murder
is the unlawful killing, with malice aforethought, of another human,
and generally this premeditated state of mind distinguishes murder
from other forms of unlawful homicide (such as manslaughter). A
person who commits murder is called a murderer."
You see,
the word "dolphin" is not mentioned ANYWHERE in the
article, murder is only to kill a human if its done by a human.

Georgia Prosser With the most respect I contact you as the ultimate leader of your country. I am sure you are aware of the events over the past few days in Taiji Japan, the Albino Baby and the super pod of dolphins that have not been fed in over 3 days. Please let this baby and mother be together and live out their lives in freedom in the sea, as well as the rest of their family.The entire world is aware of this and it is absolutely appalled that humans can be so callous to any animal, especially ones that are so extremely intelligent, trust human, actually save humans lives, and mean us no harm. They are full of toxins and are not fit for human consumption. This is very well documentated. Please stop this slaughter as Taiji is shaming your country beautiful country. It is not Japanese tradition. It is not Japanese culture. It is nothing but murder in the eyes of all, which includes compassionate Japanese people. Thanking you in advance for taking humane action to stop this outdated practice.
Magnus
Hans Petersson "The fact that the Japanese Fisheries and
Govt allow this meat to be sold and eaten disguised as whale meat is
wrong"
Dolphins are whales, specifically, toothed whales,
look it up
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothed_whale
The
term "whales" is not official though, its a common name
(though not official) for cetaceans, sometimes including all
cetaceans. And therefore, dolphins are whales, and therefore, their
meat can also be labeled as whale
meat.

Deby Browne Dolphins are a sub species of a whale … and should be correctly identified as such
Deby Browne @Magnus >>> Some species are noted for their high intelligence. At the 2012 meeting in Vancouver, Canada, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (the world's largest science conference), support was reiterated for a cetacean bill of rights, listing cetaceans as non-human persons.[2]

Natalie Wickli No wonder magnus is pro slaughter as he eats whale himself.. even my aunt from norway broke her "tradition" by stopping to eat whale. Didnt hurt her.. -.- and yes certaceans are very smart have selfcousiousness and therefore and for many other reasons even here in switzerland we have decided (because herd things get decided public and things arent hidden from public) to treat them as nonhuman persons.. and also its a joke calling us racist.. my friend is also from japand and shes against animal cruelty (is she now racist against herself?)! And noone is against japanese in common but rather against their leaders allowing this torture/slaughter to go on.. PLEASE JAPAN STOP IT!

Hans Petersson
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_slaughter
"Slaughter
is the killing of animals, usually that of domestic livestock for
food.
The animals most commonly slaughtered for food are
cattle, water buffalo (for beef and veal), sheep, goats (for lamb and
mutton), pigs (for pork), horses (for horse meat), and fowl, largely
chickens, turkeys, and ducks and increasingly fish from the
aquaculture industry (fish farming)."
Sounds like a
proper description of what hunting is, too bad many uses it as an
emotional word.

Magnus Hans Petersson Sara Devine: India has NOT declared dolphins as non-human persons. It was merely a SUGGESTION by ONE Indian dumb politican. It does not say anywhere in Indian law that dolphins are persons, and the Indian laws are all available for you in English. It may be illegal to have dolphin shows in India, but it does not say anywhere in their law that dolphins are persons, it was just a suggestion by a politican. Mind you, its also illegal in most parts of India to under any kind of circumstances kill cows. They would probably consider YOUR country as "barbaric" for killing cows.

Daw SAVE SHOUJO - DOLPHIN MASSACRE CONTINUES Commentary from Sea
Shepherd founder Captain Paul Watson
We Must Save Shoujo, the
baby albino dolphin.
Captain Paul Watson has given a name to
the baby female albino dolphin presently held captive in Taiji,
Japan.
This little girl lost her mother when she was
forcefully separated from her mother’s side and taken aside to be
appraised by the prospective buyers from the marine aquarium trade,
all of whom are eager to purchase the rare white dolphin to display
at their facilities for the amusement of paying spectators.
The
mother was last seen spy-hopping amongst screaming, wounded and
frightened dolphins in a bay filled with blood.
Shoujo is the
Japanese name for Bambi. It simply means “girl” and like Bambi
this albino Bottlenose dolphin lost her mother, and also like Bambi
she is a symbol of the destruction of innocence and beauty by a
ruthless group of humans motivated by greed.
Capturing
dolphins for display in aquariums is not part of Japanese culture and
the brutality of this slaughter would never be legally accepted in
any abattoir in the world including Japan.
Dolphins are highly
intelligent, socially complex gentle marine mammals. There can be no
moral or cultural justification for the cruel and wasteful slaughter
of these magnificent sentient beings.
The fishermen of Taiji
are bringing international shame upon the entire nation of Japan and
because of this small and stubborn group, all Japanese citizens are
being unfairly portrayed as being insensitive and barbaric.
In
the name of human decency and for the sake of all future generations
this shameful crime against nature and humanity must end.

are so concerned with "honor" need to take a hard look at
this barbaric practice or face consequences. You, as the UN

Louise Rhodes With utmost respect as the office of the Prime Minister of Japan, I ask that on compassionate grounds, the albino dolphin and the remainder of the 250 dolphin pod be released. I also encourage your office to invest in eco-tourism of dolphin tours and swim-with-wild-dolphin experiences. This has been done to great success in Australia and is far more noble than capture of wild dolphins for captivity or inhumane slaughter. Thank you for considering my request and I look forward to your reply. I would be the first customer of many for a new eco tourism venture where the dolphins remain wild and at the same time Taiji council and business make money.

Hans Petersson "Then maybe you should get your head out of

Already

town that is the center of Sweden's mink and chinchilla fur farming
industry, infamously portrayed by AR's nationwide as the Mecka of fur
farming.
Magnus
Hans Petersson And I'm not trolling here
"The fur
farming industry in Sweden refers to breeding of mink
and
chinchilla for their pelts. The mink farming industry is by far
the
largest. It produces 1.3 million pelts per year. There are about
180
mink farms in Sweden with a total turnover of SEK 360 million
per
year.
Mink breeding is widespread geographically, but a third
of the industry is concentrated to the municipality of Sölvesborg in
Blekinge. The chinchilla farming industry produces about 2 000 pelts
per year. There are about 15 chinchilla farms. The total turnover is
SEK 1.5 million per year.
A ban would have very negative
effects on the municipality of
Sölvesborg."

James Rigg Sorry Magnus, I think most people are concerned about the cruelty being suffered by the dolphins at the hands of the Japanese, rather than how well travelled people are. If it makes a difference I'm from England, I live in Australia, and have visited 8 times more countries than you have. And given the limits on the geographical area that you have actually travelled, it would be a safe bet that someone who travelled across the US will have actually travelled further than you. Besides, you are clearly fat and unintelligent and I doubt any amount of travelling would ever change that.
· 6
Magnus Hans Petersson It's not conservation to care about a small scale hunt of an abundant and non-endangered animal. And just because this freak dolphin that everyone is bragging about is deformed does NOT mean its some kind of new rare species, its still just a Bottlenose dolphin, not endangered and not threatened.
Magnus Hans Petersson James Rigg, my point was that unexperienced people who lives in their mothers basements does not have any affect on Japanese tourism whatsoever, which makes them stupid for saying that they will never go there.
Bill Hunter Wow Magnus, you attract the brightest LOL.
Bill Hunter The school yard insults have begun, your fat and unintelligent LOL. With supporters like that what chance do the dolphins have
Magnus Hans Petersson And considering these immature insults about me being fat etc it would be really, really interesting to see their comments on Paul Watson...
James Rigg Not an insult Magnus, a fact. And don't compare yourself to Paul because you're way fatter than he his. You're a complete fool to suggest people you don't know or haven't met have not travelled and live in their mother's basement. It's already been established that you yourself are not well travelled, yet you make ridiculous assumptions about others. You're a complete idiot Magnus (and it's not an insult, it's a fact).

Magnus Hans Petersson Stephanie Place, your "boycotts" are not working, Toyota was the 3rd most sold car in your country in 2013, and nr. 5 was Honda, and nr.7 was Nissan. You said the same thing in 2012, that people like you would bring the Japanese economy to its knees. Just admit it, extremists and hatemongers like you are just a tiny fraction and there is not any proof or evidence that your minimal "boycotts" had any kind of significant effect whatsoever. So keep on what you are doing, you little pathetic emotional wreck. Enjoy your Kraft macaroni.
