Japan kills thousands of dolphins in Taiji

Versión en Español

Every year, between September and March thousands of dolphins passing through the shores of Japan, particularly for Taiji, where they are caught by local fishermen with nets and enclosed in a small bay. Once locked the females are sold acaurios aquatic shows and theme parks like Sea World in America. Each dolphin can be worth up to 150 thousand dollars.
The dolphins that are not sold are taken to a small cove where they are slaughtered with knives. Their meat is sold, not always as dolphin meat.

On September 23 thousand dolphins, approximately, were killed in Japan.
The documentary "The Cove", recent winner of the oscar 2010, narrates this problem. Its directors were the first to film the killing, since fishermen, protected by police and the local government banned the move to the bay where the slaughter occurs. Using underwater cameras and other hidden in rocks and trees, which were placed at night to infiltrate into the place, The Cove, managed to film the carnage.
It is a revealing documentary, I can assure that anyone who sees it will not be able to remain indifferent to this crime.

The International Whaling Commission is a body of "regular" whaling. In some cases the commission is justified by research científca. This commission is composed of representatives from different countries, including Uruguay. In Japan justifies its whaling by Japanese ships with the argument that it is for scientific reasons and as control a "scourge", and who argue that both whales and dolphins, are killing the fish. As absurd as outrageous.

The fishing industry is killing all marine life, not just fish trawls destroy feeders and underwater ecosystems. Industrial fishing is having a terrible impact on the natural balance of species.

If you're eating fish, please, let it be for yourself or fish hatcheries. NOT be complicit in the fishing industry, do not buy fish at supermarkets and stores.

Both dolphins and whales are animals that live in communities, can travel thousands of miles every day. NO RECIST captivity, putting a killer whale in a swimming pool should be among the most idiotic things that man has done and is doing. As it does with dolphins, sea lions, seals.
NOT be an accomplice to the confinement and death of these animals. Do not attend or acauticos park acaurios.
Dolphin's smile fool you do not die of sadness.

This blog wants to help make known what is going to motivate you do not stay indifferent to such an act of cruelty. Informed and spread the word, stop in this community. Exijamosle Japanese authorities in Uruguay a response, condemn the inaction of the Uruguayan authorities. We can do between them, as a society, as a community. To do nothing is to be complicit..
