Japan Dolphin Day

WDCS joined WSPA (World Society and for the Protection of Animals), CSI, Cetacean Society International and MARC (Massachusetts Animal Rights Coalition) on Tuesday for international Japan Dolphin Day in front of the Japan Consulate in Boston.  Over 20 dedicated individuals showed their support and joined us to peacefully voice our opposition to the brutal drive hunts in Japan. WDCS’s inflatable dolphins definitely made an impact and hundreds of flyers were handed out to the public. Thank you to all of you that showed up!

The hunts commenced in Taiji, Japan on September 1st, and since then over one hundred Risso’s and bottlenose dolphins have been slaughtered.  The drive hunt season extends through April, and we need your continued support to end these hunts. Over 2,000 dolphins will be killed this season.  Please contact the Japan Embassy in Washington, DC  to continue sending our voice of concern and opposition to the authorities in Japan!  See also www.drivenbydemand.org for more ways that you can help.
