About the Campaign
Revealing the Truth to the World:
Keeping the Pressure on to Stop the Slaughter

The only way to stop the dolphin slaughter is to keep monitoring, advocating, filming, and bringing attention to it.

One of the main reasons that the killing continues is that very few people — in Japan and around the world — even know it is happening.

When the drive is over each day, the bodies of the dolphins are hauled away to the slaughterhouse for processing. Our team tries to photograph the butchering in order to get information out to the Japanese people, but we are constantly blocked by the Taiji dolphin killers.

The fishermen don’t want the public to know about their dirty, little secret, so they spend a lot of time hiding their activities. They know that if Japan and the world learn the truth about this barbaric practice, world opinion will immediately put it to an end.

The fishermen in Taiji told us not to take any photographs. They said that if our photos and video footage get out to the rest of the world, it would pressure the authorities in Tokyo to deny them permits for the annual dolphin slaughter.

We need to continue to return to Taiji to document the dolphin massacres and give the photos and video footage away to the media, free of charge. We will continue to encourage journalists to return to Japan with us. Exposing these crimes against nature to the world is crucial.

We need your help to get the word out quickly.

So horrible. I wonder if any of the marine animals (dolphins, ocras, etc.) come from practices like this. I know they used to- not sure about anymore though.

I know a lot of the fishermen will trap mass amounts and kill them so they dont have to compete with the dolphins for fish.... so sad.

I saw that on Inside Edition or ET. Where Haylie Pantierre (cheerleader from Heroes) and friends were trying to save them. and the japans were making them leave and stopping them from trying to save the dolphins.
thats very sad. them poor dolphins. Im glad one celebrity took a stand to try and help.

That's so sad. Do you happen to live close to Taiji?

Do people openly talk about it in Japan or not really?

We just seen this on tv too...it was horrible...the cove was just red with dolphin blood! It was sickening! I know that they said dolphin meat is a prized meat over there, but they were killing so many and the way it was done...the fishmen were trying to stab out the people trying to stop them. What a mess! Sickening.....

I don't live near there, but, anything that is disgraceful is typically not talked about.

I saw that about Hayden Panetierre and how she tried to save them, it's really sad and breaks my heart! :( Why would ppl kill them???!
