This video produced by bluevoice.org explains the awful truth about dolphins in captivity and the cruel and horrific methods used to get them from the wild and vastness of the ocean to a concrete tank for show. Japan annually hunts (slaughters) dolphins in what's known as a drive hunt or a drive fishery. Japanese fisherman drive the dolphins close to shore by banging and creating noise on the side of their boats that interfere with the dolphins complex sonar communication system and confuse them. They then round them into shallow bays and then proceed to (not always, depending on the location) inflect incredible pain and ultimate death on the highly social highly intelligent marine mammals by stabbing them with spears and other similar objects. Most will end up in sushi bars or on supermarket shelves. But some lucky or unlucky ones will have their lives spared to be destined for a life in captivity. To live in an alien world from their own in a concrete tank forced to do common tricks for a public that is purposefully mislead by the facts. Violently capturing wild dolphins from their home and killing them for meat and to be housed in captivity is one of the most immoral, wrongful, cruel, horrific and shameful acts human beings can display towards animals. What god given right do we have to do such a thing? none!!! that's what. It's absolutley disgisting and a complete crime to encase them in a tank so small their up and down one end in two and half seconds. Dolphins are built for speed and were designed to jump and swim miles a day. Please take the time to educate yourself about captive animals and do not patronize the bad institutions who exploit them without any hesitation remorse or guilt. Do not provide the financial incentive for this disgusting act to continue, the dolphins are counting on you. Please support Blue Voice's vital work and other conservation groups such as the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society who are actively involved in stopping this horrific and completely unnecessary act of cruelty towards dolphins.

May 7, 2007 - Lets be frank here. No one REALLY cares about Dolphins. They are just big fish and the sole purpose of fish is to feed man kind. I may be called old fashioned but i think we all should just wake up and be concerned about something just a little more important than a fish!!

Aug 8, 2007 - Indo-pacific Humpback Dolphins, or Chinese White Dolphins have all disappeared. Humans have eaten them to extinction. Fox New just reported today, 08/8/07. Its all over the world news now. I am very sad today. I really hate myself for being a human.

Nov 6, 2007 - Cows are mammals too but we don't mind eating them even though they are slaughtered alive. Dolphin eat other animals as well. Dolphin meat ends up mixed in your can of tuna so beware! Go vegetarian and save all animals!
XxGaarasGirlxX Says:
Nov 7, 2007 - Yeah but cows are widespred stupid domestic (but cute) animals! There not at the brink of extinction, if they were we WOULD save them, not because they tase good but we shouldent let a species die out because of the human race, i mean once a species is extinct they cant come back! And dont do that go save all animals go vegitarian crap, its anyones decision to go veggi or not!!
