A closer inspection

Slaughter and Captive Sales Stats – 15 years

Every single ticket bought in support of the captive entertainment industry fuels the Taiji drive hunt and slaughter! Every marine park ticket. Every movie ticket showcasing captive cetaceans. Make the pledge: I WILL NEVER BY A TICKET!

 

Statistics are available since 2000 – only 15 years. Thirty years of Taiji drive hunt statistics are unavailable!

As an admittedly random bit of guesswork, multiple these totals by 3 for a very general estimate of the toll taken by the Taiji drive hunts since their beginning, around 1970!

Dolphins sold for captive entertainment: 4,386!

Dolphins slaughtered: 48,540!

 

Is this an ecologically sound action?

Is this an action that anyone would choose to support?

When will a healthy ecology trump greed for money?

When will man become human?

What will we each do to stop the Taiji dolphin drive hunt and slaughter?
