Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:52:03 -0500 Hardy Jones http://bluevoice.org Podcast Maker v1.4.0 - http://www.lemonzdream.com/podcastmaker For some twenty five years, members of the BlueVoice team have worked both to end the killing of dolphins and whales and to explore the universe of dolphins in the open sea. We oppose keeping dolphins in captivity as we would oppose capturing human beings for display in circus-like shows. Ample evidence now exists to show that dolphins are highly intelligent, social and sentient animals with brains and minds of equal magnitude to those of humans. Our films have brought this point of view to millions of viewers around the world. We have spent hundreds of days at sea with dolphins, killer whales and sperm whales. We have experienced dolphins protecting us from sharks, met newborn calves and swum eye-to-eye with these magnificent animals from the Bahamas to Norway's fjords to the Galapagos Islands. For all of us the work to protect dolphins and whales is very personal. We are dedicated to informing the world about the marvel of these animals and ending the threats to their lives. At a time in history when we are constructing the world's most sophisticated communications infrastructure on the internet we are dangerously neglecting the "infrastructure" which supports life on our planet. This is particularly true in the marine environment. Life in the oceans is in serious jeopardy and none of it is "backed up." If it is destroyed it will not be recoverable. en Blue Voice Hardy Jones contact@bluevoice.org http://bluevoice.org/Podcast/bv-icon_144.jpg http://bluevoice.org 144 144 Non-Profit Podcasting non-profit, podcast, activism, animal rights, dolphins, whales, mercury, sharks, environment, environmentalism no Hardy Jones http://bluevoice.org/Podcast/sharkcentral_episode1_podcast.m4v Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:51:28 -0500 Non-Profit no 00:06:24 non-profit, podcast, activism, animal rights, dolphins, whales, mercury, sharks, environment, environmentalism Hardy Jones Dr. Tetsuya Endo of Hokkaido University describes the dangers of eating dolphin meat due to high mercury content.

Dolphins play in the standing waves created when the current rushing out of the lagoon meet the waves coming in from the sea. The dolphins use the waves to sling themselves into huge leaps. http://bluevoice.org http://bluevoice.org/Podcast/bluevoice_podcast_006_Rangiroa%20Dolphins%20Sharks_podcast.m4v Fri, 19 Jan 2007 10:16:10 -0500 Non-Profit no 00:05:35 non-profit, podcast, activism, animal rights, dolphins, whales, mercury, sharks, environment, environmentalism Hardy Jones BlueVoice goes to Taiji, Japan to stop the killing of dolphins.

Imagine what they are experiencing and communicating. Filmed by BlueVoice (BlueVoice.org) This video was shot among a school of friendly spotted dolphins in the Bahamas. Hardy Jones has been working with these dolphins since 1978 and knows many of them personally - some for as long as 25 years. This long term relationship between humans and dolphins shows that interaction between two large brained species is possible. We have also been able to witness the dolphins' high intelligence, sociability and friendliness toward us. We have used computers to interact with them. Details at http://bluevoice.org/sections/dolphins/communication.shtml. This is a video to stimulate your imagination. What is it like to be a dolphin. Let the sounds enter your mind without judgment. See where it takes you. "My experience with the dolphins in the wild is the strongest possible argument against taking them into captivity" Hardy Jones http://bluevoice.org http://bluevoice.org/Podcast/bluevoice_podcast_003_Among%20Dolphins_podcast.m4v Fri, 29 Sep 2006 10:14:05 -0400 Non-Profit no 00:04:07 non-profit, podcast, activism, animal rights, dolphins, whales, mercury, sharks, environment, environmentalism Hardy Jones A Manta rescued from fishing line invites a scuba diver to a fantastic ride around an undersea mountain in the Sea of Cortez.

Former dolphin hunter leads dolphin watch and encounters friendly sperm whale. Izumi Ishii was once head of the dolphin hunters in Futo, Japan but one day he heard the cry of a dying dolphin and it changed him. So he began a dolphin watching business. BlueVoice.org supported his work and Hardy Jones was aboard for the first expedition. Ishii's vessel sailed for four hours with no luck and he was in danger of bringing back the tourists and the press with a failure. But then a huge sperm whale appeared - and it turned out to be friendly, lingering around the boat for 45 minutes. Ishii's transformation from dolphin hunter to dolphin tour operator makes him more money than his pervious business and has taken thousands of Japanese to see whales and dolphins. It shows that dolphin watching can replace dolphin killing. For more information go to http://www.bluevoice.org.
