Introduction
November 7 ,
2007 - Seven Dolphins held - to be killed
tomorrow
By Hardy Jones
This is Hardy Jones reporting from Taiji Japan.
After 8 days of not hunting dolphins, the fishermen have
brought into Hatajiri Bay 7 dolphins which appear to me to
be Risso’s Dolphins. I don’t know exactly
what is shaping up. Traditionally there are 2 sets
of nets across the bay and this one seems to have been thrown
together very quickly. But they have got the 7 Risso’s
dolphins here, which if previous experience is a guide, they
will kill tomorrow morning.
Now is the time for you to fax or telelphone Japanese embassies
and consulates near you. Faxes are great because they
can’t forward you to voice mail. Emailing is not so
effective because they can set up spam blockers. But
please make your voice heard. Let them know that these
atrocities must not proceed.
Your protest will be very effective, particularly right
now when there is a tremendous amount of world attention
focused on Taiji. Contact your Japanese embassy or consulate
and protest vigorously.
There is also something going on down at the Whale Museum/Aquarium
where there is a transport truck that has pulled up in front.
I will report again soon as events warrant.
