Stop Dolphin Slaughter

Every year from October through March in small towns along the Japanese coast, fishermen kill about 20,000 marine mammals in the most brutal way imaginable. They use loud noises to disorient and herd whole pods of dolphins, porpoises and small whales into shallow bays, then stretch nets across the mouth of the bay to close off all exits. The next morning, the slaughter begins, as fishermen use sharp spears and hooks to massacre the helpless cetaceans. Most of them are butchered for meat that is sold in restaurants and supermarkets, while some are sold to marine parks where they spend years in loneliness and deprivation for the "entertainment" of audiences.This needs to be stoped or soon the loved dolphins will be gone. I think everyone should watch the cove it shows you exactly what they are doing. If you are some one who likes to eat dolphin meat You should watch the ones you eat because the dolphin meat that most people are selling could kill you it is highly toxic and full of Mercury. Even if you eat whale meat most people are labeling dolphin meat as whale meat. The reason they are doing this is they can not sell the dolphin meat. They are trying to hide it from everyone. If you watch the movie the cove the fishers get in their faces and try and make them do something so that they will go to jail. They have sighns that they put infront of the cameras so that they can not show people around the world what is going on in that cove.
Update: The cove has won the Academy award and now everyone is Japan. I just wanted to thank everyone who has signed and helped the dolphins have a voice and now things are starting to change. Slowly yes, but it is better then what it was.
