---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2010 20:01:20 From: Captain Paul Watson <captainwatson@seashepherd.org> To: sondheim@panix.com Subject: Sea Shepherd E-News - Taiji - What You Can Do Sea Shepherd Sea Shepherd E-Newsletter Defending Ocean Wildlife Worldwide Dear Alan, The fishermen of Taiji, Japan have started their annual, cruel practice of rounding up dolphins for slaughter or captivity. Read our field reports below to get the latest! What can you do to help? Please make a donation today so that we can maintain a presence there, which has been having a stifling effect on their activities. We need to keep the international spotlight focused on them and put an end to this. Taiji Dolphin Slaughter - What You Can Do Sadly, it's that time of year again when the small town of Taiji, Japan tries to hide its big secret from the world. September 1st marked the beginning of the Taiji dolphin hunt season in the notorious cove off Japan's southern coast. Thankfully, due to a large international outcry and an influx of "westerners" into Taiji, no dolphins have been killed this year in the ruthless slaughter. Unfortunately, a small number of dolphins are currently being held captive in the cove and some have already been sold to marine parks (where their lives will be cut short by 2/3)! Lone Dolphin Trapped in Taiji Read our recent field report from Taiji, and learn the background on this situation including what you can do to help stop the slaughter. Denmark Citizen Files Case Against Danish Ministry Sea Shepherd Supporter Files Claim Against Danish Minstry Sea Shepherd supporter Peter Manthos from Vejle, Denmark filed a police claim against the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs for failure to abide by the Berne Convention by allowing the Faeroese pilot whale slaughter to continue. The Faeroe Islands are a territory of Denmark, the Faeroese people are Danish citizens, and therefore the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Denmark is in violation of the Berne Convention, of which Denmark is a signatory. Read the specifics of the case. Ferocious Isles: New Photos Show Inhumane Bloodbath Kids playing on a dead pilot whale This disturbing image of children playing on a dead pilot whale is just one of many atrocities in the Faeroe Islands that is heart-wrenching. We now have photos that document pregnant female whales who had their young cut from their bellies and other dead pilot whales who had multiple wounds to the head, showing that their deaths were far from painless. Learn more, but be aware that these images are graphic.
