Up to 1,000 furious protesters demanded an end to the dolphin ‘slaughter’
The majority of the creatures – including several thousand at the notorious Taiji Cove – are killed for meat but some are captured for zoos and aquariums.
Hunts are conducted between September and March. This year the Japanese government authorised 16,000 deaths.
The crowd, many with their hands covered in fake dolphin blood, chanted “Taiji: Set them free” and “Stop the dolphin slaughter” at the building, which was surrounded by police.
Lead activist Richard O’Barry who starred in the award winning documentary The Cove said: “It was the largest demonstration we’ve seen.
“We wanted to get the attention of the government in Tokyo and let them know that this is not acceptable. They are not their dolphins to kill.
“This is all about putting external pressure on Japan.”
Exposing the Big Game 
Hardly deafening, and it won’t make an ounce of difference sadly.
I am following the international activist groups. The protest above is only the beginning of what is coming down the pike very soon.
Yay!
