End The Senseless Slaughter In Taiji

TAKE ACTION

Learn more about our Taiji campaign

The dolphin drive hunts that take place each year in Taiji, Japan, have garnered international attention as the world has learned about the mass slaughter of dolphins and the ruthless captive selection process. These brutal hunts are documented by our team of Cove Monitors each season, and shared with the international public so that attention may be drawn to this outdated and unnecessarily cruel practice.

1. TAKE THE PLEDGE NOT TO BUY A TICKET TO A CAPTIVE DOLPHIN SHOW

Share your pledge on social media and encourage others to join you!

 

2. SIGN THE PETITION TO JAPAN’S GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO END THE HUNTS
