What happens to taiji japan dolphins?
There are a couple of things that happens to dolphins who are unlucky enough to be captured off the coast of Taiji, Japan. A group of fishermen round them up by chasing them with boats and a wall of sound to confuse and disorient the dolphins. They are then sealed into the Cove with nets. Dolphin trainers chose the animals they want for their dolphinariums and amusment parks. Those dolphins are doomed to a life in captivity, ripped away from their families. The other dolphins are slaughtered in extremely barbaric ways, often left to suffer for many minutes before they finally bleed to death. There are many videos of these cruel methods on the internet. The meat is then processed and sold, often disguised as other meats. The dolphins have a very high concentration of mercury in them, and that is making people sick.

Why dolphins should not be held in captivity?
1) Dolphins are VERY smart, VERY social and have VERY specialized needs. They belong in the wild with their families where they can swim many miles a day and hunt for their prey. 2) They communicate through echolocation (emitting calls out to the environment and gathering information about their environment from the echos). In captivity, their echolocation just bounces off the walls of their concrete tanks. 3) Some captive dolphin facilities purchase dolphins from cruel dolphin hunts that take place in certain parts of the world, effectively funding the hunts and keeping them going. In Taiji, Japan, dolphins are driven into a shallow cove, many are slaughtered and some are selected for dolphin display facilities.
