The aquarium industry, seeking live animals for display to the public, is helping to fund brutal dolphin hunts in Japan, known as ‘drive hunts’.

In a drive hunt, dolphins and small whales are rounded up out at sea by boats, driven to shore using loud, underwater noises and trapped in a bay, or harbour. They are then killed in the shallows, or hauled from the water for transportation to the slaughterhouse to be processed into meat and other products.

The aquarium industry then selects the young, attractive animals and pays high prices for them.

We plan to stop this brutality – YOU can help us stop these hunts.
