WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
For years, Dolphin Project has been the only independent body to act as an observer to monitor the hunts in Taiji. While we are not permitted to intervene, our role in documenting the hunts, tracking captures and slaughters, and broadcasting to the world serves to ensure that the hunts remain in compliance with local regulations– and that each and every life is counted, and remembered.
Our continued activism has kept the pressure on the hunters and the Japanese government to end the hunts, and with each new viewer, we are shifting the tide in how the public thinks about captivity. Through Dolphin Project’s relentless commitment to exposing the cruelty of the Taiji hunts, we hope to protect future generations of wild dolphins from slaughter and a lifetime of exploitation.
