Privacy

Hey guys it` s Maven and I just wanted to talk about how much effort the fisherman put into keeping the slaughtering a secret. They go through alot with tarps and gaurds so that noone sees the blood and disgust that the fisherman cause. But let me ask you this , if the fisherman feel like they have to cover up what they do than why do they do it ?


                                           

                                                                     

Getting Obama involved!

Hey guys Lauren here! I just had an idea that maybe all of us could write a letter to the President asking him for help, and we can all send the letters in on a specific date so he knows we are all with DPP. Please post you comment right here telling me what you think, or any further ideas.
 - Thanks for tuning in, Lauren

Sharks!

Hey Lauren here, I just found one more great reason that the dolphins population shouldn't go down. I was watching a (non graphic) video of how a dolphin saved a divers life from a shark. And I don't get why their killing dolphins because the dolphins want the fish to, well sharks are an even bigger threat and I don't see the fishermen killing any sharks!!!!!!

Quote

Hey guys !!!!!!!! Maven here and earlier I was doing some research and I foun this paragraph and thought I would link it below!!!!!!!!!!

                                                   ," Hundreds of dolphins are killed in these coves between September and March. Fisherman slay the dolphins by driving a pin into their necks, by slashing their throats with knives or by spearing them with harpoons from their boats. In addition members of the international dolphin display industry attend these dolphin slaughters to purchase show - quality dolphins for use in captive dolphin shows and dolphin swimming programs; the dolphins not selected are slaughtered. This is the largest scale dolphin slaughter in the world and unfortunately very few even know it takes place. Even In Japan not many people are aware of this atrocity occurring.''


                                                      You guys should really check out http://indietravelpodcast.com/japan/tradition-travesty-dolphin-killings-japan/ where I got all this information. LOve you lots !!!!!!!!!!!

Adopt a dolphin now!

    Hey Lauren here, Were sorry we don't have anything set up for donations for the dolphins, but I do have one strategy for you. Go to Dolphin Tale's home page ( Click HERE!) and they have a program set up were you can adopt a sea animal or a dolphin. You only pay $25 a month, but you get a certificate, a monthly update, and some other stuff to. But I thought it is just a great opportunity for you to donate to these dolphins since Dolphin Tale was what inspired me and Maven to start DPP! So don't feel like you have to donate, I just thought what a great opportunity. OH YA and a big shout out for any of you who have started to leave comments!!!
                    Thanks for reading,
                                      Lauren!:)

Sea World!!!

It's Lauren ,and I'm sorry I'm not doing a fun introduction because I'm still in shock! I just watched a video on you-tube that was talking about how Sea World is reasponsible for every thing that is going on with the dolphins in Taigii. Sea World is actually buying from the fishermen but not hurting them. And I really was just most disapointed and upset because I felt like if a marine wild life asosiciation as big as Sea World doesn't have the dolphins back, who does? And that was the worst part for me. 

The Cove

It's Lauren again. I just checked out a trailer for a movie called (The Cove).  I can't be the one to tell you if it's ok to watch, because right now I have only seen the trailer. So if you are a kid I would get it checked by your parents, and watch the trailer. The Cove is all about these men who are trying to save the dolphins in Taigii and get film and proof of the whole situation.

Prices

Hey Lauren here! I thought you should know some of the prices these fishermen get payed for these dolphins. A dolphins head can be worth 40-50,000$. And a single dolphin can be sold for 150,000$,
                       And it is actually legal to slaughter the whales and dolphins in Taigii.

Pest control

Hey Lauren here.
                            Part of the reason that the fishermen are trying to get rid of the dolphins is because of (pest control) also known as getting rid of their compitition. Now if your confused then let me explain, the dolphins, whales, and fishermen all want the fish in the ocean. And the fishermen deal with their problems by umm........... well you know the rest.

Sundays

Lauren again, This is just my personal opinion but I can't belive that the fishermen have the nerve to slaughter the dolphins on a Sunday. That should be GOD'S day. And I just don't think it's right that they could do such a horrible thing on a day that should be holy.

Taigii

Hey guys it's Lauren again! I just wanted to say that today I found out that most of the Taigii citizens don't know about the slaughtering of the dolphins!!! And the Taigii fishermen know the world will be outraged about the killing so they just hide behind their government and stupid phrases! 
                                        
                    So if the fishermen  are so scared of what they do, then why do they say things that don't match up with what they do.

Filmers

Lauren again. I just laugh at how aggressive the fishermen are with filmers and picture takers trying to capture the scene. And people will go to jail if they try to physically  save a whale or dolphin.

the KILLING COVE

Hey guys!!! its Maven and I want to talk about the killing cove. The killing cove is usually tucked away behind hills so that no one could see them doing there disgusting habit. The fisherman heard huge pods of dolphins into the killing cove then drop nets. The dolphins can`t escape !!!  :( Another reason the killing cove is so far away is because the blood from the dolphins stains the water bright red. The dolphins air holes are then forced under water when they are tied up to moving boats by their tales. Then to travel by land , the dolphins (some still alive) are tied by their tales to the ends of trucks and sent to the factory to be butchered. The very few dolphins still alive sometimes drown in their own blood.

If we don`t put a stop to this soon, I may  buy a ticket to Japan and and talk some since into those mean Japanese!!!!!!!!!!!    ;)

Hayden

Lauren Here!!! Now if you really want to get active reasearch Hayden Panettiere, the celeb who was out there with the dolphins! So get up reasearch Hayden and post your comment right here and I will try to get back to you!
