ABOUT the HUNT:
The dolphin hutting happens from February to April. Small countries such as Japan and Taiji hunt not only dolphins but small whales too! This is a custom and a life style fot them but now the future has come and awareness in coming across the world. More then twenty thousand dolphins are killed each year in Japan. I cheeked up on other records about the other countires that kill dolphins and there in the 20,000 or more! There are so many toxins in dolphins that its really bad for people to eat!

Man catches new born shark with placenta still attached, no attack from mum!
Hello ~ thank you for being a friend of Moonwarriors. 800 dogs & cats are killed every hour in the US, often by inhumane methods such as gassing or heart sticking. This cruel disposal of homeless & stray animals is paid for by your taxes. Sponsors of petitions promoting no-kill alternatives have shown that it would be more cost effective & humane to fund spay-neuter programs, adoption schemes & sanctuaries.
"What is unconscionable, abominable and outrageous is that animals, healthy and well-behaved, are being killed because someone says there are too many. That is something we do not accept. That is something we find intolerable" - Richard Avanzino, President, San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (1997)
