Thousands of dolphins are caught every year in Taiji, Japan. Most strong and healthy were taken to aquariums and marine parks around the world and the rest are simply slaughtered for their meat.

Dolphin activists around the world converge on the city, including Michael Dalton of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Sea Shepherd rescued fifteenDolphins> in 2003, having cut the nets and release back to the open ocean.
"If a hundred people could be present throughout the ordeal faced by these dolphins, killing can be greatly reduced if not completely stopped," said Dalton.
Although the Japanese Coast Guard has stepped up their response, threatening to arrest anyone who interferes with the fishermen, the massacre has yet to begin.
"Our plans will depend on the actions of the fishermen. Ifthey plan to start killing dolphins, then we need action, "said Dalton.
The increasing pressure to stop the slaughter in Taiji, and will continue to have a negative impact on the local economy for the annual killing has stopped.
"The key to saving the dolphins for people to be constantly in Taiji, so slaughter is not allowed to go out of sight of cameras and witnesses," said Paul Watson, captain of the Sea Shepherd ship, and is known for whaleWars, a reality television series on Animal Planet.
