Dear friends of MFN,
I chanced upon a documentary while trying to find links to Hooked(NGC) and after watching it, really had an effect on me. I feel sad and angry! I know we all love our fishing and love our fish, and it really breaks my heart watching and knowing that this activities is going on.
The annual dolphin drive in Japan that start every September and last for 6 months, estimated around 23,000 dolphins are killed each year in Japan. A few of the dolphins end up being sold to aquariums and seaworld amusement parks and the rest are killed for their toxic meat(mercury). The dolphin meat are often passed as whale meat and there are no labels on the dangers of mercury poisoning on the packagings.(info from the docu and web)
I strongly urge members of this community to share this documentary with anyone they can to raise awareness that things like this is going on in this world today. I have signed the petition and posted the links on every forum/site that I frequent.
I have no problem with killing animals for food but certainly not in the inhumane ways they are killed, especially when the meat is toxic to humans!
Below is the links for all of you to watch and read.
