The only way to stop the dolphin slaughter is to keep monitoring, advocating, filming, and bringing attention to it.

One of the main reasons that the killing continues is that very few people — in Japan and around the world — even know it is happening.

When the drive is over each day, the bodies of the dolphins are hauled away to the slaughterhouse for processing. Our team tries to photograph the butchering in order to get information out to the Japanese people, but we are constantly blocked by the Taiji dolphin killers.

The fishermen don't want the public to know about their dirty, little secret, so they spend a lot of time hiding their activities. They know that if Japan and the world learn the truth about this barbaric practice, world opinion will immediately put it to an end.

This campaign to end the Japanese drive fishery slaughter of dolphins in Taiji is being jointly conducted by these international organizations with long and successful histories of dolphin conservation.
