Taiji, Japan (Newswise): As the annual dolphin drive hunts begin in the Japanese villages of Taiji and Futo, a consortium of scientists and zoo and aquarium professionals has launched a campaign to end the practices through public awareness and by appealing to the government of Japan to put an end to the hunts. The “Act for Dolphins” campaign—which includes members from The New York Aquarium, Emory University, and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) —maintains that the hunts, which result in the deaths of thousands of dolphins every year, are inhumane by any ethical standard and should be discontinued immediately.
