China Dolphin Killing

WallJungle.com Keeps dolphins close in their heart.

"Fishermen in Japan began slaughtering hundreds of bottlenose dolphins early on Tuesday morning, campaigners said, despite mounting international calls for the animals to be spared.
Members of the marine conservation group Sea Shepherd who are monitoring the annual cull in Taiji, on Japan’s Pacific coast, said local fishermen had started killing an estimated 250 dolphins just before 7.30am."

Its sad to watch but awareness must be raised.  Every year hundreds of dolphins are rounded up and Slaughtered.

"The rest are being slaughtered for their meat, a delicacy that most Japanese shun but which still forms part of the diet in Taiji and other whaling towns."

 

 With Dolphins on our minds we decided this weeks new designs would be dolphin orientated.
