The Slaughter and Massacre of Dolphins: the Brutality of Dolphin Drives

For many years, consumers were at an uproar over the fact that they became aware that many dolphins were needlessly killed as they would become entangled in the nets used to trap tuna for the tuna marketing trade. For many years now almost all major tuna producing companies, such as Bumble Bee and Chicken of the Sea have placed as part of their label, "Dolphin Safe" supposedly meaning that no dolphins were trapped or needlessly killed by the tuna fishing trade. We thought we could rest easy, our minds and conscious clear. This is far from the truth.

Yes, it's true that maybe dolphins aren't killed in the process of tuna fishing procedures, but tens of thousands of dolphins are killed, no, let me clarify that, outrightly massacred yearly and mainly by Japanese and Norwegian fishermen however, other countries are just as guilty.

Not long ago, I wrote about the unscrupulous practices of the puppy/kitten mill industry, as I wanted to inform people about the truth about what exactly goes "behind closed doors" of this so-called business, and yes, as horrendous as the business is of the puppy/kitten mill industry, nothing compares to the needless slaughter of thousands upon thousands of dolphins every year.

I like to think of myself as being well informed and know what cruelties are going on in the world when it comes to animals in general. For many years people have rallied against the killing of whales in and as far as I know, this has stopped to a certain extent. But like many people, I was not even aware that such a massacre of such intelligent creatures such as the dolphin was taking place on a yearly basis, that is not until I happen to come across a very graphic video that is posted on the http://nifie.multiply.com/video/item/70/Dolphins_Massacre_c website. I couldn't even bring myself to watch the whole video as it was too disturbing for me to view.
