World Love for Dolphins Day Protest

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is calling on volunteers, supporters and concerned individuals around the world to join with  Sea Shepherd Cove Guardians as they show their love for dolphins and call for an end to the captive dolphin trade that funds the slaughter of cetaceans in Taiji’s infamous cove.

On Saturday, February 13, Sea Shepherd will teach the world about the link between captivity and the cove and encourage local businesses to stop supporting the hunt with peaceful World Love for Dolphins Day demonstrations across North America and overseas. Sea Shepherd chapters will host demos at local businesses that profit directly from the dolphin slaughter by trading on their surviving family members and stand in solidarity with Sea Shepherd’s volunteer Cove Guardians currently on the ground in Taiji. On Valentine’s weekend, animal lovers across the globe will show the world that there is nothing to love about captivity.

Sea Shepherd Austin will hold a demonstration at Sea World San Antonio. Though SeaWorld has stated that it does not house cetaceans from drive fisheries, it does play a large part in fueling the demand for captive dolphins and whales – the same demand that keeps the hunters in business.
