Over the past three days, there has been a tangible sense of despair lingering around the town of Taiji. Over the past three days, a family of over 100 Pilot Whales was completely torn apart.
On Tuesday morning, these animals were chased down, traumatised and herded together- their captors taking complete advantage of what mankind has come to learn about cetaceans; their use of sound for sight- or, echolocation.
Today a lone pilot whales was found floating in The Cove dead. He had struggled so to stay up with the others pilot whales as they were forced back out to sea but the trauma was too much. Taiji is a town that will always be known for their horrific treatment of dolphins. They have made their own new history.
On the central coast of California, we are facing the reality of PG&E doing seismic testing in our pristine waters.
I posted your article on my Facebook Timeline with these comments:
:”If we allow seismic testing by PG&E, are we really any better, anymore humane than Taiji?
NO SEISMIC TESTING! Marine life should not have to give their lives for a worthless. unnecessary ruse that so far many people are still buying into and do not yet understand the ramifications!
Wake up! Get your heads out of the sand! Do the homework! Read what those that care are researching, finding out and posting . . .
If this story does not bring a tear, you have no heart ~”
