Dolphin export from Taiji, Japan, to the Dominican Republic is cancelled
SAN FRANCISCO, California November 13, 2007: The Dominican Republic, in keeping with its strong cetacean conservation policies, has decided not to import twelve dolphins from the recent round-up of dolphins in Taiji, Japan. The dolphins, cornered in a cove after being driven to shore from open water, are both slaughtered for their meat and destined for export to dolphinariums. SaveJapanDolphins.org
