End "a brutal hunt where hundreds of dolphins are trapped in a bay, and butchered" Petition

Environment

"Over 1,400 dolphins were driven onto the beach and slaughtered one by one. Terrified dolphins thrashed around as pregnant mothers and calves were also killed. Many suffocated on the sand. Days later another 53 pilot whales were killed.

Dolphins are one of the earth’s most intelligent species. They have memories and call each other by name. They understand joy… and grief. Imagine the terror they faced in that bloody cove.

These brutal hunts must end.

Over half the islands’ citizens want dolphin hunts to stop, and after huge public outrage, the Prime Minister pledged to review the hunt’s regulations – but now there’s real danger of a weak, phony review. We can’t let that happen. With a million voices, we’d force this back on to the agenda, and put massive new pressure on the Prime Minister. Sign before the next hunt happens."

I would happily sign the petition, but as it’s Avaaz, I’ll decline, thank you!

No doubt the global warmingering press will, in due course, include this butchering within the “devastation of species due to man-made global warming” , with the dolphin executions referenced in a rarely read footnote - as the BBC did with avian flu and chickens culled (

at the top:
" The largest ever outbreak of bird flu is spilling over into mammals, including otters and foxes in the UK.

Figures released to the BBC show the virus has led to the death of about 208 million birds around the world and at least 200 recorded cases in mammals."

Near the bottom of the article:
“Almost 15 million domestic birds, including poultry, have died from the disease, and more than 193 million more have been culled.” )
