Dolphin Massacre In Japan

Every winter, thousands of dolphins are confined and brutally killed in small towns across Japan. Animal advocates and environmentalists considers this barbaric and condemns the slaughter. Fishermen often injure a few captives by spear thrust or knife slash to retain the group since dolphins never abandon injured family members. The water turns red and the air is filled with their agonising screams. They are then dragged to the slaughter place and their throats slashed and left to die. Dolphin meat are later marketed and often disguised as whale meat. 1 videoclip of dolphin massacre after the jump.
Very Graphic. Don’t watch this if you have a weak heart for blood.

!@¤%&
What the hell, how can they do that to the dolphins! They are one of the smartest animal on the planet and yet they slaughter them. Theres no words for my anger…

shut up they are making out as if they do it for fun. im sick of people seeing dolphins on the t.v and saying “awww how cute” so they make it there lifes mission to protect them you dont hear them complaining about ugly animals that get slaughtered. those people in the video probably need the money they earn from it to feed their familys.

it’s not the killing part, it’s they WAY they do it. Unless you’re vegan, we are omnivores so we will probably always have to kill animals for consumption, but this is not the way to do it.

It is sad to see this kind of images and know that Japan is trying to get permission to kill few whales per year for research purposes. Nice for them to ask permission for one animal while brutally killing others that share the same habitat. Smaller the animal -> less interest from the public but perhaps dolphins will be the ones that trigger a larger response that will affect the way we treat other animals too.

I lol’d.
Oh, so dramatic.
January 11th, 2007 at 5:21 pm
how can they do such a brutal deed to the dolphins.Not only me ,most people in the world seems to love them.they are so nice and friendly beings & doesnot do any harm to humans.i have heard that the dolphins use to save humans,who are in trouble in the sea.
Is there any beliefs or any thing in Japan, behind this slaughtering.Please take intiative to
totally ban this..

I agreed ,only with a selection of animals people complain about cruelty. There are many other species of animals, insects and plants that are suffering without getting any attention.
Also some of videos that you see might be old ones. I am not saying that the world is perfect but some things are changing.
The only thing I wonder is where is all this money to save and help animals is really going to??? I havent noticed any major change when considering all the donations given by the worlds populations annually to help animals in need. I think its a good marketing strategy.
Still animal cruelty should not be accepted
February 12th, 2007 at 11:05 pm
what a bunch of dooches, that is not the way to kill them, i understand that they need to feed their familys but cmon!!! slitting them and leaving them to die!
makes me sad for my children…….

r u fuckin kidding me, this is total bullshit. the fuckin japanesse need to be stopped. i cant believe what i just saw. i aint one to go out and help animals i would much rather save human lives first, but this is just unexceptable. i hope the UN or someone will help stop this senseless slaughter

Always it’s the Japanese, WTF?
They rip the gall bladder’s from bears, horns from rhino’s for crap like aphrodisiacs or “help you get it up” medicine. Shark fin, blah, blah, blah (Well, not medicine because it’s scientifically proven to be bullshit). They still hunt whales illegally, wait….sorry, they call it “scientific research”. No country in the world is so cruel towards animals…….perhaps humans too! Look up the rape of nanking or talk to a P.O.W. in Japan. Let’s hope next time a dolphin is about to rescue a human from drowning, it checks to make sure it isn’t a Jap.
March 15th, 2007 at 8:30 am
come on japan how many massacres do you need, i mean honestly was the massacre of the chinese in manking durring world war 2 not enough, or did f**king with all those P.O.W.s in ww2 not enough, how about those whales for “research” honestly do you need all thse dolphins.
and for christs sake just kill it dont let it flop around for a bloody half hour
March 24th, 2007 at 4:21 am
this is totaly sick japan pppl are sik losers no offence how could you
April 8th, 2007 at 4:52 am
Yahh Japan needs to def. be stopped before they kill all the dolphins and they become extinct.
The japanese government is stupid for this. Now you can tell that they dont have any respect for the worlds animals.
April 26th, 2007 at 2:40 am
come now, it’s not the whole population of japan that is doing this. i don’t agree with what they’re doing though, don’t get me wrong. it’s horrible…dolphins are my favorite animals, and i think that this group can be stopped with just a little more publicity.
April 27th, 2007 at 9:23 pm
oh my..that is pure evil..the people who did this should be killed the same way!!
May 6th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
The people who do this are poor excuses for human beings. I agree, with more publicity, this can be stopped. And i care a lot about this issue, as well as others, i try to shed light on a lot of issues involving life as a whole. Human, animal, and plant. Cutting down of forests upsets me just as much, pet brutality the same, it is horrific to see such brutality. They may feed their children off the money they make off of these killings, but they don’t deserve to be paid for this action, needless, they don’t deserve anything less than punishment for it. In the U.S. people go to jail for hurting animals, they do time, pay fines, and they don’t get the animals back, in Japan, they allow this to be happening, and what kills me is that they do it right next to a school yard. Those poor children are witnessing evil up close and personal, and they don’t know how wrong it is. SICKNESS, ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!

OMG!!!!… it’s horrible!!…grr… so cruel…

STOP KILLING all the poor dolphin! It’s horrible!

Stop flaming the Japanese and keep in mind our beef slaughtering plants.
July 31st, 2007 at 5:38 pm
Just one more example of the greed and brutality of the world today, we are soooooo civilized today, aren’t we.
September 30th, 2007 at 12:57 pm
I damn those fishermen with the curse of impotence and very, VERY painful kidney stones!!! Obviously, they have no conscience and especially, no souls.
Oh! They should also die of a terribly painful cancer.

Ross and bugalug, you guys are so dumb about this topic AND Japan. “The truth is, Japan is a wealthy country and they don’t need to eat dolphin meat. The real reason for this slaughter is they are over-fishing and want to kill the competition for the fish. It is pest control.” - Japanfocus.org interview
October 6th, 2007 at 2:05 pm
You guys are idiots. Japanese people do not eat dolphins. This is simply a HOAX. Gtfo your house and learn about other countries rather than watching fake videos on the internet.
October 7th, 2007 at 4:54 am
What about all the environmentalists/animal rights groups who confirmed it? Those dolphins ARE getting killed. And how can you prove it’s a hoax? I smell a Japanese prime minister in disguise.
October 7th, 2007 at 4:55 am
RIIIGHT.

[…] After 10 minutes or so, the surfers were forced to return to the beach since they can’t do anything about it. More on the annual dolphin massacre can be found here. […]
November 14th, 2007 at 2:42 am
this is the grossest thing that i have ever seen. everyone in japan are a bunch of panzes.
November 20th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
this is bullshit that they are killing the dolphins and whales. they should be stopped. it is not their lives to do this. they have other food, they dont need dolphins and whales. and the more you kill of this animals the less there will be. and once they are all gone then what are they going to do about it. they dont give a shit that they are killing off animals that were put here on earth for a reason. so that should say something like, we shouldn’t be killing them. what did dolphins and whales ever do to anyone. how would you like it if you were put in nets and killed. STOP KILLING THE DOLPINS AND WHALES!!!!
November 22nd, 2007 at 6:59 pm

Some countries worship what we slaughter in a cruel way here in the U.S. I love dolphins too but we can’t impose our morals or beliefs onto other countries..oh wait yes we do….

January 13th, 2008 at 4:25 am
I hate that this is still happening to any type of animal. But what makes it worse is the animals in question here are very intelligent. I was appalled to learn of this by reading about it in Mens Journal. It is cruel and there is no excuse. But I don’t think using racial slurs or “four-letter” words will help this cause be taken seriously. Please think before you speak, or in this case, type. Also, back up your anger with serious action. Write to you congressmen, governors, senators, the president, Japan’s government officials. Tell everyone you know about these atrocities! Stand up and take action. Don’t just blog about it!
February 14th, 2008 at 12:44 am
I saw one moron post that the people doing the slaughtering are doing it for the money they need to feed their families. I say let those people die. Normal people have morals just like a poor person with morals wouldnt prostitute themselves a poor person sink beneath his dignity and if thats the way the gooks do it, then they have no human morals. Is it any surprise, look at the inhumane ways they treated our POW’s in WWII and the crazy sucidal tactics they used in trying to win battles. It took a nuke to humble them. These people arent human and guess what all people are racist
February 14th, 2008 at 12:50 am
For those that compare this to our beef and poultry industry keep in mind that cows are shot with a bolt through their head giving them an instant death. Chickens have their throats slit to die instantaneously. Other then that these are not intelligent animals or predators. Normal human psychology makes us refrain from eating predators or intelligent animals. It seems that only gooks are outside of this thinking
February 14th, 2008 at 12:56 am
One last note I understand why these gooks have these beliefs that eating exotic animals will improve their health and vitality. Even if that was the case, how would that help their ugly features. These people look ugly and awkward because that a reflection of who they are which are bastards without a heart, soul, or consience.
April 15th, 2008 at 3:40 am
You japan people are sick how would you like it if i killed you dolphins have feelings just like you .Dolphins are my favorite animal and i don’t want them dead i want you Japaneses killers DEAD I SOOOOOO WANT YOU NASTY PEOPLE DEAD .All the people that are leaving comments on this page and all over the net are people that want to help save the dolphins when my kids saw this they broke down in tears and so did i and i bet other people did to.So please STOP! killing these harmless animals and one day when you Japaneses killers die every one will be happy and what a better world it would be.
PS
On the video when you people were killing the dolphins and when the school children were walking past how do you people think they felt if i was one off them people i would grab a knife and kill you sick PEOPLE NO JOKE
May 8th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
this is a big problem, and for all out there who think all japaneses are killers thats not true this massacre is only taking place in some parts of japan (not like i’v ben there in the last 2 years to know if thats true still). This massacre is a big problem but there is still some debit on the size of this problem, (i’m only 8, my spelling may suck) but my feelings are stabiler then some others feelings on this mater, i can not write my feelings thou.
