DESCRIPTION:

International Day of Awareness for the Dolphins of Taiji began in 2004 with the Save Japan Dolphins campaign. Since 2004, the number of people eating dolphin meat has dropped dramatically.

In 2004, 1,600 dolphins were killed on average in Taiji each year. During the 2014-15 season, fewer than 750 were killed.

The Academy Award-winning documentary "The Cove" depicts Earth Island Institute's campaign in Taiji to stop the dolphin hunts. Recently, after ten years of pressure, the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums agreed to suspend the membership of any Japanese aquarium sourcing dolphins from Taiji.

In response, Japanese zoos and aquariums voted overwhelmingly to stop buying live dolphins from Taiji.

The Taiji dolphin slaughter continues today, with the Japanese government claiming killing dolphins is part of Japan's culture. In reality, this cultural tradition began in 1969.
