En fredlig demonstration mot Japans delfinslakt kommer att ske under nästa vecka

Efter att ha sett filmen "The Cove", en prisbelönad dokumentär om jakten på delfiner, har nu en grupp kollegor på Karolinska Institutet tagit initiativet till att försöka uppmärksamma grymheterna mot dessa fantastiska djur genom en fredlig demonstration utanför den Japanska ambassaden i Stockholm.
Man har fått tillstånd av polisen och alla som vill visa sitt stöd är välkomna att delta.

A few weeks ago the movie The Cove (http://www.thecovemovie.com/) was played on SVT 2. This documentary described the slaughter of dolphins taking place every year in Taiji, Japan from the 1st of September.

This film touched my french friend and research collegue at the Karolinska Institute, Isabelle Magalhaes, so much, that she asked me to help her organize a manifestation against the dolphin slaughter.

SOME BACKGROUND
The capture and slaughter of dolphins takes place in the infamous cove in Taiji, Japan. Every year on or shortly after September 1st the Taiji dolphin hunters, and the dolphin trainers, will capture and kill about 2000 dolphins in the cove from September through April.

We can do something to end this massacre. We can let the Japanese government and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) know that these crimes against nature are unacceptable to the rest of the world. We can speak out against this atrocity loudly and clearly - and in a positive way!
