Protesters aim for world's biggest animal rights demonstration against dolphin slaughter. Campaigners claim that up to 20,000 dolphins, whales and porpoises are killed each year in an annual tradition at the Taji Cove.
The hunts are conducted between March and September and this year the Japanese government allegedly authorised 16,000 sea creatures to be killed. Demonstrators will be gathering on November 7 outside the Japanese embassy in London to protest the "atrocious" tradition. The organisers said: "Some 20 000 dolphins, porpoises and small whales are slaughtered each year which occurs in Japan every year between September and March. "The Japanese government maintain that Taiji is part of a cultural tradition, and yet the evidence is clear that this is a commercially driven endeavour, with the animals ending up in captivity, on the food market, or simply left injured in the oceans to die. "This tradition has been going for as little as forty years. Protesters want dolphins to be afforded the same protection that whales receive across the globe.
