New Zealand, will you help protect Taiji dolphins from tourism’s greed?

New Zealand, will you help protect Taiji dolphins from tourism’s greed?

Please be the voice of dolphins who are violently captured and sold into a lifetime of captivity for profit.

Every year from September to March, hundreds of wild dolphins who pass through the waters of Taiji in Japan to migrate with their family pods are violently hunted down and captured.

While some are slaughtered for their meat, many of these sentient beings are sold to dolphin entertainment venues across the globe.

Shockingly, six major global travel companies including Trip.com, Groupon, Traveloka, GetYourGuide, TUI, and Klook are currently promoting and selling tickets to venues linked to the Taiji dolphin hunt.

Every ticket to a venue that buys dolphins from these gruesome hunts fuels the inherently cruel capture, trade and lifelong suffering of these highly intelligent and sensitive beings.

You can help by urgently calling on these travel companies to immediately stop promoting and selling captive dolphin entertainment and take a stand for dolphins.

New Zealand, will you help protect Taiji dolphins from tourism’s greed?
