NEW SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF DOLPHIN KILLING METHODS IN DOLPHIN DRIVE HUNTS IN JAPAN REVEALS SHOCKING LEVELS OF CRUELTY
Newly-released, independent analysis of killing methods used by fishermen involved in the dolphin drive hunts in Taiji, Japan has revealed disturbing levels of physical trauma and extreme cruelty that fall below international levels of animal welfare. Dr. Diana Reiss, a Hunter College Professor and internationally known expert in dolphin behavior and cognition and her co-authors criticize this killing method and the general practice of killing of dolphins in a commercial industry in Japan in a paper that has recently been published in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science (JAAWS).
