An Urgent Alert for Dolphins

By Richard O’Barry

Dear Friends of Dolphins:

I’m in London now, promoting the opening of The Cove movie here.

But I need your help to stop the Broome Shire Council from backing down from their courageous action in suspending their sister-city relationship with the town of Taiji.

Broome’s Shire Council voted to cut ties with the remote fishing village after seeing the feature documentary “The Cove,” which exposed Taiji’s role in the yearly slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises off the shores of Japan. I personally thanked Broome for this action.

Now, under intense pressure from the Japanese government, the Shire Council of Broome is considering reversing its position. Don't let them do it! http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFQGz/zJVq/bSq13

Our sources indicate that the suspension is a key reason why the dolphin kills have been halted. If the Shire Council reverses, the killing is likely to resume. We need your help today as the hearing is scheduled for Tuesday in Australia! http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFQGz/zJVq/bSq13

We were able to stop the dolphin slaughter at least temporarily -- but we must keep the pressure on!

Tell Broome: Stand strong against dolphin slaughter! http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFQGz/zJVq/bSq13
