08.09.13 - Taiji/Japan – Um die weltweiten Proteste gegen die Treibjagden, den Gefangenschaftsnahmen für Delfinarien und dem Töten der Delfine eine Beruhigungspille zu verpassen, hat der weltweite Verband der Zoos und Aquarien WAZA versichert, dass im September keine Großen Tümmler getötet werden.
“At this time it has been officially confirmed that during September dolphins will be collected for aquaria, the only species taken will be the Bottlenose dolphin, and the method employed will be ‘herding’. No dolphins will be taken for human consumption during September, and all surplus animals will be released.“
Dieses Versprechen des Zoo-Weltverbandes ist nichts wert. Gestern wurde in Taiji nach einer Treibjagd ein Delfinbaby seiner Mutter entrissen und getötet!
