Facebook Live stream captures hundreds of dolphins being tortured in Japan
100s of dolphins tortured in Japan in alarming Facebook Live streamIBTimes UK
A
pod of over 300 bottlenose dolphins is currently being tortured by
Japanese hunters for the fourth day in a row in Taiji, Wakayama, and
marine welfare charities are livestreaming footage of the abuse on
social media channels like Facebook and Twitter – in a bid to raise
awareness of the industry's horrific practices.
UK charity Sea Shepherd and US charity Dolphin Project
are currently in Japan filming and observing the systematic torture and
slaughter of dolphins by Japanese hunters – hacking collective
Anonymous is sharing their videos on social media to try to raise
awareness.
The unusually rare 'superpod' of dolphins were captured by hunters last week and have been trapped in an isolated cove near the town of Taiji
for the last four days since Friday 20 January in shallow water with no
food, which means the dolphins also cannot hydrate themselves.
The
dolphins are being kept in the cove until divers finish selecting which
dolphins should be sold into captivity to marine parks and
dolphinariums. The mammals are not selected for captivity will be
slaughtered.
Untrained, dolphins can be sold for over $25,000
(£20,000) each, while trained dolphins sell for $200,000-$300,000 each.
Sea Shepherd estimates that in its lifetime, each bottleneck dolphin
makes $1.5m for the marine park that owns it.
Because the pod is
so unusually large, it is taking time for the hunters to select dolphins
for selling to the captivity industry. The dolphins who are selected
will eventually be transferred to a holding pen and they will then be
fed in exchange for performing tricks, however, as long as the dolphins
remain in the cove, none of them will be fed.
Using Facebook Live to raise awareness after lobbying failure
Sea
Shepherd has been monitoring the dolphin hunting season in Japan for
the last six years. It has also been involved in an 11-year-long battle
with the Japanese government over illegal whaling in the Southern Ocean, and there are currently two Sea Shepherd ships in the Southern Ocean chasing after Japanese whaling ships. Japanese
hunters are holding over 300 dolphins captive in a cove for the fourth
straight day without food, as charities live stream the abuse on
Facebook Live and Twitter to raise awarenessSea Shepherd UKYou might have heard of the 2009 Academy Award-winning documentary The Cove. That's about the same Taiji cove in this story. Yet the charity says nothing has changed.
"The
Japanese are not interested, they're not listening. The International
Court of Justice in Hague ruled that dolphin slaughter and whaling is
illegal, and Japan just ignored it. The EU recently wrote a strongly
worded letter too, but they just ignore it," Sea Shepherd's
trustee/director and captain Jessie Treverton told IBTimes UK.
So
what do you do when international condemnation by multiple governments
fail to have any effect? Turn to social media. Since September 2016, Sea
Shepherd has been livestreaming the torture and slaughter of dolphins
over Facebook Live and more recently on Periscope for Twitter to raise awareness of the incredibly cruel practices being carried out by the Japanese, and the results are impressive.
Sea Shepherd's Cove Guardians campaign Facebook page
only has 370,433 likes yet – over the last seven days – visibility for
its Facebook Live videos on dolphin abuse has reached 10 million users
on the network.
Similarly
on Twitter, when the videos are live streamed, they reach 3,000 users
at a time, and after the stream ends, the video stream posts continue to
receive another 35,000 clicks.
"This is the second largest pod of
dolphins we've ever seen captured by Japanese hunters. We can't do
anything on the ground to save the dolphins in Taiji because it's
illegal. We have police following us all the time, although we do have
quite a good relationship with the local authorities in Taiji," said
Treverto, who claims she was recently stopped from entering Japan to
continue her work monitoring the dolphins.
"We're trying to use
social media as a tool to spread awareness around the world to put
pressure on Japan to end this barbaric practice. If we can educate the
public about the whole dolphin industry and where they come from, then
hopefully they won't go to "swim with dolphins" attractions,
dolphinariums and marine parks. If they don't go there and spend their
money, then the industry will end, and that's our ideal."
Anonymous has DDoS-ed aquariums and is planning more attacks
Anonymous
says that it is also planning to target all parties who are connected
to the captivity and slaughter of dolphins in Taiji, including the
aquariums and transporters of the dolphins.
A hacker in the group
recently targeted the website of a Chinese aquarium in Shenzhen and took
it offline on 15 January, and as of 4pm GMT on Monday 23 January,
Anonymous hackers are currently DDoSing Tianjin Haichang Polar Ocean
World — a marine park in Tianjin, China.
"The Anonymous collective have been watching and attacking Japan for 3 years. We at #OpKillingBay have never seen such animal cruelty as we are witnessing this week," an Anonymous spokesperson told IBTimes UK.
"For
7 hours everyday these dolphins are brutalised and taken to be sold to
marine parks. Animals have even died in terror. This atrocity which is
neither traditional nor culinary. Where are the mainstream voices for
Animal welfare?
"We will target government servers, [namely] Taiji
and Wakayama local government sites. Everyone involved with Taiji will
be a target. It is our aim to grow awareness of this atrocity. We will
be a voice for the voiceless."
