Somedays it would be easier to just ignore what is going on in our oceans. Particularly now that there are volunteers in Taiji Japan documenting daily the number of dolphins that are captured and killed and we can all see first hand the horrors that are taking place.
2 websites report daily.
Sea Shepard's and
Ric O'Barry's blog
I know there are things going on here at home that need our help.......but after I saw "The Cove" I've been unable to let this go.
It's my cause right now, my passion, to save these dolphins. And to save the whales they are preparing to go out and kill anyday now. The vessels are in the harbor.
The intense anger I feel over what the Japanese allow to go on in our oceans burns my heart. Literally.
I pray about this daily.........what does God want me to do?
In time, my answer will come.
For today, I am participating in the worldwide Save Japans Dolphins Day protest from 12-2. A lot of us are out of work and this will be a great place to gather together and do some good. Sure beats sitting home alone on the computer sending out resumes that never get answered.
In places like Florida, and around the world where oceans are close by their will be huge turnouts.
This is a longshot cause to be a part of, there's no doubt about that. It's heartbreaking and I am in pain a great deal of the time. I also know God hears my prayers to watch out for and save the dolphins and whales that Japan allows its fisherman to kill DAILY.
I believe that most people in Japan do NOT support what is going on in Taiji. Most don't even know what's taking place in this village........much less that their government allows it to take place.
My biggest hope at this time is for everyone to watch "THE COVE"..........that's where you can see firsthand why so many of us are up in arms over this.
