ACTION ALERT

Please join us at Wednesday's protest outside the Vancouver Aquarium to
bring attention to the fact that they are buying performing dolphins from
Japan, the country that kills tens of thousands of dolphins every year for
pet food and saves a few to sell to aquariums. There is no such thing as
a dolphin "rescue" in Japan because even if a dolphin is caught
accidentally in a fishing net, by law the fishermen are not allowed to
release the dolphin. In Japan, all captured whales and dolphins must be
killed or sold to aquariums.
