Jean-Michel Cousteau comments on the tragedy on February 24th, 2010, when trainer Dawn Brancheau was dragged into the water and killed by Tilikum, an orca at Sea World's Orlando park. This is the third death associated with Tilikum while in captivity. The tragic death of the trainer suggests that maybe we have outgrown the need to keep such wild, enormous, complex, intelligent and free-ranging animals in captivity, where their behavior is not only unnatural, it can become pathological. PETITIONS AND CONTACT FORMS / ADDRESSES BELOW FOR GOVERNMENT OF JAPAN TO PROTEST TAIJI DOLPHIN CAPTURES AND SLAUGHTERS IN THE COVE.

Sea Shepherd and Taiji – a history
In 2003, Sea Shepherd became actively involved in opposing the cetacean slaughter in Taiji, Japan, joining several individuals and organizations working on the issue including friend of Sea Shepherd, wildlife and conservation filmmaker, Hardy Jones who had been following the Taiji drive hunt almost since it began. When in 2003 Sea Shepherd sent a crew in to Taiji to document the issue, one of the members of that crew was Ric O’Barry, a leading advocate for dolphins and opponent of the captivity industry.
SUPPORT US ON THE FRONTLINES IN JAPAN
Help support our efforts in Japan to stop the killing of dolphins:
We need to expand efforts in Japan to monitor the Cove, get the translated copies of the Oscar-winning movie The Cove into the hands of the Japanese public and key decision makers, and increase worldwide pressure on Japan to end the largest killing of dolphins in the World.
