Coming To Vegas? David Guetta At XS Nightclub On 9/12

Did You Know They Still Hunt Dolphins? BARBARIC! Cove Guardians Exhibit Coming To Vegas!

In the small coastal town of Taiji, Japan, thousands of dolphins and small whales are captured and killed each year during the annual dolphin drive hunt. For a staggering six months of every year, a group of dolphin hunters herd wild migrating dolphins from the ocean’s open waters into a hidden shallow bay, now infamously known around the world as the Cove. Sea Shepherd introduced the atrocities of the Cove worldwide in 2003. Since 2010 Sea Shepherd has had an ongoing presence of volunteers from around the globe who remain on the ground in Taiji, documenting the slaughters in the Cove throughout the entire dolphin hunt season. These ocean sentinels, known as Cove Guardians, document and report on the atrocities in the Cove to pressure Japan to end Taiji’s unnecessary hunt and capture of these incredibly intelligent, sentient beings. The exhibit presents photos from the campaign in the hopes of raising awareness and garnering support for the cause.
