  • Taiji: The End of Dolphin Slaughter Season
    The Taiji dolphin slaughter was as horrendous as always, but the numbers of dolphins being killed and captures continues to decline. Can we end the dolphin hunts for good?

    The last captive orca in Canada, Kiska, has died, after being kept alone for twelve years at the notorious MarineLand park in Niagara Falls. If Tokitae (Lolita) goes home to a seaside sanctuary, the only North American captive orcas will be those in SeaWorld's three parks.
