Threats to Wild Dolphins!

Stop industrial fishing !

There are other people who do dolphins harm.
Some fishermen, for example, use enormous nets to catch as many fish as possible. 

Unfortunately many dolphins are also caught by accident. 
They cannot swim to the surface any more to breathe and so they drown. Every year thousands of dolphins die in this way.

There are also people who kill dolphins for food: in Japan and in the Faroe Islands, which belong to Denmark, the fishermen push the dolphins towards the beach and then kill them with knives and harpoons. 
Dolphin meat is sold in butcher's shops.

In Japan, a dolphin leaves for the butcher's shop….

But the most dangerous thing for dolphins is the chemicals which are in the seawater. 
Factories throw their waste into rivers. Farmers use fertilizers for their fields.
All chemical products are carried away by rain water.
They flow into the sea and go into the bodies of fish.
And dolphins only eat fish!

On top of this there are less and less fish in the seas and less and less to eat for the dolphins. Too many fishermen take too much fish every day.
One day, if they continue like this, there will be nothing left at all.

So, the next time you go shopping, ask your Mummy to buy vegetarian foods more often which do not contain any meat or fish.  It is very good for your health and much nicer for the other animals !
