Support The Cetaceans Bill of Rights
Cetacean (Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises) Rights:
A Moral and Legal Change Conference was held in Helisnka at the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies, University of Helsinki, Finland On May 21, 2010
On May 22, 2010 the following a Cetaceans Bill of Rights was released:
Based on the principle of the equal treatment of all persons;
Recognizing that scientific research gives us deeper insights into the complexities of cetacean minds, societies and cultures;
Noting that the progressive development of international law manifests an entitlement to life by cetaceans;
We affirm that all cetaceans as persons have the right to life, liberty and wellbeing.
We conclude that:1. Every individual cetacean has the right to life.
2. No cetacean should be held in captivity or servitude; be subject to cruel treatment; or be removed from their natural environment.
3. All cetaceans have the right to freedom of movement and residence within their natural environment.
4. No cetacean is the property of any State, corporation, human group or individual.
5. Cetaceans have the right to the protection of their natural environment.
6. Cetaceans have the right not to be subject to the disruption of their cultures.
7. The rights, freedoms and norms set forth in this Declaration should be protected under international and domestic law.
8. Cetaceans are entitled to an international order in which these rights, freedoms and norms can be fully realized.
9. No State, corporation, human group or individual should engage in any activity that undermines these rights, freedoms and norms.
10. Nothing in this Declaration shall prevent a State from enacting stricter provisions for the protection of cetacean rights.Agreed, 22nd May 2010, Helsinki, Finland

Please do not spend your hard earned money to purchase tickets to Dolphin Shows or pay to pet, feed, or swim with captive Dolphins.
These practices encourage the continued capture, slaughter, and sale of a few survivors into lives of captivity.The video below is a sample of what happens to cetaceans when they are hunted in order to get a few survivors to sell into lives of captivity.
So called dolphin trainers select a few pretty ones from the captured pod. These Dolphins are taken away and shipped out to spend their lives in slavery. The rest of their Dolphin Pod (Family) are brutally slaughtered to be sold for meat. The dolphin meat by the way is highly contaminated and not really fit for consumption by humans.
Thank you to BigGunnsMissions’s , an actual eyewitness to this slaughter for providing the video below. Location – Taiji, Japan, just a few days ago. Taiji Fishermen use the inhumane Dolphin Drive Hunt method to capture these Dolphins.
