This piece highlights the tragic reality of dolphin capture and slaughter, particularly in Taiji, Japan, where an estimated 23,000 dolphins are killed annually. It emphasizes the need for individual passion and activism, echoing Margaret Mead's belief that social change stems from individuals, not governments. The text discusses the challenges faced by organizations like the Oceanic Preservation Society and shed light on activists such as Ric O’Barry, who have dedicated their lives to dolphin protection. Awareness through films like "The Cove" has spurred greater public attention to this critical issue.
