Edits: I didn't expect this post to receive so much response. I appreciate those of you who corrected me respectfully. WAZA no longer buys from Taiji hunts, and most of the captures are being sold to aquariums within Japan itself. While many dolphins do get killed, they do get released sometimes too (traumatised). Despite all these, I would like to mention that this piece of art was not only meant to raise awareness about Taiji, but also to shed light on the plight of these animals. Aquariums are not sanctuaries. Dolphins there have a poor quality of life. Empty the tanks.

I also apologise for not tagging this under tw.

Original:

It Should Be Blue.

I started a personal art challenge a fellow artist on Twitter lovingly named Chillcember. This is for the first prompt 'nightmare'. It's a little morbid, but I'm not sorry for painting this. It's nothing but the truth.

In Taiji, when the dolphin hunters gather a pod of dolphins, they'll sell the pretty-looking ones and kill the rest. Imagine having to listen and watch your own family suffer, all for the sake of someone else's entertainment. A method they use to kill them? By tying their tails to their boats so that they drown. By visiting aquariums anywhere in the world, it means you support such inhumane acts. Please don't. Sometimes, there can be so much blood the whole area turns red.

To learn more, head on over to the Dolphin Project.

Tell Sports San Diego That There’s Nothing Sporting About SeaWorld! | PETA

Sports San Diego (a trade name of the San Diego Bowl Game Association) still promotes SeaWorld on its Holiday Bowl website, despite knowing that the abusement park confines sensitive, intelligent orcas.

Reposted from @discoversharks Via @savethereef ⚠️TRAGIC BREAKING NEWS, PLEASE SHARE AND HELP US HONOR KISKA!⚠️Kiska, MarineLand’s last orca died earlier today. Her passing marks the end of orca captivity in Canada forever. Poor Kiska was taken from her family in the wild off the coast of Iceland in 1979 and until today she had outlived all her tank mates, including her 5 calves and she was in complete isolation since 2011…FOR 11+ YEARS! She died today, completely depressed and broken as a result of being imprisoned at Marineland. Announcing Kiska's death today, Marineland said: "Marineland's marine mammal care team and experts did everything possible to support Kiska’s comfort and will mourn her loss,” but what they don’t say is that Marineland forced Kiska into a torturous lifelong imprisonment where only in death is Kiska finally free. MARINELAND SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED AND SHUT DOWN AS THIS IS HEARTBREAKING — WE MUST SPEAK UP FOR THE VOICELESS SO THAT KISKA’S TRAGIC LIFE/DEATH IS NOT IN VAIN! We’ve posted about Kiska numerous times on @karmgawa and @savethereef with our friend @walrus_whisperer who has been fighting for her release and we’re reposting those videos now in her honor for you to share with your followers and to tag people, celebrities, influencers and news media who must see and share this too — no other innocent animal deserves such a miserable life/tragic death like this, we MUST remind everyone: #dontbuyaticket to cruel places like this! We are so sorry for everything you had to endure Kiska! #restinpeace #RIPKiska #emptythetanks #stopanimalcruelty https://www.instagram.com/p/CppaxqDu9L0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Posted @withregram • @the_vegan_pilgrim 🌊🐬The brain of the bottlenose dolphin is larger and more complex than a human brain.. But why do humans continue killing dolphins, or imprisoning them in small tanks until they die?? Because humans are greedy with small brains.💀 🚫Boycott all aquariums, everywhere!🌍🌏🌎 🚫Never go to aquariums!🐠🐙🐬 @seaspiracy @seashepherduk #taiji #brain #whales #biology #thecove #dolphins #seaworld #cetacean #aquariums #intelligence #brainpower #taijidolphins #closeallzoos #dolphinshow #seaworldkills #freethewhales #aquariumlover #emptythetanks #freetheanimals #seaworldsucks #endspeciesism #zoosareprisons #freethedolphins #animalliberation #dolphinslaughter #bottlenosedolphin #leaveanimalsalone #aquariumsarecruel #dolphinsofinstagram #aquariumsareprisons https://www.instagram.com/p/ConnjFmPpL8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#REPOST @hakim_komite with @get__repost__app Repost from @freedomfordolphins • 📢 Marmaris'teki Onmega Yunus Gösteri Merkezi'nde yunus ölümleri bitmiyor! Media On Taiji ekibi aracılığıyla, Jonas olduğu tahmin edilen hasta bir yunusun daha tesiste öldüğü ve Daisy ile Eva adlı kalan iki yunusun Antalya'daki bir yunus gösteri merkezine transfer edildiği bilgisine ulaştık. Yaklaşık 1,5 - 2 yıl içinde tutsak edilen 5 yunusun hayatını kaybettiği Marmaris'teki hayvan hapishanesi, şu anda Antalya'da Dolphinland adlı yunus parkı ile birlikte Ukrayna'daki savaşı bahane ederek kamuoyu yaratmaya ve 5199 sayılı kanunda yasak olmasına rağmen yurtdışından yunus ithal ederek hayvanların esareti üzerinden ticaretlerini sürdürmeye çalışıyor. Dahası, hayvan hapishanelerini denetlemekle yükümlü olan ve "yeni hayvan alımları yoluyla kapasite artırımını" engellemesi gereken Tarım ve Orman Bakanlığı'ndan bunun için izin almak üzere olduklarını öğrendik. Yunus parkında çalışan bir kişiden aldığımız isimsiz ihbar ve basında çıkan haberlerle desteklenen bu gelişmelere karşı yasal haklarımızı kullanacağız. Daha önce ölümünü duyurduğumuz yunus Splash dahil olmak üzere, tesisteki diğer yunus ölümleri ve hak ihlalleri hakkında birlikte suç duyurusunda ve şikayette bulunduğumuz HAKİM @hakim_komite ile usulsüzlüklere ve cezasızlığa karşı mücadelemizi sürdüreceğiz. Hem yunus gösteri merkezi sahipleri hem de görevini kötüye kullanan Tarım ve Orman Bakanlığı'na karşı... Aynı zamanda suç duyurusunda kullandığımız delil niteliğindeki fotoğraf ve videoları da paylaşmaya başlayacağız. Bu haberi lütfen yayın. Yunusların art arda öldüğü bir ticari işletmeye çeşitli bahanelerle ve yasadışı şekilde yeni yunus getirilmesine, ölene kadar hapsedilip sömürülmesine ve bakanlıkça buna izin verilmesine karşı ses çıkarın! @tarimgovtr @antalyadkmp @mugladkmp 📷: Jonas, Tracey Özdemir/Media On Taiji #yunusparklarıkapatılsın #marmarisdolphinpark #turkey #holiday #marmaris #captivitykills #bottlenosedolphin #thanksbutnothanks #emptythetanks #hayvanhapishaneleriyasaklansın #dolphinproject #hayvanhakları #hayvanözgürlüğü #hayvanseverler #yunus #hayvanaşiddetsuçtur #dolphinland #tarımveormanbakanlığı https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWWfyUI22J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

fifty years in a bathtub.....

RIP Lolita

you are finally free.

More than half a century after being abducted from the ocean and robbed of her home, family, and freedom, Lolita the orca has died in the world’s smallest orca tank at the Miami Seaquarium.

Merciless Mayhem... #Review #Fiction # Native American Literature #EmptyTheTanks #DontBuyATicket @SueColetta1

Shawnee and Mayhem continue to wreak havoc on the Killzme Corporation—the largest animal trafficking ring in the country—by killing one poacher at a time. The stakes grow increasingly higher when the nefarious group retaliates by putting a bounty on their heads. Meanwhile, the traffickers set their sights on capturing Orca for profit and pleasure. With a ticking clock and no place left to hide,…
