This annoys my boyfriend more than anything… Definitely something I need to work on.
Me too. u.u
RAISE AWARENESS
What you see up top is a Cove in Taiji Japan. This cove is covered in blood for most of the year. Where is the blood from? Dolphins.
The Cove exposes the slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises off the coast of Japan every year, and how their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is sold as food in Japan and other parts of Asia, often labeled as whale meat. The majority of the world is not aware this is happening.
Out of the 20,000 only a handful is auctioned off to marine aquariums for shows and entertainment. As for the rest, they are slaughtered and killed in inhumane ways, for no reason. The people in japan barely even know this is happening, or the fact that they are being killed slowly with their mercury intake that their government lies about.
YOU ALL KNOW HOW FAST TUMBLR INFORMATION CAN GET REBLOGGED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
So Spread the word of awareness. Dolphins are up there with people, they need to be protected. Help spread awareness to end this horrible act. For more information you can visit the official site, or watch the movie on netflix or through other sources.

This is my dad. He’s been my best friend ever since I was born. He’s the most important person in the world to me, and has recently been diagnosed with kidney cancer. Right now it’s only in his kidney. If he waits a while to get the procedure done to get it removed, it will spread throughout his body. My dad is so afraid that he’s in denial. He didn’t even tell my brother and I, my mom had to be the one to tell us. He lives 1500 miles away from me and I see him 4 times a year (if I’m lucky). It’s been three months since he found out, but the doctors said he’s had it for a year. I don’t know what I would ever do if I lost my best friend because he made the decision to not get the procedure done.
If this gets at least 50k notes, I will decide to show this post to my dad. Yes, I know this isn’t going to cure his cancer, but I’m doing everything I can to motivate him to get the surgery. I’m only 17 and I want my dad to walk me down the aisle when I’m older. Please show him that he’s not alone and that you care. This might save his life. Please.
