Dave Rastovich and crew paddle out for Japan dolphins

Acclaimed professional surfer and dolphin defender Dave Rastovich made a bold declaration against the ongoing commercial slaughter of dolphins in Japan by leading an international crew of surfers, musicians, actors and activists in a traditional surfing paddle-out ceremony to honor the memory of the thousands of dolphins killed each year at the notorious killing cove in Taiji Japan.

Ric O’Barry, Director of the Save Japan Dolphins coalition, is in Taiji continuing to lead effort to educate the Japanese public about the cruelty of the drive fishery and the toxic contamination in dolphin meat being sold in Japan.
