Stop The Killing of Dolphins And Porpoises in Taiji, Japan!

I am a staunch supporter of animal rights because these animals do not have a voice. However, a lot of people treat them cruelly and that is just unacceptable like how Taiji dolphin hunters kill the dolphins. And this has been happening for sometime now. When will it stop?

I saw this video from a friend's wall post. I was shocked and saddened that this happens in a country I respect and love - Japan. I don't blame the Japanese people because I think, not everybody knows that this kind of barbaric act actually happens in their very own country. (You can view the video here.)

Now is the time to give a voice to these precious mammals - the dolphins and porpoises. They shouldn't be killed for their meat which the Japanese brand under "whale meat." It is plain deception, cruelty, barbaric and evil.

Why does man do something to change the equilibrium that nature has intended? Leave the dolphins, whales and porpoises alone! The ocean is their shelter, who are you to take them out of there?

Put an end to barbaric killings of dolphins and porpoises in Taiji, Japan. The world has to know. Spread this to the world, educate the people and stop the killing.

Disoriented Dolphins

I know humans get disoriented but never realized that dolphins do as well. About 200 to 300 dolphins were found in the shallow waters of Manila Bay yesterday near Bataan. Villagers, volunteers, fishermen and the navy were together in their effort to drive back the pod of dolphins to the deeper part of the sea. They were found swimming back and forth in an obvious state of disorientation where the probable cause is not yet defined.

I am so grateful to the courageous people who did their part to save these hapless animals. God Bless you all (and the dolphins!).

I'm back!

Yes! I was itching to type away! I have definitely morphed into an addicted blogger. Few days away from my laptop didn't do any good. I am never leaving my typing activity at all.

The trip was tiring and I am sad that I was not able to meet a good blogger pal - Jade. We exchanged texts and I was really hopeful to see her. However, travelling with other parties can be very tiring too because they have their own plans and I have mine and somehow, I have to cancel mine to accommodate theirs (I don't want to hurt some one's feelings so I had to give way...).

It was still a fun-filled vacation for us especially for the young princess since it was her first time to visit Singapore. A lot has changed indeed since the last time I have been there; 6 years to be exact! There were so many constructions which I had not seen back then. I think Singapore is busier now as it was before but it still remains to be one of the nicest cosmopolitan places in the world.

We spent the whole day in Sentosa. Due to time constraint, we were unable to visit Jurong Bird park and the Night Safari for the little princess' educational tour. Well, the day spent in Sentosa was enough to excite her senses especially the glass-bottom cable ride, the pink dolphin show, the fish and other sea creatures in the Underwater World and the great show of the Song of the Sea.

We'll be back in Singapore for sure. The next time will definitely be a longer one and I WILL HOLD THE REINS!
