Whaling operations still threaten whales and dolphins today.
Whale and dolphin captivity
When whales and dolphins are captured for display in marine parks and aquaria, they are removed from their natural populations and can no longer contribute to the health of their family groups, or the oceans.
Learn MoreThe Cove connects the deadly dolphin drive hunts and captivity.
During the drive hunts, some dolphins are selected alive by aquaria. Dolphins from these hunts are shipped within Japan and to other international facilities, including swim-with-the-dolphin programs in places like China, Ukraine, Turkey, Thailand, and Vietnam.
