Description

a posterical painting i made for supporting the "Save Japan Dolphins" activism led by Ric O'Barry

you can visit : savejapandolphins.org
for getting more infos about what the activists do

and here some infos from wiki about Ric O' Barry:
Richard (Ric) O'Barry (born c. 1941[1]) was first recognized in the 1960s for capturing and training the five dolphins that were used in the well-known TV series Flipper. O'Barry made a radical transition from training dolphins in captivity to assertively combating the captivity industry soon after Kathy, one of the Flipper dolphins, died, allegedly committing suicide in his arms.[2]
In 1970 he founded the Dolphin Project, a group that aims to free captive dolphins. He was featured in the Academy Award-winning film, The Cove (2009), which used covert techniques to expose the yearly dolphin drive hunting that goes on in Taiji, Japan.

O'Barry also worked on the Academy Award-winning feature-length documentary The Cove, directed by Louie Psihoyos. The 2009 film centers on Taiji, Wakayama, Japan, drawing attention to the hunt of about 2,000 dolphins taking place there every year.

and uh.. i heard the slaughter ussually held at september each year
and now it's said that the activist is collecting signs from people to support them, and they have high hopes that they'll get signs from Mr. President Obama himself

i hope this dolphin slaughter will end soon enough
cheers~
