In a 5-week period at the beginning of 2002, the dead bodies of over 100 dolphins were found on the beaches of southern England, and over 400 on the beaches of France. At the end of March, the figure had risen to over 1000.
This slaughter must not happen again.
We need your help to persuade the legislators and the fishing industry to implement measures to significantly reduce cetacean bycatch in European waters.

“Recent history indicates that man's impact upon marine mammals has ranged from what might be termed malign neglect to virtual genocide.
These animals including whales, porpoises, seals, sea otters, polar bears, manatees and others, have not only rarely benefited from our interest; they have been shot, blown up, clubbed to death, run down by boats, poisoned and exposed to a multitude of other indignities, all in the interest of profit or recreation, with little or no consideration of the potential impact of these activities on the animal populations involved”.
