So much as gone on in the past few week where do I start.....?
As we all know, Japan was hit with a HUGE 9.0 earthquake, which brought on a Tsunami.. Some of my fellow activist friends were in Otsuchi, Japan documenting the Dall's Porpoise hunt when it all happened. More than 15,000 Dall's porpoises are being killed in this area every year, around 7000 a year in this particular city. To read about my friends experiences and to see what they saw from hill top in the town that was once Ostuchi. check this out....http://www.seashepherd.org/news-and-media/sea-shepherd-news.html They were missing for over 40 hours and I was so grateful to read that all of them were safe, and now back in there own home towns.
A lot of people were saying that the earthquake and tsunami was a bit of karma, I do believe in karma (what comes around goes around), but I do not think just because a handful of fishermen go out and slaughter crustaceans every year they were hit with this complete devastation. I Believe this came from the hands of Mother Earth. Earthquakes, tsunami, floods, fires, have been happening all over the world.
Mother Earth is mad! We are abusing her daily. Once we realize that she is much more powerful then we are, maybe, just maybe, we will wake up and start making those much needed changes for our Earth, and for us.
What is going on in Japan is devastating. Today it's in the news that radiation has been found in spinach and milk 90 miles from the nuclear plant. A lot of people are asking me if I still plan on going to Japan
in the fall.....the answer is YES!! I have a goal, and a passion, and unless it is completely unsafe for me to go, I'm going in November. I know that my trip will be a bit different now that this has happened
Since the earthquake there has been no one on the ground in Taiji to keep any eye on all the dolphins being held for captivity at the Dolphins Base. I pray that Misty and the other dolphins are doing ok.
I know all the dolphins that were in the holding pens in the harbor were killed due to the tsunami. The fisherman made sure that their fishing boats were OK, but they did nothing to make sure the holding pens were going to withstand the wave surges from the tsunami. It was reported that they had six surges, and six times the dolphins were slammed against the sharp rocky cliff.. Their cries were heard for hours, but no one came to set them free....and when it was over the fishermen collected their bodies and took them straight to the slaughter house....it makes me sick. Those few men really seem to have no heart what-so-ever.
I have started to make necklaces that represent my love for the ocean and all the creatures that live in it....I will be selling them on my blog in hopes of making money for my trip to Japan....I have posted some pictures of them, I hope you like them as much as I enjoyed creating them...
Please enjoy this most beautiful video
