"Diamond Dolphins"A Night for the Dolphins

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar. 3, 2013 - (Los Angeles, CA) - BeverlyJ Public Relations will host "Diamond Dolphins" A Night for the Dolphins Celebrity Charity Event benefiting Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and Oceanic Preservation Society March 13, 2013 at 6:00 PM at Olympia Luxe Mansion in Hollywood Hills in an effort to raise awareness regarding the brutal slaughter and captivity of dolphins in Taiji, Japan. According to Oceanic Preservation Society, each year from September to May over 20,000 dolphins are slaughtered in Japan. Fishermen round them up by the hundreds using sound barriers to disorient and herd the frantic pods out of their normal migrations into hidden lagoons like the one featured in the 2009 Academy Award-winning documentary, The Cove. Bottlenose dolphins, especially ones that look like Flipper, are pre-selected by trainers and sold off for upwards of $200,000 to marine mammal parks around the world, where they will remain in captivity performing as circus acts. After the trainers and spectators have left, the rest of the dolphins are inhumanely killed one-by-one in front of their pod mates in what can only be described as a bloody massacre.Proceeds from the event will benefit both Sea Shepherd Conservation Society & Oceanic Preservation Society in the fight against dolphin captivity and slaughter.
