Chapter 524: Dolphin Bay
Trist said with a little excitement: "We are going to scrape together enough money for the journey, and then go to Taiji Town, Japan, to shoot the video of them hunting dolphins and killing dolphins, and then disclose it on the Internet, what do you think, by the way, this is our first actual combat operation." ”
Mu Yang couldn't complain in his heart, it turned out that these were also a group of rookies.
"Oh, does it work?" Mu Yang raised his doubts.
He knew the Japanese very well because they were stubborn, good at lies and quibbles, and called the killing of whales "scientific research". Muyang doesn't think this kind of propaganda can make much difference.
The five people who were asked by Muyang were a little embarrassed, but Telissa replied: "Actually, every year, people from the conservation organization go to Taiji Town, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan to film and stop the Japanese from hunting dolphins, to be honest, it doesn't have much effect." ”
"The Japanese are shameless, they always say, "You Westerners eat beef, we Japanese eat whale meat, is there any difference?" "They kill tens of thousands of dolphins and thousands of whales every year in that little village, and the waters are red every year during the hunting season."
"Our actions may not have much effect, but we will continue to do so, because only when more people know about the situation there will people unite against this kind of hunting and really protect whales." If the whole world and society had stood up against the Japanese whale hunting, I think Japan would have finally compromised instead of the International Whaling Commission (I.W.C.) Keep quibbling. ”
"Yes, we will not give up. Do it to the best of our ability. Several others said.
Mu Yang nodded, feeling that what they said was right, although he was a little studently. The effect may not be great, but the practice and care are definitely good.
"Tell me about Sea Shepherd, are there many such organizations in the world?" Muyang at least needs to know what kind of organization he has joined.
"For animal protection, there are many organizations around the world, such as Green. Peace Organization, World Conservation Fund, International Foundation for Animal Welfare, World Society for Animal Protection, International Committee for Bird Protection, Friends of the World, and many other organizations around the world. The main focus of our organization, Sea Shepherd, is whales, dolphins, sea lions, seals and other marine mammals. ”
"Sea Shepherd is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization registered in the United States with a foundation registered in the Netherlands, based in Friday Harbor, Washington, and in the Port of Melbourne, Australia. That's what I joined in Australia. ”
"The Association's activities are primarily guided by the United Nations World Charter for Nature and other laws and regulations for the protection of marine species and the environment." Teresa explained some of the organization's situation to Muyang.
"Carrying out activities under the guidance of the World Charter of Nature and laws and regulations, is the association only engaged in the work of appeal and publicity?" Muyang was a little disappointed, how much of a difference this can make.
Teresa smiled slyly, "It's not just propaganda and appeals, our association has its own fleet. In total, there were three large ships and some small boats. will be directly involved in the operation of stopping whaling ships from other countries, and so far, the association has sunk 10 whaling ships, and we are not soft persimmons. ”
Mu Yang heard the spirit, and this urine, it's rare, I like this kind of organization. "OK, I think the association fits my requirements very well. How do I submit my application? ”
"Real identity information, no criminal record and no record of indiscriminate killing of animals, that's all." Teresa said.
"Is your action also organized by the association?" Muyang asked.
"No, it was on our own initiative, and it's still during the holidays, so we prepared for this operation." Weavered Road.
No wonder, it's just a few children's small fights, but Muyang hasn't thought of a specific way to stop the Japanese from whaling for the time being, and he doesn't know a lot of things in it, so he just followed this young team to see it, and he could get involved in this circle.
His systematic mission is to "save the friends of mankind".
How to rescue, what kind of effect needs to be achieved, the system does not give a specific quantitative standard at all, so Muyang can only step by step, try to do it in the best direction, he believes that as long as he works hard, he will always meet the requirements of the system.
To be honest, now for Muyang, animal protection is only because of the requirements of the system task, although he also likes animals, and he will never kill animals indiscriminately, but if he is asked to give up other careers and devote himself to the cause of protecting animals, he can't do it.
After talking to Muyang, Teressa, Woodrow, Will and others once again devoted themselves to publicity and fundraising, explaining the current situation and tragic experience of whales and dolphins to the people who stopped to look at the plates.
Looking at these young people who are working hard for their ideals, Muyang feels that their lives are actually very meaningful.
At this time, two young girls stood in front of a picture board, Mu Yangxin said, I also contribute to the publicity, he hurriedly stepped forward and explained to the two young girls the importance of protecting whales and dolphins.
After finishing this promotion, Muyang invited five people to dinner, after all, he was new, so that he could quickly increase the relationship between each other.
Eat Chinese food, not much authentic, should be modified according to the taste of the locals, but the price is not cheap, in fact, Chinese restaurants abroad, although not a high-end restaurant, but the price is not cheap, any dish also costs more than ten or twenty euros.
During the dinner, Mu Yang asked about the situation of this destination, and listened to Will: "We have carried out data collection and analysis work in advance, the Japanese every year from the end of August to March of the next year, is the season of whale hunting, at that time, whales will migrate because of habits, Japan's Taiji Town is a small fishing village, there is a bay, every year dolphins will swim in the strait outside the bay, to reach their winter habitat, every year hundreds of Japanese fishing boats in the strait to block the way of dolphins. ”
"The Japanese knew that dolphins relied on sonar to find their way, so they invented a way to round up dolphins early on, fishing boats blocking the dolphins' path, and then fishermen knocked on the iron tools on the fishing boats, making a sharp sound, intimidating the dolphins and driving them into the bay outside the fishing village."
"There, there will be aquariums from all over the world to select dolphins, and those dolphins that are selected will become dolphins performing in the aquarium, but the vast majority of dolphins are not as lucky as them, but they will be killed, then made into fish, and sold in supermarkets."
"And that bay in Taiji Town is called Dolphin Bay." (To be continued.) )
