Reported recently there was a finding of a Dolphin with four fins, which is an extra pair of fins. This is very rare, the dolphin was seen still alive on October 28th. The dolphin was spotted in Japan during a “drive hunt.” At a “drive hunt” numerous amounts of fishermen use boats to gather up dolphins. The fishermen want all of the dolphins to swim into shallow bays. The dolphins are trapped and later are killed. Very few dolphins survive this and are then sold to aquariums. This is a devastating process. The killing process of the dolphins is getting worse, and even more brutal then previous processes. There are more than 20,000 dolphins killed. The hunt runs through the months of September until April. It is said to be that the dolphin with an extra set of fins is the start of a new breed, scientist believe this is a good thing. The government is in charge and issues the okay of it. I think that is ridiculous to be killing these innocent dolphins. It’s not normal and I believe it is horrible. The hunt’s take place on the villages of Taiji and Futo. This new dolphin is going to lead to many questions and is going to push scientists intelligence.
