...activists are putting pressure on the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums(WAZA), which oversees the Japan Association of Zoos and Aquariums (JAZA). Recently, Campaign Director at the Dolphin Project Ric O’Barry and Sakae Hemmi of Japan’s Elsa Nature Conservancy met with Gerald Dick, Executive Director WAZA in Switzerland. The goal is to get WAZA and JAZA to drop support for aquariums and marine parks that buy dolphins captured in Taiji’s drive hunts, like the Taiji Whale Museum, which houses the albino baby dolphin caught last year.
