Помочь дельфинам можно прежде всего отказом от посещения дельфинариев или парков "Плавай с Делфинами" (swim with dolphins). Следующим очень действенным шагом было бы написание письма Правительству Японии. Примерный текст приводится ниже:
Dear Mr. Junichiro Koizumi,

I am outraged by the slaughter of dolphins and whales
that takes place in Japan. The images of bloody red
water clearly show the world that Japan has little
respect for the state of the world's oceans.

Many scientific studies show that the oceans are in
decline. We must take whatever actions are necessary
to stop their over-exploitation and to protect the
creatures that live in them. These dolphins do not
belong to Japan. It is an unthinkable waste that they
will likely end up as a meat product or deceptively
sold as whale meat, polluted with toxic levels of
mercury and cadmium, killing the people that eat it.

In addition, the methods used to kill these animals
are cruel. Driving the dolphins into a cove, confusing
them with loud noises, and then spearing them, leaving
them to slowly die is an inhumane method of fishing.
This action is disgraceful and has caused much
disappointment in the international community.

We demand that Japan permanently and immediately
renounce and stop this slaughter.

Sincerely,

Подпись и страна
