Thousands of dolphins are sacrificed every year in France to satisfy our appetite for fish.

If the bloody massacres of dolphins in the Faroe Islands and in Japan rightly shock public opinion, a more insidious killing of even greater magnitude is perpetrated every year in France, more particularly along the Atlantic coast.

Several industrial fishing methods still authorized in France and abroad in spite of ethics and ecological common sense are methodically exterminating numerous populations of marine mammals. So much so, that the captures by fishing gear are now considered the main threat to the survival of cetaceans, although protected.

The stranding rate recorded by scientists is 30 times higher than the normal rate. With an average range of 10,000 dolphins killed per year on the Atlantic coast, the mortality rate that should not be exceeded over a whole year is exceeded in only one month!
