Shocking images have emerged of a brutal yet legal dolphin drive hunt in Japan.

Despite being considered one of the most gentle and intelligent creatures on the planet, thousands of dolphins are still captured or killed every year.

The drive hunts see hundreds of the mammals chased, rounded up and slaughtered over a period of hours or even days, while others are dragged away to be sold for up to $100,000 each to marine parks around the world.

In the Japanese fishing village of Taiji, fishermen are rounding up and slaughtering hundreds and even thousands of dolphins right now.

After driving pods of dolphins into shallow coves, the fishermen kill the dolphins, slashing their throats with knives or stabbing them with spears. Thrashing about, the dolphins take as long as six minutes to die. The water turns red with their blood and the air fills with their screams.

This brutal massacre — the largest scale dolphin kill in the world — goes on for six months of every year. Even more shocking, the captive dolphin industry is an accomplice to the kill.

Santa Claus needed a vacation. He decided to go to Texas because
it was warm and he had heard that the people were friendly. As
soon as he arrived in town, people began to point and say, "Look!
The big red one! Isn't he someone famous?

Santa thought, "Gee, I'll never get any rest if people star asking
to sit on my lap and try to tell me things they want." So he
decided to disguise himself. He bought a cowboy outfit complete
with cowboy boots and cowboy hat. "No one will know me now, I look
just like everyone else!" he thought happily.

As soon as Santa started walking down the street people began to
point and say, "Look! It's that famous Christmas personality!"
Santa rushed around a corner to hide.

"It's my beard!" he thought. "They recognize me because of my long
white beard!" So Santa went to a barbershop and had his beard
shaved off. "I really look like everybody else now!" Santa thought.

So he walked down the street with a big smile on his face.
Suddenly a man shouted, "It's him! It's him! Look everybody!"

Santa couldn't believe it. He was sure that no one would recognize
him. So Santa walked up to the man and said, "How did you
recognize me?"

The man looked at Santa and said, "You? I don't know you, but
isn't that four-legged guy with the big red nose behind you
Rudolph?"

...and spend as much time trying to get away from there as I can :o).


Sounds a bit like me Neal, I live in Morecambe!

How long have you got? I'm afraid these boards just wouldn't be able to cope with all the sordid details that went on that weekend!;o)

Some of us even managed to go and watch Leicester play their last home game against Leeds.

If you send a mail here I'll fill you in on all the rest...are you brave enough?:o)




....but to answer your question, No, we didn't get chance to go to the Space Centre, I think the pubs got in the way, but we did go to the Noodle Bar...does that count?
