Excerpt

The International Dolphin Day is celebrated annually every September 12 and it was created a year ago by Sea Shepherd, a non-profit, marine conservation activism organization based in Washington in the United States, to mark the one year anniversary of the largest slaughter of cetaceans (whales and dolphins) in recorded history which took place in Faroe Islands resulting to 1,428 dolphin deaths and the event is a reminder that the remaining dolphins in the world should have protection.
