We don't discriminate against other species, however our passion is for the smaller cetaceans (dolphins and other small whales).
The SV Rhona H mascot is a group of three dolphins:
Jesse (the original name of Rhona H) and her two babies Tyson and lauren (named after Juile's neice Jessy's children.
We proudly support Australia for Dolphins, especailly the action for and in Taiji.
From their website:
'The aim of Australia for Dolphins is to stop cruelty to, and gain legal protection for, small cetaceans (dolphins and other small whales). AFD focusses on small cetaceans in particular because these highly sentient animals have in practice no international legal protection, and are subjected to some of the most extreme cruelty inflicted on animals anywhere in the world.
AFD’s primary goal is to bring an end to unregulated and inhumane hunts which kill tens of thousands of small cetaceans annually. Initially, AFD will focus on the world’s largest hunts - the dolphin, porpoise and pilot whale hunts which occur in the waters off Japan. Subsequent campaigns will extend to slaughters elsewhere in the world, and to the cruel treatment of small cetaceans in captive facilities for commercial purposes.'
We follow all the Cove Guardians very closely and are hapy to wear T-shirts and other items supporting the incredible people giving the doplhins a voice in Taiji.
