Armed with research, compassion and bloody and graphic undercover footage, Stefan Austermühle, a Peruvian-based activist, and BlueVoice, a Florida-based NGO, are working to stop the slaughtering of what they estimate to be 5,000-15,000 dolphins annually in Peruvian waters.
Yesterday, conservationists announced a campaign to end dolphin slaughtering in Peru. BlueVoice, an ocean conservation organization based in Florida, and Mundo Azul, an NGO based in Lima, Peru, united for the campaign. Every year, between 5,000 and 15,000 dolphins are killed, according to calculations on fishing boat practices, and "undercover testimony," according to Blue Voice.
