Introduction
Animal abuse is happening everywhere in the world but especially in
Taiji Japan. Ella Van Cleave is trying to stop all animal abuse across the
world. You can learn about how animals are hurt every day and
everywhere. Dolphins and Orcas play a huge role in our water and if they
get taken away something could happen to our water. In this book, you will
learn all about who did those terrible things, who is trying to change and
where it is happening.
What is Animal Abuse?
Animal Abuse is a very bad thing and can ruin our environment.
A lot of the animals affected are water animals. For example, dolphins,
orcas, and sharks get killed and held in captivity and will die very
young. Sea World and Miami Seaquarium are used for entertainment
they capture these innocent animals and keep them in this tiny cage.
What are the facts?

Also, dolphins get killed too many times a year. Animal abuse is
a terrible thing we need to change. 149,604 animals die every year
from animal abuse, That is dogs, Sea animals, and many other
creatures. People are making many animals be extinct and die, we
need to stop this. You should take a part of this problem if you believe
that we need to change this.
Who is Ella Van Cleave?
Ella Van Cleave is an 18-year old that is changing our world. She
lives in Victoria, Canada where she researches about dolphins and
orcas getting killed and held in captivity. When she was fourteen years
old she spoke up on a Ted talk and told about everything she knows.
What started all this off was when she watched “The Cove” when she
was twelve years old.
What is she changing?
She wants to end captivity and slaughtering animals she has
learned so much more by joining many campaigns and groups. Ella

this and wants to save the animals. You can read more about her and

Why Taiji Japan?
Taiji, Japan is the worst place for killing dolphins, 2,300 dolphins are
killed each year. They kill so many dolphins and only about 1% of their
population eat the dolphins. They give it to kids for lunches at school and
many kids will die or get sick for sicknesses in the dolphins that they were
consuming. Most of the dolphins will only live for 1-3 years then get killed
and taken by the fisherman.
How they got known
The film “The Cove” was filmed in Taiji and the main
fisherman Ric O’barry was deported from the country for killing so
many dolphins in one movie and using a fake Visa. Ella Van
Cleave was sickened by this situation and does not agree with
them at all. This link is a website that has exact quotes from the
dolphin.

Many people are aware of this happening, But only take
few take action. You can help by donating money to all of the go
fund me’s or websites around the world that are in need. Take
action so our dolphins and orcas aren’t held in captivity or killed.
This would help our world so we could keep the oceans and
seas clean. We need to take action.

Amy Poehler has a website called “Heavy Petting” that helps dogs find
homes. Kaley Cuoco hosted the Allstar dog rescue celebration in 2015
which helped raise money for Human Societies all over the world.
