Doherty arrived in Taiji Friday afternoon (Japan time) and for several days will stand with Sea Shepherd’s Cove Guardians along the shores of Taiji as they document and live stream to the world the brutal drive hunt and capture of dolphins and pilot whales in Taiji’s infamous killing cove. Doherty, a dedicated supporter of Sea Shepherd, will bear witness with the Cove Guardians and shine a bright, international spotlight on the atrocities committed against cetaceans in Taiji.
“We are thrilled to have Shannen Doherty join the Cove Guardians in Taiji. Her presence will bring worldwide attention to what is happening to these intelligent, socially complex marine mammals in the cove, and help apply even more pressure on Japan to end the killing,” said Sea Shepherd Senior Cove Guardian Leader, Melissa Sehgal. “On Valentine’s Day, Shannen joined Sea Shepherd for our ‘World Love for Dolphins Day’ demonstration in Los Angeles, along with thousands of people in cities around the world. Now she has kindly joined Sea Shepherd in Taiji, bringing her love for dolphins to the frontlines to protect them.”
