Dead Dolphins on the French Coast: Sea Shepherd France Begins Patrols

FEB 20 2019 · 12:00

Every year thousands of dolphins are found dead off the Atlantic coast of France. Several hundred bodies have already been found on the beaches this year (and probably thousands more at sea). Despite scientific evidence showing these deaths are due to industrial fishing boats, this fact is disputed by the fishing industry, which claims the deaths are natural. Because France does not require observers on these fishing boats, the killing has gone undocumented for over 30 years.
