No Justice In Japan For Dolphin Guardian (TAKE ACTION)

February 10, 2012

(DOLPHIN NEWS) On December 16, Sea Shepherd volunteer Erwin Vermeulen was arrested in Taiji, Japan for “pushing” a Japanese hotel employee. The Dolphin Resort Hotel employee  was supposed to be keeping people away from the area because the hotel was transporting dolphins from cages in the ocean into the hotel. The employee claims Vermeulen shoved him in the chest while taking pictures of dolphins. Vermeulen says he didn’t have to push anyone to get better pictures, because he simply walked right past the employee who was busy talking on his cell phone. DNA evidence conducted during the trial proved Vermeulen had no physical contact with the employee. Yet Erwin Vermeulen has spent 56 days in Japanese prison, and continues to be held. Read on for more info on the recent Sea Shepherd news. — Global Animal
