Every year in Japan the annual drive hunt (fishery) season, which runs from 1 October to 30 March, sees the slaughter of over 20,000 dolphins, porpoises and small whales. During this time, Japanese fishermen are responsible for the killing of the largest number of dolphins anywhere in the world. These hunts are sustained by marine parks which pay large amounts of money for live dolphins to re-stock their facilities.
