Activists say it’s common for fishermen to cut body parts off the suffocated dolphins after they are pulled up on the nets, to save the nets
But what shocked French marine researchers wasn’t just the brutality of the deaths of these highly intelligent mammals, but the numbers involved — a record 1,100 have landed on France’s Atlantic coast beaches since January.
“Already in three months, we have beaten last year’s record, which was up from 2017 and even that was the highest in 40 years.” But animal rights group Sea Shepherd said his measures do not go far enough, and has already decried the acoustic repellents as “useless.” “The government needs to take responsibility and act — especially Macron, who said he wanted to protect ecology,” Lamya Essemlali, President of Sea Shepherd France, told The Associated Press.
