Seven million dead dolphins. It's a number almost too large to comprehend.
But that's how many dolphins have died since the late 1950's from being
caught in fishing nets to ultimately drown or suffer severe injuries.
Dolphins, one of the most intelligent marine mammals,
were tracked by fishermen, tangled in nets, and left to die,
all for the tuna industry.
1950年末期開始 因為鮪魚漁業而導致的大量海豚死亡或受傷
We need your help today to prevent this senseless slaughter again:

For reasons unknown to scientists, dolphins are often accompanied by
substantial schools of large, mature yellowfin tuna.
So fishermen trying to catch tuna look for dolphins first.
Another fact about dolphins: they are mammals, just like we are -
they breathe air, and so have to swim to the surface of the water
periodically to breathe. But this means that when fishermen chase them
to the point of exhaustion to make the tuna beneath them easier to catch,
the dolphins are then caught in the fishing nets and dragged beneath the water,
where they suffocate and drown.
海豚常常伴隨著大群黃鰭鮪的出現 所以想捕鮪魚的漁夫們會先尋找海豚
並且在追逐和張網獵補黃鰭鮪的過程 讓這些海豚窒息而死
Dolphins have suffered horrible deaths for the sake of catching tuna,
and then they are tossed aside. Please help us protect dolphins today:

In the past, tuna caught through the targeting of dolphins could not carry
the "dolphin-safe" label. But federal officials recently tried to weaken
the definition of the dolphin-safe label on tuna cans.
This action would devastate dolphin populations.
" Dolphin-safe "標籤 -- 過去用來標示魚獲的獵捕過程中未傷及海豚的標籤
其使用的標準(這裡特別指在鮪魚罐頭上) 正在某些商業壓力下被嘗試著降低中
Help us ensure that our government makes the right decision to
protect dolphins. Our partner, Defenders of Wildlife,
has a special team of experts working with Congressional offices to prevent
the senseless slaughter of dolphins. But the international fishing industry
is powerful. We need your support to help us protect dolphins from again
dying in unprecedented numbers.
國際漁業工業的力量太強 我們還是需要大家的支持才能夠與之對抗
You can help today by "adopting" a dolphin.
When you adopt a dolphin, you will help Defenders of Wildlife continue
their critical legal, legislative and grassroots efforts against the powerful
fishing industry to protect the "dolphin-safe" label and fight against deadly
fishing practices. Please adopt one of these magnificent creatures today:

藉著領養海豚 為保護他們貢獻點心力
If you believe dolphins are as special as I do,
and that these intelligent creatures deserve to be protected
from careless fishing practices, please give generously to help Defenders
of Wildlife strengthen efforts to ensure dolphins swim freely.
Thank you for caring,

P.S. Defenders of Wildlife recently won an important court case against
special interests that were trying to weaken America's "dolphin safe" tuna
labeling laws. But they'll be back and so will we.
