The cutouts on his back, frank, do not seem to leave any doubt.
Thursday, a dead and dismembered dolphin was "found on Bergère beach in La Barre-de-Monts, in Vendée, by one of our supporters", indicates Sea Shepherd France on social networks, photo in support.
According to the association, the animal was probably eaten by the fishermen who captured it.
“While not all fishermen engage in this strictly illegal practice, some are still considering dolphins, a 'protected' species, as food”, deplores the NGO.
This dolphin, a victim of fishing, was consumed.
He was found yesterday in Vendée.
Among the hundreds of dead dolphins that come to mourn our beaches, each year several are found mutilated in this way.
What about concrete measures?

On-board cameras
Six months ago, a similar case had already been identified in Vendée.
Discoveries "regular" enough on the French coast for Sea Shepherd France to continue to demand the introduction of on-board cameras on fishing vessels as well as the prohibition of fishing areas frequented by dolphins "to non-selective vessels".
