David Bowie’s “Heroes” helps dolphins even after death

This weekend, David Bowie will posthumously be inducted into the Wildlife Heroes Hall of Fame and be apart of an extensive protest focusing on Japans senseless and cruel killing of dolphins.

One of Bowie’s most popular songs, “Heroes” has for years been an anthem associated with the serenity and harmony of dolphins.  Bowie allowed the song to be licensed for the Academy Award winning documentary “The Cove”.

The 2009 documentary evaluates and questions the dolphin hunting practices in Japan.  The Dolphin Project, the Born Free Foundation, and London Against the Dolphin Massacre group will conclude the protest with David Bowie’s “Heroes” and will lead to the Japanese Embassy.

For allowing “Heroes” to be used to bring awareness to the dolphin slaughter crisis, David Bowie is not only a hero to dolphins but a hero to animal lovers everywhere.  

​Rest in Peace Mr. David Bowie.
