Dolphin Awareness Month
Dolphin Awareness Month is an annual campaign commemorated in March to spread awareness about the merciless killing of dolphins. Dolphins are described as the smartest marine animal, and they have a long history of being friendly with human beings.

However, it is the friendly and trusting nature of dolphins that has led to the demise of many and the mass endangerment of the species. Every year, thousands of dolphins are killed, either for their meat or their blubber, which are sold on black market.
