Thousands protest in London against dolphin capture in Japan's Taiji Cove
Game of Thrones's Maisie Williams leads the charge for youth participation

GAME of Thrones star Maisie Williams led crowds in a march through London at the weekend in protest at the capture of dolphins on Japan’s coast.

Ms Williams joined the thousands fighting against “dolphin drives” in Japan’s Taiji Cove — where fishermen corner dolphins into bays to then catch them in nets.

The protest came as animal activists prepared to lobby Prince William ahead of his forthcoming trip to Japan.
