The murderers in action seen between the tarps committing unspeakable crimes against nature, all for greed — at Taiji Japan

January 20th 2015, Risso's Dolphins Slaughter — at Taiji Japan

 

Another absolutely devastating day in Taiji. Today the killers gathered all 12 of their boats and set out to destroy another family of dolphins just after sunrise. Cove Guardians spotted 2 hunting boats circling an area approximately 2.5 km off the coast just after 7 am. By 7:45 am six hunting boats had gathered into a drive formation trying to push the dolphins towards the cove using their full force. The hunters met some of the most determined and full of fight dolphins they had ever encountered with the drive continuing for nearly 4 hours. The number of times the dolphins escaped the hunters and left them driving in circles of black smoke and chaos were innumerable but this was not enough to save them from their bloody slaughter. Eventually all 5 beautiful Risso’s dolphins were driven into the killing cove where they were netted in and their fates sealed. One of the Risso's dolphins managed to escape the killers attempts to beach her in the killing cove and she swam furiously toward the netting that blocked her from the open ocean while her family were being tortured on the shore. Cove Guardians documented one of the dolphins tethered, dying slowly and painfully as it looked directly into their cameras between the tarps put in place by the killers to try and conceal the true nature of their brutal practices. Today was a horrifying display of the barbarism that takes place almost daily here in the cove of Taiji. A Beautiful family was destroyed but they did not die in silence. The world was watching and we will stop this nightmare !!!
