The killers seal the spotted dolphins off inside the main cove where there is now no hope of escape - at Taiji, Japan
January 12th, 2015 - Pantropical Spotted Dolphins - Captive and Slaughter
Yet another devastating Red Cove day. It was Pantropical Spotted dolphins that were the victims of the heinous crimes at the hands of the Taiji killers today. This was the second pod of spotted dophins stolen from the sea this killing season.
At approximately 7:00am this morning, shortly after leaving the harbour the killing vessels went out towards the south side of the main look out point used by the Cove Guardians and then spread out combing the waters for prey. It was about one hour later that the beginnings of a drive formation was spotted on the horizon to the North including six vessels while simultaneously another drive appeared to be beginning several kilometres away to the South. Shortly after it appeared that the fleet of six had a strong hold on the pod and drove them hard towards the shore. The remaining portion of the fleet decided to withdraw from their pursuit of the second pod to join the hunt.
The family of approximately 23 striped dolphins stayed heartbreaking close to each other during the entire horrific process. Young juveniles were seen also swimming within the pod. 4 of the spotted dolphins were taken captive and are now being held in the harbour pens where they face a lifetime of depressing captivity after witnessing the remainder of their famil slaughtered before their eyes. Approximately 21-23 lives were destroyed today. Cove Guardians will vigilantly monitor the survivors today to document their condition – at Taiji, Japan.
