The tarps at the Fishermen's Union are removed once the butchering process is over-The day is over and now 14 lives are missing— at Taiji Japan
February 8th, 2015 - Risso's Dolphins - Slaughter & Captive — at Taiji Japan
Twelve innocent Risso's dolphins lost their lives at the hands of the Taiji butchers today, with another two consigned to a life of slavery in the captive trade.
It was a rainy morning here in Taiji, and the Cove Guardians awakened with the hope that the boats would not venture out in those conditions. Greed was more powerful than common sense, however, and shortly after the boats left port, six were observed on a return course, billowing black smoke indicative of a drive formation. A small pod of Risso's dolphins had been discovered not far off shore, and the killers drove them in with unrelenting speed and savagery. The Risso's fought valiantly, but were ultimately netted within the confines of the killing cove to await their fate.
Their bloolust unsatisfied, the killers quickly located and mercilessly drove a second small pod of Risso's to the Cove, as well. Two members of the second pod attempted to flee, but found themselves wrapped in a net the murderers deployed to contain the small family. One remained entangled in the nets for so long that it looked completely lifeless by the time one of the killers finally ripped it from the nets. So-called "trainers" were brought to the scene, and two Risso's were selected for a life of captivity for human "entertainment". The remaining twelve members of the two pods, exhausted and panicked from their ordeal, were brutally slaughtered, much to the delight of the dolphin meat buyers who turned out to partake of the day's spoils.
These blameless cetaceans did not die alone, as the Cove Guardians stood firm through the rain and frigid conditions to document and expose the horror wrought by the killers of Taiji. The livestream from today's expose can be found at livestream.seashepherd.org #tweet4taiji #OpInfinitePatience.
