Force feeding, medicating and measuring is the daily fate of these beautiful creatures destined for a life of slavery- Taiji,Japan
February 27 - Last day of 2014-2015 dolphin hunting season
Even though every Cove Guardian has been waiting for this, it was a bit unexpected after 10 days without any slaughter and the incessant thirst of blood of the killers but the end of the season has been sounded in Taiji today, Friday February 27th.
"Only" 9 of the killing boats went out this morning while the rest of the crew stayed in the harbour to pick up and store the material of the bloody occupation of this little Japanese town. While a Cove Guardian team was monitoring the hunt of the day, another one was monitoring the harbour where they quickly observed unusual moves. Killing boats, skiffs, trainers, vets, tarps and nets, a lot of bustle in Taiji harbour that turned out to be the preps to put an end to this season of hunt.
Nearly 700 dolphins have been killed and 70 taken captive during this winter since the beginning of September. Today is a "happy" day but it is especially a day to think of all the victims that fell at the hands of the Taiji killers and of all the lovely dolphins detained as prisoners in dolphinariums and other marine lands all over the world. Special thoughts for these animals but also for all the volunteers that have been in Taiji this season and the previous ones to give a voice to the voiceless and to put an end to this insane activity with an infinite patience…
We’ll stand here until they stop !!!
