The family are exhausted and terrified after enduring the cruel drive hunt process — at Taiji Japan
11th of February 2015 - Striped Dolphin Slaughter — at Taiji Japan
Another brutal day in Taiji claims the lives of several dozen striped dolphins.
It was a cold morning here in Taiji as the dolphin killers left port with dollar signs in their eyes and a lust for blood in their veins. The seas were calm and the skies clear, but as the hours passed with no signs of the black smoke and boat formations indicative of a drive, the Cove Guardians became hopeful that a third blue day lay before them. That optimism was short lived, however, as shortly after emerging from the horizon, the killing fleet discovered a large pod of striped dolphins, and began driving them aggressively towards The Cove.
As they approached the harbor, the banger boats split the pod three times in an attempt to control their movements. Half of the dolphins were able to escape back to sea, but unfortunately, a sizeable group was herded and ultimately driven into the killing zone. The killers moved hastily, with much shouting and commotion apparent to the Cove Guardians documenting the goulish process. Tarps were placed along the sides of The Cove to prevent any dolphins from throwing themselves against the rocks in desperation as they attempted to avoid their fate. In the end, The Cove ran red as the entire pod was brutally slaughtered for human consumption, a loss of approximately 35-40 innocent souls stacked unceremoniously within two skiffs.
