The pod is pushed under the tarps to be selected for captivity or slaughtered - Taiji, Japan
December 20-22,2015 - Bottlenose Dolphins – at Taiji, Japan
Taiji, Japan continues to show the world where the horror of life in captivity begins. On December 20, 2015 (local Japan time) a pod of 85-90 Bottlenose dolphins were driven into the cove, in three separate drives.
After being left over night without shelter and food the panicked pod was met in the morning (local time, December 21, 2015) with greedy “trainers” who plucked 25 members of the family out of the ocean and dumped them into harbor pens. These innocent dolphins will be tortured by the “trainers” and only fed frozen fish once they have perfected the tricks they are forced to learn. However, this training will only begin after the dolphin has suffered days without eating, then he/she will be force-fed and have funnels shoved down their throat to prevent dehydration. They will be held against the side of the pen while “trainers” hold them down to get blood samples and do further tests.
On the morning of December 22, 2015, after again being left without shelter, food, and missing a large amount of their family members this shattered pod watched in horror as “trainers” and killers entered the cove. Trainers stood in the water selecting another five Bottlenose dolphins for captivity while the water turned red with blood from a slaughter.
After destroying so many lives the hunters returned on their killing machines and drove the pod out to open waters. The fear was almost palpable as the pod sprinted towards the open water. The young had a hard time keeping up and were observed swimming alone behind the pod. These dolphins may have been “released” but every death that occurs in this pod will be more blood on the hands of the killers.
In total over the three days 30 Bottlenose were taken into captivity, 28-30 were taken to the butcher house, 25-30 were driven out of the cove. This torture in Taiji is due to the captivity industry. So far this season we have seen 85 Bottlenose ripped from the ocean to be sold into a live of slavery, all of this for human entertainment and profit. If you buy a ticket to dolphin show or a swim with the dolphin adventure you are supporting the Taiji hunters. Captivity fuels these drives.
SAY NO TO CAPTIVITY !!!
