January 12, 2016 - Striped Dolphins Slaughter – at Taiji, Japan

 

At approximately 8:15am, local Japan time, the Cove Guardians witnessed in horror as the fleet of banger boats again came together in formation.

The pod of 48-50 Striped dolphins were obviously exhausted as they were forced along the coast of Taiji into the killing cove. Quickly once inside the killing cove, the entire family was rushed under the killing tarps where three killers were waiting to end the lives of the innocent pod.

 

No captives were taken today. The entire pod of 48-50 Striped dolphins was slaughtered.

 

The atrocities that occurred today will continue until the end of February when the 2015-2016 drive-hunt season ends. The hunters call this tradition, it seems more like the destruction of innocent lives !!!
