No words - Taiji, Japan

February 7, 2016 - Bottlenose Dolphins Captivity and Slaugter – at Taiji, Japan

 

On February 6, a Saturday in Taiji, after calling a blue cove day, the hunters showed up the harbor to transfer to Bottlenose dolphins out of the harbor pens and onto a truck out of Taiji.

In the middle of the first transfer, the Cove Guardians watched in horror as suddenly 9 killing machines raced from the harbor, directly in the direction of an innocent pod of 25-27 Bottlenose dolphins.

In total 11 banger boats quickly drove this pod into the cove. The nets were dropped and the pod was abandoned by the killers. Without food and shelter the pod remained in the cove for the entire night, swimming in fear and panic, not knowing what the next day would bring.

At about 6:45am, local Japan time, killers and “ trainers” arrived at the cove and the selection process began. Several killers jumped into the waters of the killing cove and dragged the dolphins under the killing tarps for the evil selectors to decide if this innocent life will go to the hell of human entertainment or death.

After several hours of torment and torture 11 Bottlenose dolphins were selected for a life of tricks for human entertainment. Most likely these 11 beautiful creatures will not eat for several days and then be force-fed medicated, dead fish. Once they are eating dead-frozen fish the torture of performance will begin and they will be forced to learn horrific tricks in order to make a profit from the ticket sales.

With “trainers” still present in the water 3 Bottlenose dolphins were erased from existence. The remainder of the pod was forced from the cove in the same horrible way they were forced in 24 hours earlier, by 3 banger boats.
