These dolphins were callously murdered only moments prior and we managed to get this shot when the wind picked up - Taiji, Japan
January 17, 2016 – Striped Dolphins Slaughter – Taiji, Japan
Today a pod of 35-45 striped dolphins were driven into the cove and slaughtered in cold blood.
At 08:30am, Sea Shepherd Cove Guardians noticed a clear formation of six boats on the horizon.
By 09:30am, nine of the ten banger boats were driving, the pod was spotted and within the hour, Cove Guardians scaled Glenda’s and identified the pod as striped by 11am.
The massacre was brutal and left absolute carnage. Many dolphins were tangled in nets and bleeding heavily while the skiffs purposely ran over lone dolphins. The water was thick with blood as the entire family, including a handful of juveniles, were tortured, manhandled and dragged before their ultimate demise.
12:15pm, the massacre had ended, three skiffs left full of bodies, and the cove was ghostly quiet.
A lot of Japanese people don’t know just how merciless the dolphin slaughters are.
These brutal hunts only exist so a small group of middlemen can line their pockets selling wild dolphins to marine parks.
In order to end the cruelty, we need to expose their greed.
