Ocean Sentry
A family of melon headed whales was quickly found this morning off the coast of Taiji and driven into the Cove.
The entire family was slaughtered and Cove Monitors witnessed the bodies of the 23 melon heads being dragged out from under the tarps by the skiffs.
The skiffs drove over the bodies that were attached to them by ropes as they left the Cove headed for the butcher house.
These melon headed whales swam closely together as they spent their last few moments as a family.
These brutal hunts are documented by team of Cove Monitors each season, and shared with the international public so that attention may be drawn to this outdated and unnecessarily cruel practice.
