27 Risso’s dolphins slaughtered while 9 taken for a life in captivity: Taiji

A pod of 36 Risso’s dolphins was destroyed today. 9 were taken for captivity while 27 had their lives extinguished.

Some who were taken captive were under the tarps as their family members were brutally killed right in front of them.

The sounds of the dolphins slapping their flukes on the water as their life force drained away was heard over and over.

Trainers remained under the tarps as dolphins were slaughtered, working side by side with the hunters as they selected their captives.

Please take a look at the faces of these Risso’s dolphins who were lost forever today.

Many will be reduced to packages of food while others will spend the rest of their lives in a concrete tank performing for humans.

Please do not support the captive dolphin industry. Together, we can end the demand for captive dolphins.

The dolphins pay for your ticket with their blood and lost freedom.

It’s time to end the show!
