Ocean Sentry
A pod of 24 Striped dolphins were slaughtered for their meat this morning. After an extremely long drive, everything happened very quickly once they were netted in the Cove.
The thrashing began almost instantly.
Cove Monitors witnessed dolphins panic as one became entangled in a net and driven over by a skiff, and another dragged under the tarps by a rope tied around its tail.
The thrashing got louder and louder. It was unbearable to listen to the dolphins struggle as they drowned in their own – and their family’s – blood.
The water crimsoned and began to seep out from underneath the tarps.
Eventually, the thrashing subsided and was replaced by the sound of throwing dead bodies onto the skiffs. Through a gap in the tarps, Cove Monitors saw the face of a dead dolphin lying lifeless on a pile of bodies.
Once swimming wild and free, now to be butchered for human consumption.
