Despite the atrocities of yesterday, all 12 banger boats headed out in pursuit of more dolphins to catch. And yes, they found a defenceless familiy. Within the course of 2.5 hours the hunters of Taiji ruined the lives of 7 Risso’s dolphins.
6 were slaughtered and 1 was forced to give up its freedom and spend the rest of its lifetime in captivity.
The dolphin drive hunts that take place each year in Taiji, Japan, have garnered international attention as the world has learned about the mass slaughter of dolphins and the ruthless captive selection process.
These brutal hunts are documented by our team of Cove Monitors each season, and shared with the international public so that attention may be drawn to this outdated and unnecessarily cruel practice.
