Ocean Sentry
Today, a pod of eight bottlenose dolphins, including a mother and calf, fought valiantly for their freedom. The dolphin hunters relentlessly pursued them, assaulting their senses with noise.
After finally netting the dolphins into the Cove, the exhausted dolphins were left for hours as the hunters pursued another pod.
The family huddled tightly together, the calf seeking comfort from the adults, as they awaited their fate.
Eventually, trainers arrived and took five bottlenose dolphins away for captivity, leaving three dolphins who were deemed unsuitable — perhaps too old, maybe not pretty enough — to be driven back to the ocean without the majority of their family.
A second drive occurred today. An unknown species was being driven in but swam under the boats and headed out to sea.
The banger boats quickly pursued the dolphins who headed straight towards the fishing nets.
The banger boats stopped at the nets and skiffs began to head out to the nets. After a long time, the banger boats went in and eventually the skiffs did too.
Cove monitors got to the harbor just in time to see a skiff under the butcher house tarps. Soon after, the tarps were rolled back up.
