According to The Dolphin Project, which has a team of monitors recording the situation on the ground in Taiji throughout the hunting season, after 15 consecutive Blue Cove days, a small pod of Risso’s dolphins was forced into the killing Cove.
Tarps were drawn across the killing area but there was a delay as the “trainers” came and went under the tarps with the dolphin hunters.
One dolphin was declared suitable for captivity and taken away in a sling, on the side of a skiff.
The others were left to be slaughtered.
A struggle ensued as the dolphins tried to escape, only to be caught in the nets and pulled back to the killing area. The hunters quickly extinguished their lives.
