2014 Bottlenose dolphins 52 captives 41 dead — at Taiji Japan. DAY 1 17th - A colossal pod of 250 plus Bottlenose dolphins including babies, juveniles and one baby albino dolphin is being held captive overnight in the cove right now. It will be a total of 19 hours before they will endure the torture of being ripped from their family and selected for captivity. Those not selected will be slaughtered for human consumption. At approximately 7:30am dolphin killers and trainers transferred 3 Bottlenose dolphins from the Taiji harbor pens to Dolphin Resort Hotel. The 3 dolphins were transferred in slings via skiff and into the above ground concrete tanks. This is Dolphin Resort’s second transfer within days. The transfer was complete, but the day was just beginning as the dolphin killers discovered the enormous pod of Bottlenose dolphins. About 10am we spotted two separate dolphin drives just over the horizon. The pods were massive. As the killing boats rapidly progressed toward Taiji, the dolphins attempted to escape many times and were eventually driven in as 5 separate pods. The killers were merciless as usual in their attempts to herd these dolphins into the cove. The nets were drawn and the pods were driven in one by one until all five pods were combined into 2 sections. Left divided into two separate groups over night. This is the largest pod to be driven into the cove in several years, last December 2012, a Bottlenose pod of nearly 200 dolphins was dissected for captivity and slaughter and the process took several days. At this time, it is unknown if captive selection will occur tomorrow morning as Saturdays are normally a day off for the Fisherman’s Union. This pod is far too valuable and worth millions of dollars. The baby albino dolphin alone is quite priceless. Shortly after the Bottlenose pod was corralled into the cove, 4 Pantropical Spotted dolphins were transferred via truck toward Osaka. These 4 dolphins were kidnapped just a few days ago from their home, the ocean and placed in the harbor holding pens. Cove Guardians attempted to follow, but the truck was traveling at such an excessive and unsafe speed, the truck’s destination is unknown. DAY 2 18TH 25 bottlenose dolphins headed for a life of captivity today. Their family members are still in the cove for a second night of no food, traumatised from todays events waiting for their turn at 6am. The beautiful Albino calf was trucked to the 太地町立くじらの博物館 （Taiji Whale Museum） I for one will never rest whilst it is captive. One dolphin didnt make it and died in the harbour pens. Dont let these poor dolphins lives end in vain, show the marine park visitors what they pay into, shame the parks who buy and fund the hunt. Tell the governments, press, embassies that it has to stop. Dont let their lives be for nothing. DAY 3 19th A total of 15 dolphins were taken today from the cove via sling and transferred to the Taiji harbor sea pens and several captive facilities in Taiji. 40 dolphins over the 2 days taken into captivity, many abused, and injured The remaining pod is still being held for a third night and will await their fate until sunrise tomorrow. We expect that most of the pod will be slaughtered and some too small to claim for quota will be driven back out to sea to fend for themselves. One Pantropical Spotted dolphin was found dead in the Taiji harbor holding pens where it was quickly hidden under a tarp and dragged to the butcher house. This dolphin was from the captives taken just a few days ago from the cove. DAY 4 20th The carnage continues, the fisherscum get more disrespectful and tougher with the dolphins. 11 more Bottlenose dolphins were taken today from the killing cove. After three consecutive days of captive selection, a total of 51 dolphins have been ripped from their family and will never see the ocean again. The remaining 200 Bottlenose pod awaits slaughter and will be held in the cove for a fourth night until tomorrow morning, no food for 4 days, exhausted, traumatised and injured. DAY 5 21ST For the fifth straight day the killers of Taiji, Japan inflicted further pain and suffering on 42 of the 250 Bottlenose dolphins that were herded into the cove. After the killers arrived at daybreak they pushed the first Bottlenose dolphin pod to the killing shore with the same inhumane muscle and force typical in Taiji. Unfortunately, however, the pod that fought so hard in the previous days was unable fight from lack of food, exhaustion, and injuries sustained from killers and motors over the last five days. Once on the shore 40 dolphins were each sentenced to a slow, painful, and conscious death as a metal rod was rammed into their spinal cord. The killers were not the only ones to witness each dolphin suffer on the shore, 1 Bottlenose watched its family murdered in front of her before she was transported to a tiny captive prison in the harbor. Death did not end on the killing shore this morning. One dolphin in the second remaining pod was seen struggling in the nets and ignored by the killers before he/she finally drowned. Killers tried to hide the death of this dolphin with tarps, but his/her struggle was not in vain as Cove Guardians were there for the world to see. Hungry from killing up an appetite, the dolphin murderers took a break for lunch before the remaining 130-140 starved and injured Bottlenose dolphins were driven back out to sea in the same deafening manner as the drive in. Many babies and juveniles were seen in the remaining pod. Too small to count for quota and deemed unsuitable for captivity. Many of these dolphins who were driven out will not survive and will soon be found washed ashore in the coming days. A total of 93 Bottlenose dolphins were taken from the ocean in the past 5 days by the barbaric killers and trainers of Taiji, Japan. The killers claim the barbaric drive, starvation, beating, and murdering of dolphins is there culture. However, they continue to try and hide their actions and make millions of dollars off of the captive industry that is used for funding the slaughter.
