Adopt a Dolphin, Dolphin Outlook, Dolphin Project Cove Monitor, Risso dolphins guided to slaughter in Taiji, Japan, Up to Date Drive Stats
This is so hard for me to deal with every year. I go through so many physical things like my entire chest and parts of my body constricts knowing these pilot shales are just left to await their death while wading in a small confined area with the blood of their recently killed pod or family members. It is the most disgusting selective way of just being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Because if any of these dolphins that are hunted, killed or captured every half year for a half year it is pure luck of the draw. I assume this Taiji, Japan area of the world is in some path of the migfrating dolphins but even still, I maintain that we should be able to raise enough money to have people and boats and even methods to guide these dolphins in that path away from their private waters that are owned by people.
Which is whole other isse that we have nothing left uncovered and everything from the air we breathe (carbon tax / Cap Trade) to the land we walk on and to the oceans off every coast is owned by some country and/or by us humans. But we do have International waters to do what we whatever we want within reason or bty law.
However, we are losing this battle to Japan (http://donlichterman.blogspot.com/2017/09/why-do-japanese-people-hate-whales-so.html).
While the surviving members of this pod await their fate, the blood of their slaughtered family members moves closer and closer to them. Dolphin hunters are on a break now, all is quiet. #dolphinproject - Be a voice for the voiceless: TAKE ACTION: dolphin.fyi/
Standing by at the Cove as a pod of approximately 35 pilot whales await their fate. Will go LIVE as events unfold.

| It took only three
days for hunters to decimate their first pod of dolphins. For seven hours, hunters chased an unsuspecting nursery pod of pilot whales, filled with many juveniles, and despite a valiant fight the exhausted pod was driven into The Cove. “I could only imagine the nonstop terror the mammals must have been experiencing. I envisioned an entire family – grandparents, parents and children – fleeing for their lives, and wondered how many would wear down and just give up.“ ~ Dolphin Project Cove Monitor Juvenile pilot whale in season’s first drive. The Cove, Taiji, Japan. For three days the pod was trapped, with no access to food or water and suffering from multiple injuries. In the end, three young whales were selected for “life” in captivity, 20 adults were killed, and the remaining juveniles were driven back out to sea to fend for themselves. One dolphin was observed floating near the nets, lifeless, succumbing to injuries sustained from the hunt. A family of migrating Risso’s dolphins was the hunters' next target. Once driven into The Cove, trainers and hunters worked side-by-side, selecting one mammal for captivity while the remaining six were slaughtered. With many dolphins “presold” to marine parks in Japan and overseas, the nexus between the captivity industry and dolphin slaughters is undeniable. Risso’s dolphin guided to slaughter. Taiji, Japan.By documenting the dolphin hunts, our team of Cove Monitors is able to share this information with the rest of the world. And that’s where you come in: by sharing our social media and blog posts, you can help educate others. Only through awareness and knowledge can intelligent and ethical choices be made – ones where dolphins and whales are left to swim wild and free, unbound by glass and concrete walls. |
