Thsi is Japan: Over 100 Bottlenose Dolphins were driven into the killing Cove
Taiji Japan, Thursday, December 19/20, 2024 , Written by Megumi Matsuda:
A pod of Bottlenose dolphins that was driven to the Cove yesterday and kept there overnight underwent selection process today. Since the start was later than usual, there was some concern that dolphins would be left alone for another day, but about 2 hours late, trainers from the Whale Museum and Dolphin Resort arrived in 2 skiffs.
At least 1 calf was seen yesterday and today there were at least two calves. There must have been others. We all know from watching the huntings every single day that hunters do NOT abide by their duty of effort to avoid mothers and calves, and frequently drive the nursery pods into the Cove.
The marking with white cream was also done today. Some of them were put on top of the original mark.
Yesterday it was estimated about 70 dolphins in this large pod, but the selection process made it appear that there were probably more than 100.
7 captives were captured from this large pod and taken to the sea-pens in Taiji harbor.
No slaughter and all remaining families were released.
In today’s release, the dolphins initially dispersed and some even went to non-offshore direction, and 1 banger boat was quickly added. The same technique is used to drive them into the Cove and release them, but we can imagine that the releases are not done seriously and diligently. In the past, dolphins have even gone into a set nets at the time of the release.
This is what the Japanese are doing to wild dolphins.
Dolphins are taken from their families and forced to perform until they die for the sake of audiences who want to see the dolphin show.
If you really love dolphins, please do not be a part of this atrocity.

#バンドウイルカ
昨日コーヴへ追い込まれ一晩留め置かれたイルカたちの選別が行われた。開始がいつもより遅かったため今日もさらに放置されるのかと心配されたが、約2時間ほど遅れて “クジラの博物館” と “ドルフィン•リゾート” のトレーナーたちが2隻のスキフで現れた。
昨日少なくとも1頭の子どもが見られたが、今日は少なくとも2頭いることがわかった。きっと他にもいたはずだ。
猟師たちが母子を避けるという努力義務を守らず頻繁にナーサリー・ポッドを追い込むことは、毎日猟を見ている我々はみな知っている。
白いクリームでの印つけは今日も行われた。中には、元々ついていた印の上に塗り重ねられた個体もいた。
昨日は70頭くらいと推測されたこの大きな群れは、おそらく100頭以上はいるようだった。
4つの選別グループに分けられたこの大きな群れから7頭が生け捕りにされ太地港の生け簀へ運ばれた。屠殺はなく、残りの群れ家族はすべてリリースされた。
当初、猟船7隻で追い出していた今日のリリースでは、イルカたちの一部が沖でない方向へ進んでしまったため、急遽もう1隻が追加された。コーヴへの追い込みとリリースは同じ手法で行われるのだが、リリースは真剣みを持ってやっていないことが推測される。過去にはリリース時にイルカたちが定置網へ入ってしまったことがあるくらいなので。
これが野生のイルカたちへ日本人が行っていること。
イルカショーを見たがる観客のために、イルカたちは家族のもとからさらわれ、死ぬまでショーをさせられるのです。
本当にイルカが好きなら、この残虐行為に加担しないでください。
