Taiji: The dolphin hunters battled with 3 Risso’s dolphins for hours before driving them into the Cove. The 3 Risso’s fought valiantly but one by one they were carried under the tarps and killed. The 3 dolphins stuck by each other’s sides throughout the ordeal, only to be ripped away from one another and taken under the tarps one by one to their deaths.

Taiji: The dolphin hunters drove in a pod of striped dolphins, a deep water species. As the dolphins were pushed into shallow water, they panicked. Dolphins could be seen tangled in nets, pressed up against concrete and rocks in desperate attempts to escape. The divers grabbed and manhandled them as they forced them under the tarps where their lives were extinguished.

Taiji: Dolphin hunters quickly found a small pod of Risso’s dolphins and drove them into the Cove after a long battle. 4 were carried back out to sea and dumped. Presumably moms with calves. The remaining 6 dolphins were slaughtered. Their lifeless bodies dragged to the butcher house. Yet another sad day in Taiji. Feb 5. 2026 | Dolphin Project
