A massive Bottlenose pod of 60-70 dolphins was discovered far south of Taiji by the dolphin killers this morning at approximately 8:30am. The pod was driven toward Taiji with haste and greed.

At 9:30am the pod was frantically separated into 2 and it appeared that the second pod had escaped. As the first pod was netted in the killing cove at approximately 10:00am, 9 killing boats were driving the second pod toward the harbor and ruthlessly forcing in a second net which divided the two pods for the duration of their imprisonment.

As if today was not tortuous enough, these dolphins will remain divided and held overnight until tomorrow morning for a total of 20 hours without food, frantic and traumatized. Captive selection and slaughter will take place just after sunrise tomorrow.
