“Before most people were awake this morning, the killers of Taiji had already trapped a pod of 17 Risso Dolphins within the cove. As the pod was further netted off within the confines of the killing cove, two Risso dolphins tried desperately to escape their fate as they attempted to swim through the nets. The killers, however, were working too hastily to notice or care and left a member of the pod to drown. The remaining 16 members were then dragged one-by-one to the killing shore and murdered by the killers”
According to Cetabase on 5th February, 20 more Risso’s were available to be “taken” in the quota. Therefore they can only take 3 more. Surely not worth the effort…Hopefully the Risso’s can swim freely past Taiji until September when the taken figure goes back to zero…
Am being realistic as although we have the Global Taiji Awareness Day on 22nd February, it is unrealistic to expect that the hunt will cease before September. Wouldn’t it be great if it did…Blue Cove Forever. That is what we are fighting for…
