RED COVE 🩸🐬🩸
It was sunny day like the past few days, and the height of the waves was 1.5 meters.
Kunito was resting when dolphin hunters went hunting this morning, but when he went to the harbor near 10 o’click, all blue sheets of the slaughterhouse had already been down. It means being ready to kill dolphins.
At that time, there was a formation not far away. All 10 banger boats were driving a pod. They dived deep and tried many times to find the right moment to escape, but were blocked by bangers belching black smoke and unfortunately driven into the Cove. It was a small pod of an estimated 5 Risso’s dolphins.
During first Live, it was thought that there might be babies because 2 slings were prepared on a skiff.
But then, some trainers of the Taiji Whale Museum came to the Cove. They came back empty-handed. No captives. And all the small pod were killed. It is unknown whether they had any small one or not.
One thing that became clear today is that the Taiji Whale Museum wants some Risso’s dolphins. The purpose may be a summer beach… just my thought.
