Ric O'Barry, founder of The Dolphin Project and star of the 2009 film "The Cove," was in Japan to witness the first days of the Taiji dolphin hunt on Friday. And an encounter he had with one of the victims left even a veteran like him shaken.

In the video, a panicked family of Risso's dolphins is shown swimming frantically around a tiny sea pen, having been herded from the deeper waters into the makeshift slaughterhouse. They swim up and down the enclosure, tangling themselves in the netted walls as they seek to escape ? a few swim beneath the nets but end up on the side close to shore instead of the open ocean.

Must remember to check Pinterest for a dolphin casserole recipe.

I hope you are fine brass.

:(

The secret is minced baby seal, not too much though, its very fatty.

Clubbed or harpooned?

I would think clubbed would tenderize the meat a little.

Here's a photo released by Japanese Media today.

Japs just love to blur the good bits.

Pretty sure that's Flipper in the top left of the boat.

I was actually just making a joke. :(

With the size of the blur that dolphin must have got a gigantic cock.

We do the same to fish, even to the point of hooking them and putting them through torment and call it sport.

Real free range chicken is very expensive, as is a lot of the food we eat.

Why are dolphins so different?

Mammals who we think of as intelligent, so ok to do it to dumber creatures, and they look cute.

Like Seals who eat so much fish and destroy fishermen's income.

:2 cents:

Ebola can get the job done.

The display of pain, sufferring, intelligence, distress from anything should be a show sign that we should not be killing/eating any of those animals or things

Frustrating to see this shit everyday how stupid/lazy/arrogant/weak people really are.

Sadly you are right. I would go apeshit seeing this myself. Those poor dolphins.

Horrific. Just horrific...
