Please share widely! 250+ Bottlenose Dolphins Captured & Held Overnight In The Cove; Captive Selection & Slaughter At ~ 1 Pm PT Today Tune in today at ~ 1 pm pt to watch the Sea Shepherd Cove Guardian live stream at: livestream.seashepherd.org. Five separate pods of Bottlenose dolphins were driven into Taiji’s infamous killing cove yesterday and held overnight. This now massive pod of more than 250 dolphins includes babies and juveniles, including a rare albino calf who has been clinging as closely as possible to his or her mother in the stress and panic of the drive hunt. If not killed, the albino will most certainly be taken as a novelty for Taiji’s local marine park attractions. In some cultures, it is taboo to capture or otherwise harm albino animals, as they are considered “spirit” animals and hunting them is thought to be bad luck. Today, the members of the pod will face a violent and stressful captive selection process. Babies and mothers will be torn from each other’s sides as some are taken for captivity, some are killed, and others are driven back out to sea to fend for themselves.
