A Look Inside the Taiji Slaughterhouse

Save Japan Dolphins volunteer Leilani Munter's footage from a dolphin drive and slaughter. On October 11, 2010 a pod of dolphins were driven into the Cove in Taiji, Japan. The following day, many of them were slaughtered there. This is the footage she collected over those two days.

There are many recorded incidents throughout history of dolphins saving human lives - is this is how we repay them? Dolphins are intelligent, friendly, and self aware creatures with complex social structures and languages. They do not belong in aquariums. If you go to dolphin shows you are supporting the slaughter of thousands of innocent wild dolphins. (Watch The Cove to better understand the undeniable connection between the dolphin slaughter and the captivity industry). Dolphins are not ours to kill, eat, or kidnap from their families so we can make them do tricks for food. Dolphins belong in the ocean. Let them be.

Not everyone can travel to Taiji, but everyone can participate in the International Save Japan Dolphins Day on October 14, 2010. Please visit http://savejapandolphins.org/blog.html for details. More from Leilani can be found at http://carbonfreegirl.com

The fucking government is corrupted!!

[Pimarisensei]

Although I hate the Japanese government trying to hide all the dolphin slaughtering! Many Japanese don't even know about it cuz the Yakuza and politicians hide it. It's not the Japanese fault

[Pimarisensei]

The tsunami has nothing to do with TAiJi!! Idiots!!

[Pimarisensei]

All u westerners r fucking idiots. You should all die in hell right fucking now. Tsunami is not a fucking revenge you stupid losers. Yea I wonder how many of those people who lost their lives in the tsunami has even caught a single fish in their life?yet you idiot fucking westerners say it's revenge? If all the FISHERMAN who slaughter dolphins were all killed in a tsunami at TAiJi,then you r more likely to call that a revenge in your case. Fukushima and TAiJi are in a completely different pl

@gymikk Unfortunately, I don't think you understand that there is a difference between "hunting" and mass murder. It is common knowledge that dolphin meat carries a toxic level of Mercury. Do the Japanese survive on Mercury? Most Japanese people are not even AWARE that they are eating Dolphin meat because they know it is toxic. Slaughter: Killing in great numbers not necessarily for meat Hunting: To pursue for food in order to survive. Get your facts straight and then argue your point.
