Dumb Animals

Just past the small bridge adorned by stone dolphins reads a wooden sign:

“Welcome to Taiji."

Taiji-cho, a small coastal town of the Kinki region in Wakayama Prefecture on the main Japanese island of Honshu, is a prime location to conduct such “dolphin drive” operations. The town’s position at the tip of a peninsula jutting into the Pacific Ocean places it along the migratory paths of ocean mammals and Taiji’s Hatagiri Bay has been physically altered in size and depth to make it an ideal cove for driving in these pods.



Strangely enough, the water in Taiji Bay is not naturally red.

If you hear nothing else in this video below, remember this:
“DOLPHINS NEVER ABANDON WOUNDED FAMILY MEMBERS”



The Japanese fishermen are indiscriminate. They kill any species that approaches the coast. Many people have witnessed the killing of:

- Striped dolphins
- Bottlenose dolphins
- Pilot whales*
- Killer whales
- Melon-headed whales
- Risso dolphins

*The killing of pilot whales violates Japan's treaty obligations to 
the International Whaling Commission.
