Dolphin slaughter: Taiji cove hunt begins in Japan

Although it seems this is not an illegal procedure in Japan, we can feel it is unfair for these poor animals the way they die. The truth is that tradition, honour and survival cannot be an excuse to certain actions towards helpless, intelligent, nice and sociable animals like dolphins.

The British and American ambassadors to Japan have joined a chorus of international criticism at fishermen there who hunt and slaughter dolphins.
The annual killing takes place at a coastal town in the south of the country where the mammals are driven into a pen and then killed for their meat using metal poles.
Environmentalists claim the practice is cruel and dolphins can take up to 30 minutes to die by suffocation or drowning.
Rupert Wingfield Hayes says dolphins are being dragged up onto the beach and slaughtered.
