Japanese Dolphin Slaughter Caught on Video: "New footage shot in the small Japanese town of Taiji shows dolphins are still being slaughtered inhumanely and in mass quantities, despite assurances from authorities the annual hunt no longer used such techniques.
The video, shot by US group Save Japan Dolphins, was shot on Tuesday and uploaded to YouTube.
It appears to disprove claims dolphin hunting was made more humane in the wake of 2009's documentary on the hunt, The Cove, which exposed the brutal methods used to kill around 1500 dolphins every year.
The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Australian marine science student Nicole McLachlan, who is in Taiji: 'One of the hardest things I have witnessed here is the distress and anguish of these animals during a slaughter... ''And today some were taken under the tarps and killed while the rest of their family remained in the waters nearby."
