Pictures Taiji 23 September 2010

Here are the pictures that go with the Bloody Taiji blog:

Approx 30 fishermen and dolphin trainers are waiting for their boats, it is 05.15 hrs in the morning. Boats with further staff are coming to pick them up.

Nets closing The Cove. Selection process is going on at the far right sight, behind the net. That is the entrance.

Most likely 2 dolphins are attached to each boat leaving the bay. That would make it

16 SELECTED DOLPHINS for the day, rather than the reported 8 we have seen. A fin can be seen in the sling.

The beach of Taiji. Walking onto the path starting at the orange fence in the back of the picture is not allowed. It would give a perfect view into The Cove...
