A group from Sea Shepherd are currently at Taiji, Japan, scene of the annual dolphin hunt. The hunt, subject of the award winning documentary The Cove, is underway again this year. The Sea Shepherd team aims to ensure that the killing of dolphins that has taken place previously, will not take place this year. They intend to do so by publicizing and photographing the events that occur, despite threats of violence and intimidation made against them. In the past, groups bearing witness to the hunt have succeeded in curtailing the hunt and in some dolphins being released. Captain Paul Watson says Sea Shepherd's aim is:
"The key to saving the dolphins is for people to constantly be in Taiji so the slaughter is not allowed to go on out of sight of cameras and witnesses."

Comment(s):The fishermen in Taiji have tried desperately to keep the location of the killing cove secret and keep cameras away. Not any more! It’s great to see Sea Sheperd join forces with Earth Island and Ric O’Barry.
Here’s the exact location of the infamous cove:

spread it far and wide, and let everybody know.
