Dolphin hunt in Japan (Taiji): Dolphins are driven into a bay, torn from their families, and brutally killed. The “best” are taken alive and sold for up to $100,000 to the dolphinarium industry. Then they spend their lives in small concrete tanks—trained and forced to perform until death. Vid by: Kunito Seko #japan #dolphins #EmptyTheTanks #wildlife #Ocean | Save the Ocean

Last season, 1,824 dolphins were allowed to be captured or slaughtered. Of those, 90 bottlenose dolphins were sold into captivity for up to $130,000 per dolphin. These hunts aren’t just a hunt.

Taiji: All of these dolphins were captured from the wild in Taiji's notoriously cruel dolphin drive hunts and held at the Taiji Whale Museum- one of the entities brokering live dolphins to aquariums and marine parks. In recent years, a growing number of places around the world have banned importing dolphins from Taiji, largely due to the documentation showing the cruel treatment during the drive hunts or have banned captivity altogether. These are positive steps in the right direction, but there

WARNING: Sensitive content of distressed animals.

The dolphins caught will be used for meat or wildlife tourism during the selection process.

Taiji Whale Museum: This bottlenose dolphin is one of countless dolphins that were captured for the marine park trade in Taiji's brutal dolphin drive hunts. While progress has been made with a growing number of regions around the world banning the import of Taiji dolphins, or moving to ban cetacean captivity altogether, there is still much to be done to protect these animals from exploitation.

The divers grabbed the dolphins one by one and brought them under the tarps, out of our sight. As the process was ending, the dolphins were pushed out from under the tarps.

Halfway through the 2025–2026 Taiji dolphin hunt season, the numbers are already devastating. Dolphins are still being driven into the cove, slaughtered, or selected for a life in captivity - not because of meat demand, but because marine parks across Asia continue to buy live dolphins. The global captivity industry is what keeps these hunts profitable. We’re working to expose the live-trade pipeline, cut demand for captive dolphins, and push for stronger protections so fewer dolphins are torn f

On Dec. 7, 2020 a pod of melon-headed whales was driven into the cove in Taiji, Japan. Despite claims of these hunting methods being “humane,” there is major cause for concern of the suffering these animals endure throughout the hunting process. During this hunt, one melon-headed whale was seen with flukes tethered to a skiff- this tethering method is typically used after the cetacean has been killed and is being towed back to the harbor. Many other individuals swam into the nets in panic, and a

Taiji: The dolphin hunters drove in a pod of striped dolphins, a deep water species. As the dolphins were pushed into shallow water, they panicked. Dolphins could be seen tangled in nets, pressed up against concrete and rocks in desperate attempts to escape. The divers grabbed and manhandled them as they forced them under the tarps where their lives were extinguished.

Taiji: Dolphin hunters quickly found a small pod of Risso’s dolphins and drove them into the Cove after a long battle. 4 were carried back out to sea and dumped. Presumably moms with calves. The remaining 6 dolphins were slaughtered. Their lifeless bodies dragged to the butcher house. Yet another sad day in Taiji. Feb 5. 2026 | Dolphin Project
