The Taiji dolphin drive hunt is based on driving dolphins and other small cetaceans into a small bay where they can be killed or captured for their meat and for sale to dolphinariums. The new primary killing method is done by cutting the spinal cord of the dolphin, a method that claims to decrease the mammal's time to death. Taiji has a long connection to whaling in Japan. The 2009 documentary film The Cove drew international attention to the hunt. Taiji is the only town in Japan where drive hunting still takes place on a large scale.

  • La caza anual de delfines en Taiji, Japón, tiene lugar cada año entre los meses de septiembre a abril. Según la Agencia de Investigación de Pesca japonesa, 1.623 delfines fueron capturados en la Prefectura de Wakayama en el año 2007 para el consumo humano o la venta a delfinarios. La mayoría de ellos fueron capturados en el Taiji.​ La caza anual de delfines es una fuente de ingresos para los residentes locales, pero ha recibido una condena mundial, tanto por la crueldad de la matanza de delfines como por los altos niveles de mercurio de la carne de delfín.​ (es)
  • The Taiji dolphin drive hunt is based on driving dolphins and other small cetaceans into a small bay where they can be killed or captured for their meat and for sale to dolphinariums. The new primary killing method is done by cutting the spinal cord of the dolphin, a method that claims to decrease the mammal's time to death. Taiji has a long connection to whaling in Japan. The 2009 documentary film The Cove drew international attention to the hunt. Taiji is the only town in Japan where drive hunting still takes place on a large scale. The government quota allows over 2,000 cetaceans to be slaughtered or captured, and this hunt is one of the world's biggest. Annually, an approximation of 22,000 small cetaceans are killed using the methodology of drive hunting, taking place in the waters of Japan. The annual dolphin hunt provides income for local residents, but has received criticism for both the cruelty of the slaughter methods and the high mercury levels of the dolphin meat. A majority of international concern is on the hunting method, which is viewed as inhumane. An article by National Geographic refers to The Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums decision to no longer support the Taiji hunt. In 2015, it was announced that there would be a ban in the buying and selling of dolphins through the means of this hunt. (en)
  • La chasse annuelle aux dauphins de Taiji est une pêche dirigée saisonnière qui se déroule chaque année à Taiji au Japon, de septembre à mars. Selon l'agence de la Pêche japonaise, 1 623 dauphins ont été pêchés dans la préfecture de Wakayama dans des buts alimentaires, ou lucratifs via la vente d'animaux à l'international pour des delphinariums. La grande majorité d'entre eux sont pêchés dans la baie de Taiji. La chasse annuelle aux dauphins est la principale source de revenus pour la population locale, et a fait l'objet d'une critique d'une ampleur mondiale basée sur la cruauté de la pratique et sur le haut taux de mercure contenu dans la viande de dauphin.
