Not just another day in Taiji but one that has not been frequent enough. No dolphins were taken from their homes because they could not be found by the hunters and killers. Conditions were close to ideal but after 3 odd hours the boats turned for home. Mixed feelings as always, one of elation and one of sadness because before long these guys will be returning much more frequently without dolphins because there will be none. Today we dance but will we dance in a few years when this has stopped because of extinction? Let us not forget the animals that have lost their lives because of man and the ones that live in fear of our shadow.
