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)
