Photo: "Cove" Movie Seeks to End Japan's Dolphin Hunt



In 2003 four Japanese fishermen haul dolphins out of a small cove in Taiji, whose waters run red during a yearly hunt in which roughly 2,000 of the animals are killed each year.

The hunt has drawn international condemnation from animal rights activists and scientists, who say it is inhumane and must be stopped.
