Japan has started its controversial annual dolphin hunt in the coastal town of Taij.
The hunt, which sees boats round the animals into a bay to be butchered or captured for aquariums, has drawn fierce criticism from animal-rights groups.
In fact, it was documented in the Oscar-winning documentary The Cove in 2009.
The six-month season reportedly ends in March.
It comes as Japan resumed commercial whaling this year.
