SCMP: 每年日本屠殺海豚在九月十六號已經開始 Japan slaughters first dolphins in widely-condemned annual cull

Fishermen, on a boat with their fresh kill, navigate blood-filled waters in the coastal town of Taiji in Japan's Wakayama prefecture, during last year's annual dolphin cull. 

Dolphin slaughter season began in Japan on Tuesday, as the country kicked off an annual cull repeatedly condemned by animal rights groups. 

Activists from the environmentalist group Sea Shepherd calling themselves 'Cove Guardians' have been monitoring a by in Taiji, southwestern Japan, since the six-month dolphin hunting season began earlier this month.
