Has dolphin slaughter stopped in taiji?

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, dolphin slaughter continued to occur in Taiji, Japan. The annual dolphin drive hunt typically takes place from September to March. However, it is important to note that there have been ongoing efforts by animal rights activists, conservationists, and some local residents to raise awareness about the issue and push for an end to the practice. These efforts may have had some impact, and the situation might have evolved since then.

To obtain the most up-to-date and accurate information, I recommend that you check reputable news sources or consult organizations working to protect marine wildlife and dolphins specifically. Some relevant sources to consider checking include:
