Just days after a media storm rose up around the disturbing dolphin hunts in Taiji, Japan, the hunters are at it again -- Sea Shepherd's Cove Guardians reported last night that fishing boats set out once again in search of a pod, only a day after over 100 were released from the nets.

The hunters were unable to drive the pod back into the cove, though.

Hunters go out nearly every day searching for potential pods to pick from and as we reported Tuesday, these hunts begin in September and can last until the end of February or early March.
