It is predicted that the Taiji Whale Museum will keep "Angel" for captive display. 

"Every year, fishermen in the town of Taiji Cove, western Wakayama prefecture, drive hundreds of dolphins into a cove, select many for auction sale to marine parks, release some, and kill the rest for meat. On Tuesday, at least 30 dolphins out of the group of more than 200 held in the cove since Friday without feeding were herded by boat engines and nets into the killing portion of the Taiji Cove, Reuters reported. Fishermen waiting in the shallows, some in wet suits with snorkeling masks, wrestled the dolphins into submission and tied their tails with ropes. The fishermen pulled a tarp in front of the cove to prevent activists and reporters from witnessing the slayings, but a large pool of blood seeping under the tarp and spreading across the cove made the slaughter apparent.

 "A metal rod was stabbed into their spinal cord, where they were left to bleed out, suffocate, and die," Sea Shepherd Conservation Society activist Melissa Sehgal told Reuters. "After a traumatic four days held captive in the killing cove, they experienced violent captive selection, being separated from their family, and then eventually were killed today."  - Gabrielle Jonas from International Science Times
