Taiji is a coastal village in Japan notorious for its widely criticized<em> dolphins and whales hunt.</em> The animals are driven into a small bay where they can be killed or captured for their meat and for sale to dolphinariums.

When a group ( pod ) od dolphins has been spotted, fishing boats move into position. Fishermen hold large poles under water and bang them with hammers to create a wall of sound <em>that disorientates the animals and causes them to swim towards the shore</em>. This is done at strategic points around the pod in an effort to herd them towards the land. The dolphins' sonar system is thus disturbed.

In the cove, mothers dolphins and their babies are separated by ropes, some are tied, some injure themselves while panicking, some die from stress and exhaustion.They are left in the cove overnight to calm down.

The following day, the fishermen enter the bay and the dolphins are caught one by one. They are killed by driving a metal pin into their neck which causes them to die quickly. The killing used to be done by slashing their throats but this method of killing has been banned by the Japanese government.

In a research, this is the step after hypothesis and observation. The first step here is a question about correlation of fear of crime and police presence in a community. By proving that there is no relationship between these two variables, the researcher can move on to theory building where he/she reconciles their discoveries and knowledge of related fields.
